Nani’s The Paradise has finally ended its theatrical run, turning out to be a major disappointment. Backed by a huge budget and solid hype, the film was expected to score big, but unfortunately, it fell short. Nonetheless, it managed to become the Natural Star’s highest-grossing film of all time by a margin, surpassing HIT: The Third Case. Let’s find out what its worldwide box office closing collection is!

The Telugu action thriller was released on September 24, 2026. It opened to mostly negative reviews from critics. While Nani was praised for his performance and efforts, the film as a whole was panned across the board. Even among the ticket-buying audience, it received mostly negative feedback, but thanks to pre-release buzz, the film pulled off respectable numbers.

How much did The Paradise earn at the Indian box office?

The Paradise opened at 46.25 crore net in India and over the course of its run, multiplied the opening-day collection by just 2.6 times. As per the final collection update, the film earned 121.03 crore net in India, which equals 142.8 crore gross. Overseas, it grossed 31.05 crore. Combining both, the closing worldwide box office collection stands at 173.85 crore gross.

India net – 121.03 crore
