The Paradise box office collection day 6 : Nani’s The Paradis e released in theatres last week and took a rocking start at the box office despite abysmal reviews. On weekdays the film dipped, but by Tuesday it managed to cross ₹ 100 crore mark. The mass action entertainer has registered the biggest opening of Nani ’s career, and that too, by a distance.
The Paradise has been released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, and as expected the bulk of the earnings have come from the Telugu version only. This is the first film of Nani to have crossed the ₹ 100 crore mark in India.
Earlier, HIT The third case and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram came close to the century mark but did not reach it.
All about the film
The Paradise brought in ₹ 11.60 crore from evening premieres alone on Thursday and ₹ 34.65 crore on Friday, its opening day. The film registered a ₹ 46.25 crore opening, the highest in Nani’s career. On Friday, the film saw a shocking dip, collecting ₹ 14.90 crore. The film showed momentum on Saturday, collecting ₹ 15.25 crore. Sunday was steady at ₹ 15.70 crore. The sharpest dip took place on Monday with the film minting ₹ 5 crore. Nani added, “Out of 33 films I made in my 18 years of career, this is the first time I am experiencing something like this.
Sonali plays their leader, Sammakka, and Nani plays her son, Jadal. Mohan Babu plays a feudal overlord named Shikanja Malik, and Raghav plays his son, Vikram Malik. The film sees Sammakka and Jadal clash not just with Shikanja and Vikram, but also with the system that refuses to recognise them legally despite their contributions. The actor spoke about the extreme reactions on social media, highlighting how some people were praising the film while others were deeply disappointed. That is also positive in a way.”
But even when someone says they didn’t like the film, there is a passion behind that response, an aggressive honesty. When someone says ‘this didn’t work for me’ with that kind of intensity, it tells you something.
