Another reviewer, SIIMA, observed Hit 3 as a “gritty, high-stakes thriller experience, powered by Nani’s commanding performance as SP Arjun Sarkaar.” According to the user, director Sailesh Kolanu successfully maintained a dark, intense atmosphere throughout the movie, while lauding its cinematography and background score noting that it adds moody texture.

“Nani’s portrayal of a relentless cop haunted by his past is the film’s strongest element, bringing both physical intensity and emotional complexity to the role,” the user noted.
SIIMA, however, claimed that the second half loses some momentum “due to a less compelling antagonist and occasional narrative dips.” The Climax too, the user says, lacks the shock factor or clever twist that could have elevated the story to the next level.
“Despite these shortcomings, HIT 3 stands out for its stylish execution and strong lead performance, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of crime thrillers and procedural dramas,” the reviewer wrote.
