Thirteen days in, Nani and Kayadu Lohar’s The Paradise has pushed its worldwide gross to Rs 169.15 crore, according to trade figures collated by Sacnilk and cited by The Times of India. The India net total stands at Rs 117.13 crore, India gross at Rs 138.10 crore, and the overseas contribution at Rs 31.05 crore.
The second-week slide is the number to watch
Day 13 brought in only Rs 93 lakh net in India from 1,499 shows. That is a 15.5% drop from the previous day’s Rs 1.10 crore, and the film’s second Monday-to-Tuesday pattern now looks like this:
- Day 9: Rs 2.80 crore
- Day 10: Rs 2.00 crore
- Day 11: Rs 2.10 crore
- Day 12: Rs 1.10 crore
- Day 13: Rs 93 lakh
The first week contributed Rs 108.20 crore of the India net total. That leaves roughly Rs 8.93 crore added after the opening week, so the second-week hold matters more for the lifetime number than the opening.
For distribution and marketing teams, a 93-lakh Tuesday signals that weekday demand is thinning faster than the weekend would suggest. The film is not collapsing, but it is now relying on the Telugu market to keep it in cinemas.
Telugu belts are carrying the load
The Telugu version brought in Rs 90 lakh of the Rs 93 lakh day-13 net, from 1,358 shows, at 19.0% occupancy. The Hindi version added only Rs 3 lakh from 141 shows at 13.0% occupancy. Across all languages, the film recorded 100,054 footfalls on day 13, with overall Telugu 2D occupancy at 17.98%.
That split matters for planners: the film is functioning as a Telugu-first title, with Hindi contribution negligible on a weekday. The daypart curve—morning 16.9%, afternoon 19.7%, evening 18.3%, night 15.3%—shows afternoon and evening shows doing the work, not the late shows.
A small fantasy film holds level
Fahadh Faasil’s Don’t Trouble The Trouble collected Rs 34 lakh net on day 5 from 689 shows, a marginal 3.0% rise over day 4’s Rs 33 lakh. Its India net total is Rs 3.71 crore; gross is Rs 4.27 crore. The film has clocked 301,578 total footfalls through five days.
The opening-day Rs 1.65 crore has not repeated, but a flat day 5 after losing shows is a small sign of stability rather than a breakout. For a niche Telugu-Malayalam bilingual fantasy adventure, the relevant comparison is endurance, not weekend spikes.
The two films are a useful case study in second-week dynamics: one is deleveraging a big first week, and the other is trying to hold a small base with fewer shows.
