Nani’s latest Telugu action drama The Paradise has delivered the biggest opening of his career, despite receiving mixed reactions from audiences and critics. Directed by Srikanth Odela, the film collected around ₹75 crore worldwide on its opening day, according to trade estimates, surpassing the first-day performances of HIT: The Third Case and Dasara. The film benefited from strong advance bookings and paid previews, particularly in Telugu-speaking markets. However, early reviews have been divided, with criticism focusing on the film’s writing, editing and action sequences.
