Even before the release of The Paradise, there was a lot of debate and discussion about whether Nani could enter the Tier 1 or top star league of Tollywood.

Given the film’s massive hype and Nani’s first of its kind Jadal look and his histrionics combined with the film’s ultra mass setup, The Paradise opened with terrific numbers and emerged as a career-best opening for Nani.

However disappointing everyone, The Paradise opened to divided talk and a mixed response. With this, many in the industry and trade started expressing doubts over the whole Tier 1 discussion surrounding Nani.

Still, thanks to Nani’s credibility, The Paradise managed to put up a strong and solid show despite the mixed talk. Interestingly, after the film’s mixed talk, Nani took to social media and acknowledged it publicly. He said he is accepting all the appreciation and brickbats and said he took all the feedback. This is a laudable move.

Despite the film’s lead actor openly taking to social media and publicly accepting the divide talk, it hasn’t had any effect on the film’s first week box-office numbers. This gave a big boost to the film’s whole team who came out and called for a press meet. All these reflect one thing – the trust and confidence of audience on Nani. The film pulled strong numbers in its first weekend, and beyond everything, the audience’s trust in Nani played a major role.

At the same time, some debates have also seen comparisons between the collections of multiple films and The Paradise, with attempts to corner Nani. But one thing remains clear: many movie lovers, along with his fans, believe that Nani’s credibility is bigger than any tier in Tollywood.

Keeping the box-office numbers aside, The Paradise has several flaws, yet audiences are still willing to watch the film at least once. That itself shows the level of trust Nani has built among moviegoers.

Going forward, Nani needs to choose good films that match the trust he has built among audiences. Credibility is something that takes years to build but can be affected by a series of wrong choices. Nani has already proved that his credibility goes beyond box-office numbers. If he continues to come up with strong and engaging films, there is no doubt that this trust will only grow stronger.
