Nani's much-awaited action drama The Paradise has finally hit theatres, and the early audience verdict couldn't be more divided. While many viewers have praised the film's gritty world-building, high-octane action and Nani's transformation as Jadal, others have questioned its pacing and storytelling despite the movie's ambitious scale. The film's emotional mother-son narrative and explosive interval sequence have emerged as major talking points, with some fans describing the interval block as a "pure high" cinematic experience.
