Nobody expected The Paradise to sail through. Post-preview reports were rough, and a crash looked possible. Instead, Nani’s film held up decently and crossed ₹131 crore worldwide in its extended four-day weekend. It’s a relief, but the hard part is still ahead.

Where the Money Came From?

Directed by Srikanth Odela and starring Nani with Raghav Juyal, the film earned about ₹103.25 crore gross in India. Sunday added roughly ₹18.75 crore. Overseas markets brought in USD 2.925 million (about ₹27.75 crore).

Region	Gross
AP/TS (home markets)	₹80.50 cr
Karnataka	₹9.75 cr
Rest of India	₹9.00 cr
Tamil Nadu + Kerala	₹4.00 cr
India total	₹103.25 cr
North America	USD 2.0 million
Rest of world	USD 0.925 million
Worldwide	₹131 cr

The Paradise: The Home Turf Advantage

The Telugu states did the heavy lifting. Nizam alone contributed about ₹46.25 crore, Andhra added ₹25.75 crore, and Ceded ₹8.50 crore. North America made up most of the overseas total, so the film is clearly connecting with Telugu audiences at home and abroad.

What Happens Next?

Extended openings can flatter a film, and weekday drops tell the real story. To reach a respectable final total, The Paradise needs strong legs over the coming days. For now the hold is decent, which is better than many feared, but it hasn’t guaranteed anything yet.
