The Paradise has been reported to have grossed approximately ₹138.25 crore worldwide in its first four days, including paid premieres, with ₹109 crore from India and ₹29.25 crore overseas. The film had its paid premieres on September 23 before its standard release on September 24.

The figure comes from trade tracking cited by multiple reports, not an audited producer, distributor or exhibitor statement. Sacnilk’s reported India net total is ₹92.10 crore across the four-day period; India Today gives the corresponding India gross as ₹109 crore. The makers had earlier promoted a ₹136 crore worldwide figure after three days, describing it as “JADAL ZAMANA at the box office”.

That makes the result impressive, especially for a Telugu film led by Nani and set in 1980s Secunderabad. It also makes the wording important: this is a reported estimate, not a company filing. The film is being described as Nani’s highest-grossing release, based on comparisons with other estimated trade figures.

The box office, at least for now, has better paperwork in publicity than in audit.
