Perhaps no other Telugu film in recent times has generated such massive buzz as Nani-starrer The Paradise. The Srikanth Odela directorial is carrying phenomenal buzz, buoyed by tremendous pre-sale ticket volumes and fabulous promotions. All this… without a trailer!
The Paradise censor and runtime
As expected, The Paradise has been censored with an A rating. The CBFC had reportedly suggested that the filmmakers make 21 changes. The film’s content features excessive violence and bloodshed, while a few cuss words prompted the censor board to review the film for an A certificate. Nani took to his social media handle and wrote, “Guidelines say A But the content says Universal Ready.” This brings The Paradise’s final runtime to 174 minutes (2 hours and 54 minutes).
Nani set for career-best opening
While advance bookings have opened to a thunderous response, Nani is all poised to enjoy his career-best opening with The Paradise. According to trade estimates, the makers are eyeing massive worldwide gross collections on the opening day. The film arrives on September 24, 2026, with a reported worldwide theatrical business of Rs 103.75 crore. According to Sacnilk, The Paradise needs a worldwide share of ₹105 crore plus, roughly ₹200 crore gross, to be called a hit. Advance bookings in Nizam opened with over one lakh tickets sold, amassing an impressive total gross of Rs 10 crore so far.
The Paradise overseas
The pre-release sales for The Paradise have gathered momentum across overseas markets too. According to Sacnilk, worldwide advance bookings have already crossed the Rs 10 crore mark (with three days remaining before release) for the opening day. These box-office numbers indicate the strong interest and expectations audiences have for the action thriller. North America has emerged as an especially important territory, with premiere advance sales reportedly crossing $650,000 so far.
