Nani’s The Paradise has made a strong opening at the box office, makers released poster collecting around Rs 88 crore gross worldwide on its first day, including premieres. This marks Nani’s biggest-ever day-one worldwide gross.

The opening is largely driven by the strong pre-release buzz around Nani and the film, along with the considerable expectations created by the combination of Nani and director Srikanth Odela. The movie has recorded a solid opening across the Telugu states and has also performed well in overseas markets.

The Paradise has reportedly crossed $1.55 million in North America and around $2.25 million in overseas markets overall. However, the film has received mixed talk after its release, making the response from the coming days important for its box-office run.

With the strong opening already secured, the key now is whether The Paradise can maintain its momentum beyond the first weekend. The film’s performance over the next few days will determine if it can convert the strong Day 1 start into a sustained theatrical run.
