The box office dominance of Natural Star Nani continues! After delivering a historic opening weekend, the gritty period action-drama The Paradise has officially achieved its first major commercial milestone. Directed by Srikanth Odela, the highly anticipated pan-India project has crossed the prestigious ₹100 crore net mark at the domestic box office within just six days of its theatrical release.
Despite facing a noticeable deceleration during the weekdays and battling mixed reviews regarding its second-half pacing, the film’s massive opening numbers provided a solid enough foundation to comfortably push it past the century mark.
Here is a complete, detailed breakdown of The Paradise Day 6 box office collections, the worldwide gross, and how Nani has gracefully responded to the film’s critics!
The Crucial Day 6 Figures: Crossing The ₹100 Crore Milestone
After experiencing a significant drop on its first Monday (Day 5) with a collection of ₹4.62 crore, the film saw another expected weekday dip on Tuesday (Day 6). However, the steady footfalls across mass centers were enough to secure the coveted milestone.
According to the latest live figures from industry tracker Sacnilk, The Paradise collected an estimated ₹3.51 crore net in India on Day 6. Operating across more than 5,235 shows nationwide, the film recorded an overall Tuesday occupancy of approximately 16.7%.
With the addition of the Day 6 earnings, the total India net collection for The Paradise has officially reached ₹100.61 crore. Factoring in taxes and regional variables, the India gross collection stands at an impressive ₹118.99 crore.
The overseas market has also been highly receptive, contributing an estimated ₹30 crore so far. This pushes the overall worldwide gross collection of the film past the ₹145 crore mark, firmly establishing it as a massive commercial success for the producers. The original Telugu version remains the primary engine driving these numbers, while the Hindi (featuring Raghav Juyal) and Tamil dubbed versions continue to make nominal contributions.
Nani’s Graceful Response to Criticism
While the box office registers keep ringing, the film has faced polarizing word-of-mouth. Critics and a section of the audience have pointed out flaws in the narrative structure, specifically heavily criticizing the outdated “saviour trope” used in the second half.
Rather than ignoring the backlash, Nani addressed the mixed reviews with incredible grace. The actor viewed the intense reactions not as negativity, but as a reflection of the massive expectations audiences had following his previous blockbuster collaboration with Srikanth Odela in Dasara.
Taking to social media, Nani penned a heartfelt note to his fans: “I have seen all your reactions and responses. I’ve received all your love and equally enjoyed your hilarious trolls. I’m heartwarmed by the way the audience has owned the film, and also learnt from the flaws that critics and reviewers have pointed out. Thank you for everything is all I can say.”
Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner and featuring a stellar supporting cast including Kayadu Lohar, Mohan Babu, and Sonali Kulkarni, The Paradise aims to sustain its steady weekday run until the second weekend brings a fresh surge of footfalls.
