Nani's Telugu big-budget action drama "The Paradise" fared well at the box office on Day 4, earning an India net of ₹15.70 crore from 6,764 shows, with India gross collection reaching ₹109.00 crore. This takes the India net total to ₹92.10 crore so far. With the total overseas gross now being ₹29.25 crore, the worldwide gross collection has reached ₹138.25 crore.
The principal drivers of the film's business are the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets, followed by Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. Andhra Pradesh & Telangana contributed ₹14 crore, Karnataka ₹1.42 crore, Tamil Nadu ₹50 Lakhs, and Kerala ₹8 Lakhs. Additional revenue came from the rest of India, which amounted to about ₹2.50 crore, as per Sacnilk figures. The Day 4 India gross totalled ₹18.50 crore.
As it enters the first Monday and weekday business, "The Paradise" has officially registered a record-breaking opening for Nani by outperforming both "Hi Nanna" and Srikanth Odela’s directorial debut "Dasara". Helped by an exceptionally wide release and enhanced ticket pricing, "The Paradise" has already surpassed the lifetime India net collection of "Dasara" (₹81.93 crore) and its lifetime global collection (est. between ₹118.50 crore and ₹121 crore), making it Nani's highest-grossing film of all time in the domestic and international markets.
When "Dasara", Srikanth Odela's directorial debut, opened in 2023, it had competition from Ranbir Kapoor's "Animal", but relied on strong word-of-mouth. That movie, which co-starred Keerthy Suresh, was highly celebrated for its raw aesthetic. It finished its 4-day opening weekend at a ₹87 crore worldwide gross. In the case of "The Paradise", the pre-release hype helped accumulate nearly double that amount globally (₹138.25 crore) in the same timeframe.
In comparison, Nani's "Hi Nanna" — which completed its lifetime run at around ₹75.35 crore globally and ₹60 crore domestically — relied on an emotional, family-oriented premise that didn't give it the same kind of wide, expansive release. "The Paradise", on the other hand, utilised its raw 1980s action setting to instantly dominate single screens and multiplexes alike, driving massive opening footfalls.
