Also, there is a scene where Vikram gets miffed by the shoddy work of a sketch artist. There is a scene where a suspect is mocked for doubling up as moral police. Another surprising aspect is that the film gives clues in the least expected places (the fragrance of an Atthar forms a main lead in the investigation).ĭespite having a lot of characters, the screenplay doesn’t overpopulate itself with twists, and amidst the procedural, the narrative also makes room for subtle, free-flowing humour. As Vikram rounds off multiple suspects, the screenplay raises more tension through suspicion. For instance, take the scene where the prime suspect of Preethi’s case, despite proving her innocence, admits to leaving a threatening note to her family. The red herrings work too, but some of them feel a bit less believable. Vikram’s intelligence is effectively established where he deducts an unsolvable crime with the presence of wildflowers in the yard. For instance, the tragic backstory is used as a lead to the sequel. Accompanying Vikram is his deputy Rohith, who has his own personal battles.ĭespite the generic characterization of Vikram, the film manages to turn its cliches over the head. In his pursuit to nab Preethi’s kidnapper, Vikram uncovers many uncomfortable truths that lead to the culprit. Vikram gets a devastating shock when Neha gets kidnapped by unknown miscreants, and finds out that this case is connected to the abduction of another woman named Preethi. Despite repeated requests by his girlfriend and forensic analyst Neha (Ruhani Sharma) to leave his job, Vikram doesn’t pay heed as he feels that work is his only respite from the demons of his past. Vikram (Sen), a cop with an uncannily higher sense of smell, works at the Homicide Intervention Team (HIT) division of Hyderabad police, battles with PTSD after witnessing the gruesome death of his sister Sushmitha. Produced by Prashanthi Tipirneni, HIT is presented by ‘Natural Star’ Nani. HIT also stars Ruhani Sharma, Mohan Sharma, Bhanu Chander in important roles. Debutant director Sailesh Kolanu has helmed ‘Falaknuma Das’ fame Vishwak Sen in the crime-thriller HIT.
