Three exciting films, Hit 3, Retro, and Raid 2, were released yesterday on the occasion of May Day. These films generated very good hype and expectations before their release, and netizens anticipated them to open big as well. But, shockingly, Hit 3 opened bigger than the other films.
Hit 3 starring Nani opened with nearly 38 crores worldwide, beating Retro, which opened with 32.5 crores, and Raid 2 with 26 crores. This is indeed a resounding achievement for Nani and Hit 3. No one expected Hit 3 to open this big despite having great buzz. The film also became Nani’s career biggest opener, beating his previous film, Dasara.
On the other hand, Retro also gave Suriya a big opening, but more was expected. The film couldn’t beat his previous best, Kanguva, worldwide. However, the Tamil Nadu Gross took a solid opening, making it Suriya’s best.
Raid 2, the sequel to the blockbuster hit Raid, managed to open well. It also acquired good reviews, and the film’s performance now lies in the weekend numbers. It has to be seen if it crosses the numbers of its prequel in the final run.
Hit 3 has also provided a great relief to the Telugu States Theatre management, who have tasted bitter results with the recent flop films. The film is also expected to post big numbers in its final run if the same momentum continues.
