Nani on mixed reviews of The Paradise Nani has reacted to the mixed reviews for his latest release The Paradise. The actor has acknowledged the praise and criticism that the film has received ever since its theatrical release.
The actor took to social media to address the audience reaction saying he’d been following the conversations surrounding the film. Instead of getting defensive at the criticism, Nani thanked the viewers for embracing the film and even reacting to it with humor and trolls.
I have seen all your reactions and responses. I’ve received all your love and equally enjoyed your hilarious trolls. I’m heartwarmed by the way audience have owned the film, and also learnt from the flaws that critics and reviewers have pointed out.
Thank you for everything is all I can say. We have made #TheParadise with a lot of blood and sweat to give you a unique experience, and it’s all yours to celebrate or judge. With the excitement you had for the film and the affection you showed on me, I am filled with gratitude ♥️ Nani — Nani (@NameisNani) September 25, 2026
Nani thanks fans for making The Paradise a success
Nani said he has gone through the various reactions and responses to The Paradise and was ‘heartwarmed’ by the way audiences had connected to the film.
He wrote, “I have seen all your reactions and responses. I’ve received all your love and equally enjoyed your hilarious trolls. I’m heartwarmed by the way the audience have owned the film, and also learnt from the flaws that critics and reviewers have pointed out. Thank you for everything is all I can say.

At the same time, Nani pointed out the effort involved in making the project. He called The Paradise a film “made with a lot of blood and sweat” in an effort to give the audience something different.
Yours to judge or to celebrate
Rather than trying to influence how viewers watch the film, Nani appeared to leave the final decision to the audiences. His response acknowledged that once the film is in cinemas, it’s up to the audience to celebrate it, criticize it or just have their own interpretation of what they watched.
The actor’s response comes amid a flurry of social media talk about The Paradise, with critics and viewers divided on a range of issues concerning the film.
Srikanth Odela’s film gets mixed reviews
Srikanth Odela has directed The Paradise and the director and Nani have already worked together to create a successful combination.
The film has been lauded for Nani’s physical transformation and performance, its action-packed world and visual scale. At the same time, there have been some reviews which have also highlighted issues with the screenplay, narrative flow, emotional depth and execution.
The VFX of the film, some casting decisions and individual character tracks have also been discussed on social media. The character of Kayadu Lohar and the act of Raghav Juyal has become another talking point among the viewers.
The Paradise is still generating conversations, and Nani’s response clearly shows he is taking the appreciation and criticism of the film in his stride.
