Nani’s film The Paradise earned Rs 150.50 crore worldwide in six days. This action drama, directed by Srikanth Odela, became the actor’s biggest hit in 18 years. It already crossed the lifetime collections of his previous releases like Saripodhaa Sanivaaram and Dasara. Many fans love the story set in 1980s Secunderabad.

Overseas collections have been equally strong. The international market has contributed approximately Rs 30 crore in gross over six days, taking the worldwide gross to Rs 150.50 crore.

The scale of The Paradise’s achievement becomes clearer when measured against the lifetime collections of Nani’s previous releases. Saripodhaa Sanivaaram collected approximately Rs 56 crore net in India and Rs 100 crore worldwide across its entire theatrical run. The Paradise surpassed both figures in six days.

Dasara, his previous collaboration with Srikanth Odela, collected approximately Rs 62 crore net in India and Rs 107 crore worldwide in its full run. The Paradise has already crossed Dasara’s domestic lifetime and is within reach of its worldwide total.

HIT: The Third Case collected approximately Rs 70 crore net in India and Rs 120 crore worldwide, while Hi Nanna collected approximately Rs 45 crore net in India and Rs 80 crore worldwide. The Paradise has more than doubled Hi Nanna’s lifetime domestic collection in less than a week.

The Paradise is the sixth Telugu film to cross Rs 100 crore worldwide in the first nine months of 2026. The five that preceded it are Peddi, which collected Rs 331 crore worldwide, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which collected Rs 300 crore worldwide, The Raja Saab, which collected Rs 100.20 crore worldwide on Day 1 alone, Irumudi and Ustaad Bhagat Singh, which collected Rs 100 crore worldwide, respectively.

At Rs 150.50 crore worldwide after six days, The Paradise sits sixth on the list of highest-grossing Telugu films of the year. It remains well behind the Rs 300 crore-plus runs of Peddi and The Raja Saab, but that gap reflects the difference in star tier rather than a failure on The Paradise’s part.
