The Nani-led film *The Paradise* hits the big screen in just a few hours. Thanks to strong promotional material, excitement is at a peak. Although the creators took a somewhat risky approach by withholding the trailer, the existing high buzz meant this choice caused no harm. In fact, the strategy appears to be working by sustaining audience curiosity, which has sparked a sense of urgency in advance bookings. Consequently, the movie has drawn remarkable pre-sales numbers for its premiere screenings.
Secures an impressive show count for premieres
Premiere screenings kick off this evening, and high occupancy is anticipated. Advance bookings alone have registered an exceptional 51% occupancy rate. Regarding the screening count, the feature secured 908 shows—a robust total that surpasses the 847 premiere shows managed by Ram Charan’s *Peddi*. The film also benefited from the absence of any competing major Telugu releases.
The Paradise grosses 5 crore+ through premiere pre-sales in India
In the final pre-sales update, *The Paradise* sold a massive 1.65 lakh tickets for its premiere shows, excluding blocked seats. Financially, this translates to an Indian box office gross of 5.24 crore from advance premiere sales alone. Bookings for the original Telugu version make up 5.21 crore of that gross.

Looking at city-wise data, Hyderabad leads with 1.99 crore in ticket sales. On the state level, Telangana front-runs the figures with a 2.32 crore gross, followed by Andhra Pradesh at 1.87 crore gross.
Puts the premiere collection of The RajaSaab in danger
Driven by 5.24 crore gross from advance reservations alone, *The Paradise* is targeting solid earnings from its premiere runs. To break into the top 6 Tollywood premiere collections, it needs to overtake Prabhas’ *The RajaSaab*, which holds the number six spot with 9.15 crore net at the Indian box office. This target looks achievable, and reaching it would mark a significant accomplishment for Nani by outperforming Prabhas.
Take a look at the top Tollywood premiere collections in India (net):
- They Call Him OG – 21 crore
- Peddi – 18.5 crore
- Hari Hara Veera Mallu – 12.75 crore
- Pushpa 2 – 10.65 crore
- Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu – 9.35 crore
- The RajaSaab – 9.15 crore
