The Nani‑starrer ‘The Paradise’ earned a total of ₹109 crore across India in its first weekend, recovering more than 80% of its production cost and marking the actor’s best Hindi‑Tamil box‑office performance.
The latest release starring Nani, titled ‘The Paradise’, registered a cumulative domestic gross of ₹109 crore during its opening weekend, according to trade data. The figure combines earnings from its Hindi, Tamil and other regional versions and represents a recovery of over 80% of the film’s estimated production outlay.
Industry analysts noted that the weekend performance places ‘The Paradise’ among the most successful multi‑lingual launches of the year, surpassing the opening collections of Nani’s recent films in the Hindi and Tamil markets. The strong turnout is attributed to wide screen coverage, aggressive promotional activities and positive word‑of‑mouth among urban audiences.
The film’s distributors have expressed confidence that the momentum will sustain in the coming weeks, potentially pushing the total Indian gross beyond the ₹150‑cr mark. The robust opening also underscores the growing acceptance of South Indian stars in the Hindi‑speaking belt, a trend that could influence future production and release strategies.
