Natural Star Nani has made a powerful start at the box office with his latest action drama The Paradise. The film has reportedly collected over Rs 88 crore gross worldwide on Day 1, marking the biggest opening day of Nani’s career. The figures released by the makers include Wednesday’s premiere collections along with Thursday’s full-day theatrical business across various territories.
Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise marks the reunion of the actor-director duo after their previous collaboration. The film witnessed strong audience turnout from the early morning shows, particularly across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, where several theatres reported packed houses. The movie also recorded steady business in overseas markets and other language versions, including Hindi and Tamil.
Nani’s performance, the film’s intense action backdrop and the overall scale of the project appear to have contributed to its strong opening. While dubbed versions generally take some time to gain momentum outside the Telugu states, The Paradise has managed to register a noticeable start across multiple markets.
With the weekend now underway and advance bookings continuing to show positive signs, the film’s Day 2 and weekend collections will be closely watched. If the momentum continues, The Paradise could add significantly to its opening-day tally over the next few days.
