TELUGU 360 (Rating: 2.75/5):
HIT 3 is likely to resonate more with viewers who enjoy Western-inspired narratives and stylized action thrillers. While the second half may feel disconnected for the general mass audience, the film offers a refreshing departure from conventional formats. Though the storytelling struggles at times, the climax tries to resuce the film with its high-voltage moments and star-powered surprises. You may watch it for its unique packaging and Nani’s commanding performance.
Great Andhra (Rating: 2.75/5):
Overall, HIT3 is a decently engaging investigative thriller that can be watched in theatres for Nani’s terrific performance, and a few very well-executed sequences. A bit more effort in writing and at least fifteen minutes of trimming would have made the film very engaging.
Mirchi9 (Rating: 3/5):
HIT 3 is not a typical detective thriller. The film is a bold visual pastiche, mashing up genres with Western influences and stylized violence. It can pull away from a grounded mystery, and drive away the audience..for the ones who like big set pieces and larger-than-life stories they would be in for a ride. Nani carries the film on his shoulders with a riveting performance and makes HIT 3 worth a watch despite its narrative glitches.
123TELUGU (Rating: 3.25/5):
On the whole, HIT 3 is a pulsating survival thriller that has mad action. Nani in a rocking new avatar takes things to another level. The action drama is only for adults and has way too much bloodshed. If you ignore this aspect, HIT 3 makes up for a gripping watch for action movie lovers. Go for it.
Times Of India (Rating: 3.5/5):
HIT 3 is not just a sequel—it’s an evolution. With powerful performances, a mind-bending script, and atmospheric direction, it sets a new benchmark for Telugu thrillers. Nani delivers a career-best, Srinidhi proves she’s here to stay, and Sailesh Kolanu once again proves he’s the master of intelligent suspense cinema. Whether you’re a fan of thrillers, character-driven dramas, or franchise storytelling, HIT 3 is unmissable. It’s cinema that thrills the mind and moves the soul.
