One of the users who watched the film in Dubai hailed the Stree actor's acting and wrote, " Just watched #HITTheFirstCase in Dubai. #FirstdayFirstShow @RajkummarRao hats off sir." Another user complimented the vision of the makers and wrote, "#HITTheFirstCase interval: Sabse badhia baat ye hai ki original movie ki serious tone yahan bhi barkarar hai.... (the serious tone of the film is maintained)" A third user hailed the film and confessed that this is one of the best 'thriller movie of recent times' that he has watched. "Saw the movie #HITTheFirstCase at @NovoCinemas in Doha. Awesome performance by @RajkummarRao. Good thriller movie in recent times. Keeps you engaged & involved throughout." Another netizen also lauded the film's story and wrote, " That's how you should remake an excellent crime thriller movie." 

The thrill aspect of HIT: The First Case can be compared to other nail-biting dramas like Drishyam which also maintains the suspense while leaving fans at the edge of their seat with the gripping storyline. HIT is a remake of Kolanu's 2020 Telugu crime investigative action thriller of the same name, starring Vishwak Sen and Ruhani Sharma. Kolanu said the film is a tribute to the police force and hence he felt it was necessary to glorify Rao's character a bit.
