The Paradise box office report

Hype for The Paradise was huge, as seen with its opening day and preview results. The film brought in ₹11.60 crore from evening premieres alone on Thursday and ₹34.65 crore on Friday, its opening day. The film registered a ₹46.25 crore opening, the highest in Nani's career. On Friday, the film saw a shocking dip, collecting ₹14.90 crore. The film showed momentum on Saturday, collecting ₹15.25 crore.

As per the latest update on Sacnilk, The Paradise has managed to collect ₹10.05 crore by 6 PM. This is a good number, which shows that the film has performed well on its first Sunday. It remains to be seen whether the film improves with the evening shows and manages to recover well tonight. This takes the total collection in India to ₹86.45 crore.

The Paradise has been released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, and as expected the bulk of the earnings have come from the Telugu version only. On Sunday, the film collected ₹8.82 crore from the Telugu version itself.

About The Paradise

The Paradise is directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri and Ishan Saksena, under Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara Cinemas and IVY Entertainment. It stars Nani, Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Sonali Kulkarni and Raghav Juyal in lead roles. It tells the story of a tribe called the Savaari fighting for citizenship during the 1980s.

Sonali plays their leader, Sammakka, and Nani plays her son, Jadal. Mohan Babu plays a feudal overlord named Shikanja Malik, and Raghav plays his son, Vikram Malik. The film sees Sammakka and Jadal clash not just with Shikanja and Vikram, but also with the system that refuses to recognise them legally despite their contributions.

However, the film was criticised for banking on the same saviour trope as most recent films and its shoddy writing. Nani acknowledged this in an X (formerly Twitter) post, writing, “I have seen all your reactions and responses. I’ve received all your love and equally enjoyed your hilarious trolls. I’m heartwarmed by the way audience have owned the film, and also learnt from the flaws that critics and reviewers have pointed out.”
