Hit 3

has managed to cross the Rs 40 crore mark in just three days, reaffirming his strong connect with audiences and his growing stature as one of Telugu cinema’s most bankable stars.

The film, which opened to much anticipation, registered an impressive Rs 21 crore on its opening day (Thursday). The lion’s share of this came from the Telugu version, contributing Rs 20.25 crore, while the Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, and Malayalam versions added modestly to the total. This opening day figure reflected Nani's solid fan base and the pre-release hype surrounding the project.

However, like most mid-week releases, the film witnessed a natural drop on its second day (Friday), collecting Rs 10.5 crore — marking a 50% dip from its opening. Despite this, the numbers remained steady and respectable, especially considering it was a working day. Once again, the Telugu version dominated collections, bringing in Rs 10 crore, with other versions maintaining their minor shares.
Saturday saw a slight improvement in occupancy and collections as early estimates suggested a Rs 10.25 crore haul. With positive word-of-mouth from audiences and favorable reviews highlighting Nani's performance and the film's emotional depth, the film has managed to maintain steady momentum over its first weekend.
In total, the film has amassed Rs 41.75 crore across three days, a commendable feat in the current competitive box office climate. With Sunday and the upcoming week expected to see further growth, especially in urban and family-centric circuits, trade analysts predict the film could comfortably breach the Rs 60 crore mark in its first week itself.The film has outperformed Nani’s last release Sarripoda Sanivaram which had earned Rs 24 crore in 3 days.
