Nani’s The Paradise has reportedly crossed $1 million in North America presales ahead of its overseas premieres on September 23. The advance booking milestone gives the Telugu film a strong start before its worldwide theatrical release on September 24, though its final opening will depend on premiere attendance and audience response.
The Paradise builds momentum before premieres
Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise reunites the filmmaker with Nani amid high expectations from overseas audiences. The film’s release changes had raised questions about whether it could sustain its advance booking momentum. Its promotional campaign also moved forward without a conventional trailer, leaving songs and other material to drive interest close to release.
The song “Yesha Nagula Katta Meeda,” featuring Nani and Keerthy, has helped renew attention on the film. Anirudh Ravichander’s music, Nani’s new look and the action-heavy presentation have added to the pre-release discussion. The reported $1 million figure suggests that this interest has translated into substantial North American ticket sales despite the absence of a trailer.
What the $1 million figure means
The reported total refers to tickets sold before the premieres, not the film’s final box office collection. Presales can change as more shows open and tickets are booked, while the full overseas picture will become clearer after premiere grosses are reported. For now, The Paradise has delivered a notable advance booking headline for Nani in North America. The next test is whether the strong presales carry through the premiere shows and into the opening weekend.
