Adverse reviews took a toll on *The Paradise* as its earnings experienced a sharp fall on the second day. Excluding premieres, the movie pulled in roughly 35 crore net on its opening day, but yesterday’s collections stayed just under the 15 crore threshold. While these figures raise concerns given the steep budgets involved, the overall performance at the Indian box office remains fair so far. Remarkably, within only two days, the project climbed to become Nani’s 5th highest-grossing film ever. Read ahead for a complete breakdown of day 2!
How much did The Paradise earn at the Indian box office in 2 days?
As anticipated, the Telugu action thriller suffered a significant dip on its first Friday (day 2), bringing in 14.9 crore. This represents a 57% decrease compared to the 34.65 crore generated on day 1 (not counting premieres). Although the picture benefited from a partial holiday across the Telugu states, negative public reception and critical reviews drove the downturn.
In total, *The Paradise* has accumulated 61.15 crore net domestically, translating to 72.16 crore gross. Moving forward, even with a stable trajectory, it is projected to easily surpass the 100 crore net milestone by the conclusion of its 4-day extended opening weekend.
