Nani’s latest action drama, The Paradise, opened to massive numbers worldwide, collecting over Rs 88 crore gross on day one. The official figures, shared by the makers, combine Wednesday premiere earnings with Thursday’s full-day ticket sales across all territories.
The total sets a personal milestone for Nani, marking the biggest day-one opening of his career so far. The film reunites the actor with director Srikanth Odela, and early theatre response shows audiences turned up right from the morning shows. Theatres across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh reported packed houses through most of the day, with steady turnout in overseas circuits and other language markets, including Hindi and Tamil.
The story backdrop and Nani’s performance drove early momentum at the ticket windows. Outside the Telugu states, dubbed versions often take a day or two to build traction, but The Paradise found stable ground from the start.
With advance bookings showing healthy trends and the weekend kicking in, the team will expect these numbers to hold over the next three days.
