Nani‘s The Paradise has completed its first week at the box office with ₹150.25 Cr gross worldwide. The film, directed by Srikanth Odela, opened to extraordinary numbers during its opening weekend but saw big drops in collections during the weekdays.
The first-week total still represents a significant milestone: The Paradise has become Nani‘s career-highest grossing film.

The territorial breakdown shows strong concentration in Nizam, which alone contributed ₹53.5 Cr—over 35% of the worldwide total. The Andhra Pradesh territories (Ceeded plus six territories) collectively brought in ₹39.7 Cr, while Karnataka emerged as a strong market with ₹11.25 Cr.
| Territory | Gross (₹ Cr) |
|---|---|
| Nizam | 53.5 |
| Ceeded | 9.7 |
| Andhra (6 Territories) | 30 |
| Karnataka | 11.25 |
| TN + Kerala | 4.3 |
| ROI | 11.5 |
| Overseas | 30 |
| Worldwide Total | 150.25 |
Overseas markets contributed ₹30 Cr to the first-week tally, while Rest of India brought in ₹11.5 Cr. The combined Tamil Nadu and Kerala markets accounted for ₹4.3 Cr.
Break-Even Achieved in Key Markets
The Paradise has achieved break-even status in Telangana and Karnataka but needs sustained collections in Andhra Pradesh and other territories to emerge profitable across all areas.
The second weekend will be critical, with multiple new releases competing for screens. How Nani and Srikanth Odela‘s film holds against the new competition will determine its path to overall profitability and final theatrical run.
