Natural Star Nani’s The Paradise opened mostly to negative reviews from critics. The film, directed by Srikanth Odela, was made on a whopping budget, and at the box office, it opened to superb numbers.
In North America, which is usually the forte of Nani, the film raked in around $1.42 million from its premiere shows, making it the second-biggest of the year. Initially, there was hope that The Paradise would go past Peddi and become the biggest premiere of 2026, but bad reports kept it down.
Nonetheless, it is a fantastic opening once again, showing why Nani is hailed as one of the favorites of overseas audiences. The Paradise is also Nani’s biggest opener in North America. It remains to be seen how the action drama fares from here on in this territory.
