A Hyderabad theatre prepares for a reported special screening of The Paradise.
Multiple reports say Telangana’s Home Department has permitted one paid special show of Nani-starrer The Paradise at 6:30 pm on September 23, with tickets priced at ₹500 including GST. The film releases on September 24. The permission is reported to cover enhanced ticket rates for up to five shows a day through October 3. Cinema pricing, now with a timetable.
The reported additional charges are ₹48 for single screens and ₹95 for multiplexes from September 24 to 27, followed by ₹23 and ₹45 respectively from September 28 to October 3. One report says the second period begins on September 27, creating a date discrepancy that only the original memo can settle.
Several reports identify the document as Telangana Home (General) Department Memo No. 21/HOME-GEN2/2026, dated September 20. The memo itself was not available through an accessible official government portal, so these details remain reported approval rather than independently verified government record. Reports also mention a welfare contribution, but disagree over whether it is ₹1 lakh or ₹1 crore. That number can remain in the paperwork until the paperwork appears.
