Nani's The Paradise Shatters Records, Beats Pushpa 2

Nani's film, The Paradise, has achieved a spectacular opening at the Indian box office, grossing over 11 crore net from its premiere shows. This impressive performance positions it as the fourth highest-grossing Tollywood premiere of all time in India, outperforming established blockbusters.

The film's success is attributed to strong pre-sales, fueled by Nani's enduring popularity with audiences. Despite potential long-term impact from word-of-mouth, the initial reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with high occupancy rates contributing to its record-breaking start.

This marks Nani's most significant theatrical debut and represents his most expensive film yet, produced by Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara Cinemas and IVY Entertainment. The movie is also director Srikanth Odela's second collaboration with Nani.
