The Telugu star Nani’s latest film, ‘The Paradise’, has crossed the ₹50 crore mark within its second day of release, marking the highest opening collection of his career.
‘The Paradise’, starring Nani, opened to strong numbers on its first day, setting a high benchmark for the film’s run. By the close of the second day, the movie’s worldwide gross had surpassed the ₹50 crore milestone, a record for the actor’s career.
The film’s success is attributed to a combination of Nani’s star power, a compelling storyline, and a well‑timed release that capitalised on holiday weekend footfall. Distributors and exhibitors have noted the film’s robust word‑of‑mouth, which has helped sustain its momentum across multiplexes and single screens.
Box‑office analysts predict that ‘The Paradise’ could continue its upward trajectory, potentially reaching the ₹1‑billion mark if it maintains its current pace. The production house has already announced plans for a wider release in international markets.
Industry insiders say the film’s performance underscores Nani’s growing appeal beyond regional audiences, positioning him as a bankable star in the contemporary Telugu cinema landscape.
The film’s marketing team has leveraged social media buzz and strategic promotional events to keep audiences engaged, ensuring that the buzz generated on day one carries over into the second day and beyond.
