Nani's The Paradise has made a stellar debut at the Indian box office, marking the actor's highest opening day earnings to date. The action drama, directed by Srikanth Odela, premiered in theaters on Thursday after receiving paid preview screenings on Wednesday. According to trade figures, the film generated Rs 34.65 crore (Rs 346.5 million) net in India on its first day, bringing its India gross to Rs 54.90 crore (Rs 549 million) when including preview show revenues.
Overseas, The Paradise earned approximately Rs 22 crore (Rs 220 million), bringing the total opening-day gross to Rs 76.90 crore (Rs 769 million). The movie achieved around 47% occupancy across 9,732 shows, with Telugu audiences driving the largest share, followed by Hindi-speaking regions. Tamil screenings, however, generated the least revenue.
This impressive opening surpasses Nani's previous film openings, with HIT: The Third Case earning Rs 21 crore (Rs 210 million) on its debut day and Dasara collecting Rs 23.20 crore (Rs 232 million). The film's momentum will likely continue as Friday and the weekend unfold, with strong weekend collections potentially further boosting its overall theatrical performance.
