The Paradise hits ₹150 crore worldwide on day four

Nani‑Srikanth Odela’s Telugu blockbuster is on track to cross ₹150 crore worldwide, buoyed by strong overseas earnings and hefty premium‑ticket revenue.

The fourth day of The Paradise’s theatrical run is shaping up to be a milestone. After a roaring opening that pulled in roughly ₹41 crore, the film added another ₹18 crore on each of the next two days. Trade trackers say the premium‑ticket segment alone has already crossed the ₹14 crore barrier, a figure that alone pushes the worldwide gross past the coveted ₹150 crore line.

And the numbers aren’t just coming from the Telugu heartland. The film’s footprint stretches across the sub‑continent – about ₹70 crore from the home market, ₹3.5 crore in Tamil Nadu, ₹9 crore from Karnataka, a modest ₹70 lakh from Kerala and another ₹8 crore from Hindi‑speaking regions. Those domestic figures, combined with a reported ₹20 crore from North‑India overseas collections and roughly ₹10 crore from the rest of the world, bring the total to a solid ₹120 crore according to trade sources. The producer, however, claims the film has already breached the ₹136 crore mark.

But the real story lies in the occupancy and screen count. The Paradise is running on close to 900 screens across more than 800 locations, with over 2,000 daily shows. Occupancy hovers around the 50 % mark – a respectable figure for a film that’s still in its first week. By noon on day four, the box office was already ticking over ₹7 crore, and analysts project a final day‑four haul of somewhere between ₹18 and ₹20 crore.

So, with the day‑four earnings added, the film is poised to cross the ₹150 crore milestone, a benchmark that few Telugu releases achieve so quickly. The budget, reported at roughly ₹120 crore, means the movie is already on the path to profitability, especially when you factor in satellite and digital rights that usually follow a strong theatrical run.

Box office breakdown

Day‑one: ₹41 crore
Day‑two: ₹18 crore
Day‑three: ₹18 crore
Premium tickets: >₹14 crore total
Domestic total (incl. Premium): ~₹90 crore
Overseas: ~₹30 crore (North India $2 m, rest $1 m)
State‑wise share: Telangana & Andhra ~₹70 crore, Tamil Nadu ~₹3.5 crore, Karnataka ~₹9 crore, Kerala ~₹0.7 crore, Hindi belt ~₹8 crore
Projected day‑four: ₹18‑20 crore

The numbers underline a pattern that’s becoming familiar for big‑budget Telugu ventures: a massive opening, strong premium‑ticket performance, and a steady trickle from overseas markets. If the film maintains its current screen count and occupancy, the next weekend could see it inching toward the ₹200 crore club, a figure that would cement its status as one of the year’s biggest commercial successes.

And with the weekend looming, distributors will be watching the occupancy trends closely. A dip could slow the climb, while a surge – perhaps sparked by word‑of‑mouth or a fresh promotional push – could catapult the film into the upper echelons of Telugu box‑office history.

The Paradise, directed by KTR, has already set a record for premium‑ticket collections in the Telugu states, and its momentum shows no sign of waning. All eyes now turn to the coming days – will the film break the ₹200 crore barrier, or will it settle comfortably just shy of it? Only the next box‑office reports will tell.
