‘Very disappointing’: Mahesh Babu’s son Gautam slams Nani-starrer The Paradise

Mahesh Babu's son Gautam Ghattamaneni has harshly reviewed Nani's film The Paradise, describing it as "very disappointing." On Letterboxd, he awarded the movie a one-star rating, praising the cinematography and emotional performances but criticizing the editing as "atrocious." Gautam's critical assessment of Yash's Toxic earlier this year also garnered significant attention.

He has previously given his father Mahesh Babu's films Pokiri and 1: Nenokkadine five-star ratings, but has rated other works lower. After his critical reviews went viral, Gautam briefly removed his Letterboxd profile but has since reinstated it with a playful message. The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, starred Nani, Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Sonali Kulkarni, and Raghav Juyal.

Despite a sizable budget of Rs 200 crore, the Telugu action drama reportedly earned only Rs 173.92 crore worldwide, making it a commercial failure. The film is now available on Netflix.
