The Telugu box office continues to witness a stark contrast in theatrical performances between two major releases. On one side, Natural Star Nani’s action-driven spectacle The Paradise is slowly wrapping up a highly lucrative run deep into its third week. On the other side, powerhouse performer Fahadh Faasil’s fantasy comedy Don’t Trouble The Trouble is struggling to maintain its footing after failing to attract a wider audience.
As The Paradise completes its 18th day in theaters and Don’t Trouble The Trouble navigates its second week, the disparity in their box office numbers has become abundantly clear.
Here is a complete breakdown of the latest box office collections, occupancy rates, and global milestones for both highly discussed films.
Nani’s ‘The Paradise’ Day 18 Breakdown
Despite opening to mixed reviews from critics, Nani’s The Paradise has proven its resilience by drawing consistent footfalls over the past three weeks. However, the film is finally showing signs of slowing down.
On its 18th day (Sunday), the film collected ₹52 lakhs in domestic net earnings. This represents a 13.3% decline from its Saturday collection of ₹60 lakhs. The movie recorded 400 shows on Sunday, attracting just over 49,200 footfalls with an overall occupancy of 20.95% across Telugu 2D screenings. The evening shows witnessed the highest traction at 23%, followed by afternoon screenings at 18.67%.
Despite the recent dip in daily earnings, the film’s cumulative numbers remain highly impressive. Its domestic gross collection currently stands at ₹142.08 crore. Benefiting from a massive international audience, the film has hauled in an additional ₹31.15 crore from overseas markets, pushing its total worldwide gross to a staggering ₹173.23 crore.
Fahadh Faasil’s ‘Don’t Trouble The Trouble’ Fails to Sparkle
Releasing a few weeks after The Paradise, Fahadh Faasil’s unique fantasy comedy Don’t Trouble The Trouble arrived with an intriguing premise. The story follows a magician who accidentally vanishes a young girl, only to discover she is a powerful genie whose abilities spiral out of control whenever she gets angry.
Despite the creative plot and Faasil’s undeniable acting prowess, the film failed to translate its premise into box office numbers. The film’s reported India net collection currently stands at a meager ₹4.50 crore. Its India gross and overall worldwide gross are both capped at just ₹5.16 crore.
A closer look at the language-wise split reveals that the Telugu version accounted for the bulk of the earnings with ₹4.02 crore net, while the Malayalam version contributed a minimal ₹38 lakhs. Having opened at ₹1.44 crore on October 2, 2026, the daily collections have rapidly dwindled, plummeting to the lower lakhs within its first ten days.
While Nani’s The Paradise prepares to transition out of theaters with a massive ₹173 crore global haul under its belt, Fahadh Faasil’s experimental venture will unfortunately conclude its theatrical journey as a major commercial disappointment.
