The Paradise had its share of last-minute tensions and followed an unconventional promotional route, but the film has built considerable buzz ahead of its release. Nani’s star power, coupled with his reunion with Dasara director Srikanth Odela, has played a major role in driving anticipation.
That excitement is now reflecting in Hyderabad’s premiere bookings. Despite the ticket price hikes, the film is witnessing a strong rush across several major theatres. AMB Cinemas has sold out all 8 shows, while AAA Cinemas has 4 shows either sold out or filling fast. Prasads has 6 shows reporting sold-out or fast-filling status, and INOX Ashoka has 5 shows seeing similar demand. PVR Nexus, PVR Central and PVR Icon are also witnessing rapid bookings.
The demand extends to Bhramaramba, Mallikarjuna and the X Roads theatres, adding to the growing premiere buzz across the city. With multiple shows lined up tonight, The Paradise is heading into its premieres on the back of strong advance sales.
The numbers have set the stage for a potentially big opening, but the crucial factor now is the premiere response. If the film connects with audiences, the strong advance momentum could translate into substantial box-office numbers.
