‘The Paradise’ BO day 3 [LIVE]: Nani’s film shows steady growth

After actor Nani acknowledged the flaws in his latest film, The Paradise, the film's reviews and ratings mysteriously vanished from the ticketing platform BookMyShow. The platform replaced the previously active rating section with a message stating "Rating & Review Disabled." The makers of The Paradise received a separate court order protecting them from defamatory content about the film.

Nani's acknowledgment of the film's shortcomings was met with a mix of love and criticism from audiences. Some expressed gratitude for the honest feedback, while others were sharply critical of the film's repetitive second half, weak heroine track, underutilized supporting cast, and anticlimactic climax. The platform's decision to disable reviews came during a period when the film was receiving significant negative feedback.

Before the removal, the audience score on BookMyShow had already reflected the sentiment, with multiple reviewers rating the film between 2 and 2.75 out of 5. The Paradise's opening was the biggest of Nani's career, but it dropped 57 percent on the second day, collecting Rs 14.90 crore net. Worldwide, the film has grossed Rs 98.50 crore after two days.
