Nani’s latest release The Paradise has opened amid massive anticipation, and the film is already making waves with its impressive advance bookings. After securing the sixth position in BookMyShow’s pre-sales data, the film has now achieved another major milestone.
The Paradise has crossed 1.8 million tickets in total pre-sales across BookMyShow and District. According to the reported figures, this makes it the highest pre-sales total recorded by any movie released in 2026 so far, putting the Nani starrer ahead of several major releases this year.
The momentum is continuing even after the film’s theatrical release. The Paradise is currently recording around 24,000 tickets per hour on BookMyShow, marking the highest hourly booking rate achieved by the film to date.
With additional shows and booking windows expected to open, the hourly booking rate could increase further in the coming hours. The strong advance response has added considerable momentum to the film’s theatrical run.
Given the scale of its pre-sales, The Paradise is now heading toward a strong opening at the box office. The film could also go on to mark another significant theatrical milestone in Nani’s career.
Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise is produced by SLV Cinemas. With the film already setting a new 2026 pre-sales benchmark, all eyes are now on its opening-day performance and the response from audiences.
