Nani’s latest action drama The Paradise has opened to a massive worldwide response, grossing more than Rs. 88 crore on Day 1. According to the official figures released by the makers, the total combines the film’s Wednesday premiere collections with Thursday’s full-day earnings across all territories.
The impressive opening marks a new career milestone for Nani, with The Paradise recording the biggest Day 1 opening of his career so far. The film also reunites the actor with director Srikanth Odela following their previous collaboration, adding to the anticipation surrounding the project.
The film witnessed strong audience turnout from the morning shows. Theatres across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh reported packed houses for much of the day, while overseas markets and other language circuits also recorded steady footfall. The Hindi and Tamil versions have contributed to the film’s wider theatrical reach.
The film’s setting and Nani’s performance appear to have helped drive the early response at the ticket counters. While dubbed versions outside the Telugu-speaking states can sometimes take time to build momentum, The Paradise has reportedly found a steady audience from the beginning.
With advance bookings continuing to show healthy trends and the weekend now underway, the makers will be looking to sustain the strong momentum established on the opening day.
The next three days will be crucial for The Paradise as the film aims to build on its career-best start and maintain its momentum at the worldwide box office.
