Nani’s The Paradise leads the September 25 box office race by a wide margin, The Vvaan gains momentum on Saturday, while Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha struggles to attract audiences.
The September 25 weekend has brought three very different films into the theatrical race – Nani’s The Paradise, Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s The Vvaan – Force of the Forrest, and Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha: Shri Ram Ki.
The Paradise has established a commanding lead, The Vvaan has shown encouraging growth after its opening day. Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha, meanwhile, continues to struggle at the box office.
The Paradise Box Office: Nani’s Film Takes A Strong Lead
Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise hit cinemas on September 24 after generating considerable anticipation. The makers also secured permission for a special September 23 screening in Telangana at ₹500, including GST, before increasing ticket prices for the regular theatrical run.
The film opened strongly, with premiere collections giving it an additional boost. Sacnilk reported ₹11.60 crore net from Day 0, followed by ₹34.65 crore net on Day 1. That took the film’s India net collection to ₹46.25 crore after two days.
The film also made a strong impact globally. Its Day 1 worldwide gross reportedly stood at around ₹76.90 crore.
On Day 2, The Paradise added approximately ₹14.90 crore net in India, taking its two-day domestic total to ₹61.15 crore. Its worldwide gross reportedly reached around ₹98.50 crore, leaving the film just short of the ₹100 crore global mark within its first two days.

The language breakdown further highlights where the film’s strength lies. The Telugu version contributed approximately ₹31.30 crore net on Day 1, while the Hindi version collected around ₹2.25 crore and Tamil added roughly ₹1.10 crore.
The Paradise has found its strongest audience in the Telugu market, while the Hindi version currently contributes a much smaller share of the overall business.
The Vvaan Box Office: Saturday Gives The Film A Much-Needed Push
Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s The Vvaan – Force of the Forrest opened on September 25. The fantasy thriller started on a modest note, but Saturday gave the film a noticeable lift.
According to KBP REVIEW, The Vvaan earned around ₹8 crore net on Friday before jumping to approximately ₹11 crore net on Saturday.
That represents a 37.5% increase from Day 1 and takes the film’s two-day India net collection to around ₹19 crore.

Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha Box Office: A Slow Start
Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha: Shri Ram Ki has taken a very different route at the box office.
The film opened on September 25 but struggled to generate substantial theatrical business. Currently lists its Day 1 India net at around ₹0.08 crore.
On Day 2, ₹0.16 crore, taking the film’s two-day total to approximately ₹0.32 crore net.
The film has also recorded extremely low occupancy levels (DISASTER).
Interestingly, some single screen properties have performed comparatively better than major multiplex chains, but the overall theatrical footprint remains limited.
