HIT – The First Case is struggling at the box office, despite picking up pace on its second day. The Rajkummar Rao-Sanya Malhotra starrer had a sad start upon its release on July 15, and failed to leave a mark on its opening day.
HIT – The First Case collected a meagre Rs 1.35 crore on its first day. The movie, however, witnessed a 48.88 per cent jump on Saturday, earning Rs 2.01 crore, taking the total so far to Rs 3.36 crore. Sunday will decide the fate of the movie, as its upcoming week will depend on its Day 3 performance.

HIT, which stands for Homicide Intervention Team, follows the story of a cop Vikram Jaisingh (Rajkummarr Rao), who is on the trail of a missing woman while he struggles with mental health issues. HIT is a remake of the 2020 Telugu film of the same name and is directed by Sailesh Kolanu, who had also helmed the original.
Rajkummar Rao had earlier told PTI, “There are some scenes which are very intense in nature. So, that used to take some time to get out of it. It was not an easy film or an easy character to portray. But that’s what I enjoy when challenges are thrown at me. I get nervous and scared and that’s when I push myself. It was such a wonderfully etched-out character. It was something I hadn’t done earlier.”
