Gorgeous, pulse-raising procedural thriller adds momentum to the HIT franchise

Deccan Chronicle  

Direction: Sailesh Kolanu Cinematography: S Mani Kandan Music: MM Sreelekha, Suresh Bobbilli, John Stewart Eduri Editor: Garry BH Cast: Adivi Sesh, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Komalee Prasad, Rao Ramesh, Posani Krishna Murali, Srinath Maganti, Harsha Vardhan HIT 2 is a significant improvement over its predecessor HIT, but buckles under the pressure of its ambitious set up by the time the mystery unravels. Netflix struck gold with its depiction of serial killers with shows like “Mindhuter” and “Dahmer” – based on real-world serial killers – meant to investigate the inner world of a person. The “serial killer genre” doesn’t exist by itself, but has wildly exploded across multiple formats as a genre with a captive audience hungry for more. The “HIT Franchise” plays out along similar lines as these are part social commentary, and part edge-of-the-seat potboilers — with the stories at their heart drawing inspiration from real life crimes and the chaos that come with the attention that horrifying events like these attract.
