Nani’s The Paradise continues to lead Telugu ticket sales despite fresh Gandhi Jayanti releases entering theatres. The week-old film is drawing stronger BookMyShow footfalls than Sundeep Kishan’s Sigma, Fahadh Faasil’s Don’t Trouble The Trouble and Harsh Roshan’s Thella Kaagitham. The holdover’s performance comes despite mixed-to-negative audience reports, highlighting Nani’s established goodwill. With newer films receiving mixed or weak initial responses, The Paradise is expected to retain momentum across Telugu markets during the extended holiday weekend this festive weekend.

Nani’s The Paradise Telugu releases battle has taken an interesting turn, with the Srikanth Odela-directed film maintaining a lead over several new movies despite entering its second theatrical week. The film continues to draw stronger footfalls on BookMyShow than the latest Telugu releases.Several films arrived in cinemas for the Gandhi Jayanti holiday, including Sundeep Kishan’s Sigma, Fahadh Faasil’s Don’t Trouble The Trouble and Harsh Roshan’s Thella Kaagitham. However, The Paradise is reportedly staying ahead of these newcomers in ticket sales.

The Paradise Maintains Lead During Holiday Weekend

The Paradise continues to attract audiences despite mixed-to-negative reports, with its performance partly attributed to the goodwill Nani has built throughout his career. Meanwhile, new releases Thella Kaagitham and Don’t Trouble The Trouble opened to mixed responses, while Sigma’s initial reception was reportedly less encouraging. This could help The Paradise retain screens and audience attention during the extended holiday period.

The Paradise had already registered a major box-office milestone before the new competition arrived. The film closed its first seven days with a reported ₹104.90 crore net collection in India and ₹154.80 crore worldwide, becoming Nani’s first film to cross ₹100 crore net domestically.Its first-week performance also made The Paradise the biggest theatrical performer of Nani’s career so far, although collections declined considerably after its strong opening.
