The Paradise is the latest Telugu release, and while the film received mixed reactions from audiences and critics, its box-office performance has been strong. The focus now shifts to the Karnataka market, where the Nani-starrer has delivered an impressive opening.
The film collected Rs. 2.06 crore gross from the premieres in Karnataka and another Rs. 4.12 crore on day 1, taking the total to Rs. 6.18 crore. This is a career-best opening for Nani in the Karnataka region by a huge margin.
The day 2 bookings are also looking healthy, with the hourly trends showing good momentum. If the current pace continues, the film is expected to see its Karnataka collections grow further over the weekend.
Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise stars Kayadu Lohar as the female lead, while Mohan Babu plays the antagonist. Raghav Juyal, Sonali Kulkarni, Sampoornesh Babu, and others are also part of the cast. Produced by SLV Cinemas, the film has music by Anirudh Ravichander.
