Critical response

Chirag Sehgal of 'News 18' rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Rajkummar Rao shines bright in the movie. The film also looks very similar to Kunal Kemmu's web series Abhay". A critic for 'Bollywood Hungama' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "HIT THE FIRST CASE is a decent watch thanks to a superlative performance, whodunit element and a story". Shubham Kulkarni of 'Koimoi' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Rajkummar Rao needs his glory back where the entire movie somehow complimented his talent and hardwork. This is not it but is not entirely bad either". Tushar Joshi of 'India Today' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "If you are looking for a solid performance from Rajkummar Rao, then HIT won't disappoint. It is gripping in parts but we hoped the writers had put in more efforts to go beyond just remaking another south film". Renuka Vyavahare of 'The Times of India' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Rajkummar Rao lends gravitas to the dawdling crime mystery. He has the ability to elevate a scrambled script and he does that here as well. He ensures you are on his team despite the misfires. HIT is more of a hit-and-miss" Sukanya Verma of 'Rediff.com' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "HIT: The First Case hits the jackpot with Rajkummar Rao.Nothing escapes his discerning eye. Nothing comes in our way of admiring it". Devesh Sharma of 'Filmfare' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Rajkumar Rao is the best thing about the film and keeps you invested in the project through sheer dint of effort". A critic for 'Pinkvilla' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "HIT: The First Case hits the bulls eye in the first half, but falls flat in the second. It's an honest attempt to bring the thriller for the Hindi audience".
