Summary
- The Paradise achieved the biggest opening day in Nani's career.
- The film grossed Rs 76.90 crore worldwide on its first day.
- Nani's previous record-holder was HIT: The Third Case, with Rs 37.81 crore.
Nani's highly anticipated film, The Paradise, has achieved a monumental box office success, marking the biggest opening day in the actor's career. Directed by Srikanth Odela, the action drama garnered Rs 76.90 crore globally on its debut. In India, the film collected Rs 34.65 crore nett from 9,732 shows, with an India gross of Rs 54.90 crore including preview revenue.
Overseas markets contributed an additional Rs 22 crore in gross collections. This performance far exceeds Nani's previous record, HIT: The Third Case, which opened to Rs 21 crore nett in India and Rs 37.81 crore worldwide in 2025. Other recent Nani releases, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram and Dasara, also saw lower opening day collections compared to The Paradise.
The film's strong opening also places it favorably against other major Telugu releases. While Prabhas' The Raja Saab and Ram Charan's Peddi had larger opening days, The Paradise has outperformed Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. The movie is set in 1980s Secunderabad and explores themes of marginalization and feudal oppression, with Nani playing a physically demanding role.
