Nani’s Telugu action drama “The Paradise” continued its strong run at the box office on its fourth day, collecting an India net of ₹15.70 crore and taking its total India net to ₹92.10 crore, with a worldwide gross of ₹138.25 crore.
The Day 4 figures, reported on September 28, mean the film has officially surpassed both the lifetime India net collection of “Dasara” (₹81.93 crore) and its estimated lifetime global collection (between ₹118.50 crore and ₹121 crore) — making “The Paradise” Nani’s highest-grossing film of all time in the domestic and international markets, just four days into its run.
Record opening for Nani
The film has set a new record for Nani’s biggest opening, surpassing his previous films “Hi Nanna” and “Dasara”. On Day 4, it earned the India net from 6,764 shows, with the India gross collection reaching ₹109.00 crore. The total overseas gross now stands at ₹29.25 crore.
Despite largely negative reviews, the film has drawn massive opening footfalls in both single screens and multiplexes, helped by an exceptionally wide release and enhanced ticket pricing.
Where the numbers came from
The principal drivers of the business are the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets, which contributed ₹14 crore on Day 4, followed by Karnataka (₹1.42 crore), Tamil Nadu (₹50 lakh) and Kerala (₹8 lakh). Additional revenue came from the rest of India, amounting to about ₹2.50 crore, as per Sacnilk figures. The Day 4 India gross totalled ₹18.50 crore.
Outpacing ‘Dasara’
The comparison with “Dasara”, Srikanth Odela’s 2023 directorial debut co-starring Keerthy Suresh, is striking. That film opened against competition from Ranbir Kapoor’s “Animal” but relied on strong word-of-mouth, finishing its four-day opening weekend at a ₹87 crore worldwide gross. “The Paradise”, powered by pre-release hype, has accumulated nearly double that amount globally (₹138.25 crore) in the same timeframe.
In contrast, Nani’s “Hi Nanna” completed its lifetime run at around ₹75.35 crore globally and ₹60 crore domestically. As “The Paradise” enters its first Monday, all eyes are on how it holds during weekday business.
