Nani’s The Paradise Faces Sharp Drop in Andhra Pradesh Collections

Nani’s latest Telugu film, The Paradise, has encountered a challenging start to its first weekday in Andhra Pradesh, with Monday collections dropping sharply compared to its earlier performance. The film, directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under SLV Cinemas, had managed to avoid a complete box office crash during its opening weekend, despite negative word-of-mouth from premiere shows.

While The Paradise maintained respectable numbers in the Nizam region, its Andhra Pradesh performance has not matched expectations. The action drama’s initial resilience over the weekend was attributed to the usual boost in occupancies, but as the workweek began, the lack of positive audience feedback became more apparent. According to reports, the film’s collections in Andhra and Ceded regions would have been stronger if it had not received such negative talk from the outset.

The Paradise was previously highlighted as the most expensive project in Nani’s career, generating considerable buzz ahead of its teaser release in August. However, the current trend in Andhra Pradesh signals a tough road ahead for the film’s box office prospects. The production house, SLV Cinemas, and director Srikanth Odela now face the challenge of sustaining momentum as the film moves further into the weekdays.

Earlier coverage noted that The Paradise successfully avoided a box office crash on its second day, even in the face of critical reviews. Now, with the weekend advantage fading, the film’s performance in Andhra Pradesh is under close watch as it continues its theatrical run.
