HIT The First Case box office collection Day 2: Rajkummar Rao film underperforms despite upswing, earns Rs 3.36 cr

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh revealed the numbers on Twitter. He wrote, “#HIT: #TheFirstCase witnesses an upward trend on Day 2 [growth: 48.88%], although the 2-day total remains low… Biz needs to accelerate on Day 3 as well… Multiplexes continue to be its key contributors… Fri 1.35 cr, Sat 2.01 cr. Total: ₹ 3.36 cr. #India biz.”

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.”
