Nani’s latest blockbuster crosses the 150‑crore threshold in four days, with overseas earnings pushing the worldwide tally toward 155 crore.
Nani’s new film, The Paradise, has vaulted past the ₹150 crore milestone in just four days of release. Trade trackers say the movie’s net domestic earnings have topped ₹94 crore, while overseas receipts add another ₹29 crore, taking the worldwide total to roughly ₹155 crore.
The opening day alone fetched a hefty ₹35 crore, followed by ₹15 crore on the second, ₹15.5 crore on the third, and ₹19 crore on the fourth. Those figures have already covered about 85 percent of the film’s theatrical cost, according to industry analysts.
Beyond India, the picture is holding its own. In North America – the United States and Canada combined – it has pulled in close to $2 million, a figure that translates to roughly ₹13 crore. The United Kingdom contributed about £2.36 lakh, while Australia added $200,000. Adding up all overseas markets, the film has generated roughly $3 million, or ₹29 crore, in foreign currency.
In the home market, the film’s reach is impressive. It is playing on more than 800 screens across roughly 700 locations, with a total of 1,700 shows scheduled for the fifth day. Early reports suggest a 20 percent occupancy rate on Monday, with night‑time shows expected to draw larger crowds. If that trend holds, day‑five could add another ₹4‑5 crore domestically and about ₹7 crore globally.
Regional breakdowns show the film’s strength in Telugu‑speaking states. In the Nizam region alone, collections topped ₹34 crore, while Andhra Pradesh districts such as East and West Godavari, Guntur, and Krishna contributed several crores each. Tamil Nadu added over ₹4 crore, Karnataka about ₹11 crore, and Kerala around ₹75 lakh. North Indian territories chipped in another ₹10 crore.
Analysts argue that the real profit driver will be the post‑weekend surge. With the film already in the 150‑crore club, the next target is the coveted ₹200 crore bracket. If day‑five and the following weekdays maintain the current pace, crossing that line looks plausible.
The buzz on social platforms mirrors the box‑office numbers. Fans are cheering the strong start, while curious viewers from abroad are asking about dubbed releases. The film’s producers have yet to confirm any further language versions.
All eyes now turn to the weekend ahead. A solid Friday‑Saturday‑Sunday could cement The Paradise’s status as one of the year’s biggest regional successes and push it firmly into the ₹200 crore conversation.
