Natural Star Nani’s latest release, The Paradise, has made a powerful start at the worldwide box office. The action drama arrived in theatres amid considerable anticipation, with the film generating strong buzz from the very beginning of its promotional campaign.
The first glimpse of The Paradise surprised audiences with its intense presentation and high-impact visuals, creating curiosity around the project. The promotional material that followed continued to build momentum, keeping the film in the spotlight ahead of its theatrical release.
According to early estimates, The Paradise has collected more than Rs. 75 crore gross worldwide on its opening day, including premiere shows. If the estimates hold, this would mark the biggest opening ever for a Nani starrer, representing a significant milestone in the actor’s career.
The reported opening also puts The Paradise in the range of openings recorded by several films led by Tier-1 stars. The numbers highlight the scale of anticipation surrounding Nani and the growth of his market over the years.
Interestingly, The Paradise has reportedly delivered nearly double the opening of Dasara, Nani’s previous collaboration with director Srikanth Odela. The latest film has witnessed particularly strong performance in the Telangana region, where theatres have recorded excellent occupancy.
The strong opening has come despite mixed reports surrounding the film. Audience turnout remained impressive across several locations, with the Telangana market emerging as one of the major contributors to the film’s Day 1 performance.
Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise marks another collaboration between the filmmaker and Nani following Dasara. With the film recording a career-best opening according to early estimates, attention is now on how well it sustains the momentum over the weekend.
As the official box-office figures are awaited, the reported Day 1 numbers have already established The Paradise as one of the biggest theatrical openings of Nani’s career.
