Release and reception
The Hitlist was released in theatres on 7 December 2012.[6] A critic from Indiaglitz rated the film 5+1⁄2 in a scale of 10 and wrote that the film is "a hotch-potch of many Hollywood thrillers and more faithful replica of Jason Statham's Blitz, it "may partially satisfy the demands of the die hard fans of action films". While the cinematography and Dhruv's acting was praised, screenplay and Bala's unconvincing portrayal of the lead role was criticised.[7] A critic from Nowrunning wrote that "The shambling plot in 'Hitlist' sees to it that the film remains a tedious shoot-them-all flick. It's very unlikely that you might get a few kicks out of it".[8]
