The Telugu film Paradise has crossed the Rs 139 crore mark worldwide by its fourth day, becoming actor Nani's highest‑earning movie to date.
The Telugu romantic‑drama Paradise, starring Nani, has achieved a milestone by earning Rs 139 crore worldwide by the end of its fourth day in theatres. The film’s domestic collections alone surpassed the Rs 100 crore threshold, while overseas earnings contributed an additional Rs 39 crore.
This figure eclipses all of Nani’s previous releases, making Paradise his highest‑grossing film ever. The movie was launched on 20 September 2023 and has been screened in over 2,000 screens across India, with a strong opening in the Telugu‑speaking states.
Industry analysts note that the film’s success is driven by its blend of romance, action and a strong supporting cast, as well as positive word‑of‑mouth among younger audiences. The director’s previous work has also helped build anticipation.
Box‑office trackers predict that Paradise could cross the Rs 150 crore mark in the coming weeks if it maintains its current trajectory. The film’s producers have already announced plans for a possible sequel, citing the robust response from audiences.
With this achievement, Nani’s career trajectory continues to ascend, positioning him as one of the most bankable stars in South Indian cinema.
