The Paradise Twitter Review (PC: IMDb)
Nani’s The Paradise has opened in theatres on September 24, but the early audience reactions on X (formerly Twitter) have been largely negativeWhile some viewers have praised Nani’s performance, the film’s screenplay, narration, editing and emotional connect have come under criticismDirected by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise stars Nani in the lead role, along with Raghav Juyal, Kayadu Lohar and Mohan Babu. The film follows a tribal community fighting for justice and features several action-heavy sequences.
As first-day-first-show screenings began, several viewers took to X to share their reactionsSome users criticised the film’s second half, while others questioned the emotional depth and executionA few social media users also compared The Paradise unfavourably with Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups.

One social media user wrote, “#TheParadise A Patience Testing Artificial Mass Film! An interesting start and decent interval are about the only portions that work in the first halfThe second half is even worse with senseless writing, tedious narration, and barely any emotional connectThere are moments that show some promise in the film, but everything feels artificial, from the staging and performances to the action, while the lackluster editing and abrupt cuts only make it more chaoticApart from the songs, Anirudh’s BGM is surprisingly weak, and the poor sound mixing makes things worse with excessive loudness and dialogues that are hard to follow at timesOdela completely fumbles the writing and execution, wasting a golden opportunityIt’s a head scratcher how he followed Dasara up with thisNani puts in the effort, but even he feels like a misfit in this poorly sketched worldA completely forgettable film and easily one of Nani’s weakest.”
Another viewer said, “#TheParadise – First half was atleast Pasable but the Second half was completely Flat & travels elsewhere throughout the film !! Even Anirudh’s background in 2nd half didn’t work Mother Sentiment was the core of the film, but the mother character has been setup so flaud, so it didn’t emotionally connect at all Overall a Below Average entertainer”
A third user wrote, “#TheParadise – Mass Avatar doesnt suit NaniFunny Villain, Dummy Kayadu, Weak MomLoud BGM & Worst EditsOpening 20Mins, Interval Point & KCR Scenes GudMinus – Staging, ColorTone, SlowMotion Shots, Random Actions, Emotionless Mom-Son Bond, Improper Narration flowBAD Watch!”
One Nani fan also compared the film with Yash’s Toxic, writing, “Toxic is 100x Better than #TheParadise cringe”.

#TheParadise Review: Miscast Nani, Miserable Film#Nani feels miscast in a larger-than-life roleFrom his look to the action scenes, it all seems too big for him to pull offEven his screen presence falls flat.
