    Raj Kumar Rao
    Rajkummar Rao's HIT is a big FLOP in the climax.

    HIT: The First Case (2022) : Movie Review -

    Rajkummar Rao has brought the first-ever suspense thriller of his career (lead role) called HIT: The First Case. Shailesh Kolanu has remodelled his own Telugu Thriller of the same name, assuming that the primary creator should be the one to recreate the portrait. HIT: The First Case is a simple copy-paste of the original Telugu flick, with one surprise change in the climax. It may work for some people, but some are entitled to bash it for valid reasons. I belong to the latter group. HIT almost hits it right until the unnecessarily advanced change in the climax, which certainly brings it one level down from the original thriller. A suspense thriller in the 2020s decade is meant to bring some old tricks to bear, be it any film, and HIT isn't anything different.

    Decent Thriller
    HIT is a well-made thriller that keeps you guessing till the end, a quality which today's whodunnits seem to have lost. The Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra-starrer is a throwback to old-school Bollywood thrillers that keep you glued to your seat throughout its 136-minute runtime.

    Director Sailesh Kolanu does well to build the ambience of a thriller, by slowly taking the audience into the dark world of twisted characters. He also tactfully infuses the personal story of his protagonist into the narrative, without deviating much from the core conflict of the film.

    The film's highlight and its biggest strength though is the performance of its lead actor - Rajkummar Rao. Rao has delivered a performance that's not only nuanced but also extremely refined. The varied emotions of loss, anger, grief, and frustration that he shows as Vikram tries to join the dots in this puzzle are simply amazing. Sanya Malhotra doesn't have much to offer as Neha. She goes missing half the time.

    Overall, HIT The First Case is a whodunnit story that will leave you guessing till the end. The build-up is impressive, the investigative part is mind-bending, and the performances are good. .

    Such a horrible plot
    The movie is so bad, dialogues are so childish. Actors have acted so horribly. Watched this movie for Rajkumar rao, but this is his worst work till date. This movie is almost funny rather than a thriller. Actors have not put in any efforts to act in this movie it seems. The plot changes after every 30 mins without any linkage for context. Watch this movie once to see how bad movies are made. Did not expect this from Rajkumar rao. Sanya malhotras character is very small in the movie. A dragged show which could have ended in 30 mins only. Cannot wait to watch how horribly part 2 will he shot. Omg 😳

    Remake of the 2020 film of the same name.
    Writing this review I'm truly flabbergasted as the amount of remakes Bollywood is churning out these days.

    This is a sophisticated suspense type thriller. The acting is very well done. The most notable actors are, in order of seniority, Dilip Tahil(Ram Lakhan 1989), Milind Gunaji(my favorite actor from the movie Virasat 1997) and lastly Rajkummar Rao(Aligarh 2015). The rest of the supporting cast acts well to compliment the lead actor played by Rajkummar Rao.

    The plot of the film consists about a cop whose girlfriend and colleague has mysteriously disappeared. He is at his wits end trying to trace her whereabouts when another similar missing woman case has come to his attention. Are these two cases linked? Watch the film to find out what happens next...

    Overall the script is terrific, taking into account it is a remake of the original successful Telegu movie. From experience the majority of south-Indian movies I have seen in my life have all been superb viewing experiences. Rarely have I been let down. The hindi version of the film is excellent, so if you haven't seen the original, you can watch it after this one.

    The natural photography, sound effects, investigative police-work and forensics portrayed in the film is realistic. I really enjoyed watching the film till the very end and it was well worth the time spent. I would whole-hardheartedly recommend to all those who love thrillers in general. You will not be disappointed.

    Some movie recommendations: Aitbaar(1985), Ratsasan(2018), Article 15(2019), Netrikann (2021), Cadaver(2022).

    Thank you for reading this review and may each and every moment of your life be filled with happiness.
