The Paradise has become Nani’s first film to cross the 100-crore gross mark in Telugu states — Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, after ten days of release, marking a significant milestone in his career. The action thriller earned 2 crore on day 10, a 28.57% decline from day 9’s 2.8 crore, but still maintained a decent hold at the box office. The film has grossed 133.34 crore worldwide, with 113 crore net. Of that total, 102.5 crore came specifically from the Telugu-speaking regions, making it Nani’s highest-grossing film in those states by a wide margin. It outperforms HIT: The Third Case, which grossed 71.73 crore, by 42.9%. The film is directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri and Ishan Saksena under the banners of Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara Cinemas and IVY Entertainment. Key cast members include Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Sonali Kulkarni, and Raghav Juyal. According to trade reports, the film was made on a budget of 200 crore. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 7.1 out of 10. While the domestic performance is considered below par the Telugu state numbers represent a breakthrough for Nani, who has long been seen as a reliable performer without a major regional blockbuster to his name. The film’s international rollout has not fared well. Koimoi reported it turned out to be a major disappointment in North America. Still, within its core market, The Paradise is now a landmark film. Its success signals a shift in Nani’s trajectory, proving he can carry a high-stakes action thriller to commercial success in the Telugu heartland. The next phase will depend on whether this momentum translates into wider appeal or remains confined to the region. No new release dates have been announced for international markets, though fans in Mexico are already asking when the film will be available in Spanish. For now, the focus stays on the Telugu states, and the quiet triumph of a star finally hitting his stride.
