Nani’s latest release, The Paradise, has managed to maintain a relatively steady pace at the box office on its second day despite receiving largely negative talk after its theatrical release. Big-ticket films often experience a sharp decline when audience response turns unfavorable, but the Nani starrer has avoided a complete crash.
According to trade reports, The Paradise collected more than Rs. 20 crore gross worldwide on its second day. The figure has come on a non-holiday, making the film’s Day 2 performance an important indicator of its ability to sustain some momentum after its massive opening.
Nani has built a strong reputation among audiences over the years through his consistent performances and film choices. The steady response for The Paradise despite the mixed word of mouth is being viewed as another indication of the market and audience base he has developed over time.
The Nizam region, in particular, has shown a solid hold. The film’s Telangana setting appears to have connected with audiences in the region, helping it maintain decent theatrical momentum even after the initial opening-day rush.
With the weekend now underway, The Paradise is expected to record respectable numbers in the Telugu states. The performance on Saturday and Sunday will be crucial in determining whether the film can sustain its Day 2 trend and strengthen its overall theatrical run.
The film’s current performance also highlights the importance of audience reception after the opening day. While the initial buzz helped The Paradise secure a massive start, stronger word of mouth could potentially have given the film an even bigger opportunity at the box office.
Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise features Nani in the lead and is backed by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner.
For now, the film has managed to avoid the sharp second-day crash that is often seen with films facing strong negative talk. Its weekend performance will offer a clearer picture of how far The Paradise can take its theatrical journey.
