What happens

HIT: The First Case is a 2020 Indian Telugu-language crime thriller film written and directed by debutant Sailesh Kolanu. Produced by Wall Poster Cinema, it is the first film in the HIT film series. The film stars Vishwak Sen and Ruhani Sharma. In the film, a police officer in the Telangana state's Homicide Intervention Team (HIT) is tasked with investigating the case of an 18-year old missing girl. The First Case was released theatrically on 28 February 2020 to positive reviews from audience and critics, and became a commercial success at the box office. Sailesh Kolanu also helmed the Hindi remake of the film with the same title, and was released on 15 June 2022. Later, two standalone sequels of the original film called HIT: The Second Case and HIT: The Third Case, were released respectively in 2022 and 2025. The films collectively form the HIT Universe.
