Hi movie lovers, what's up? Have you heard about Natural Star Nani's new movie 'The Paradise' Glimpse? This 1 minute 46 second glimpse, released on March 3, 2025, has shaken up social media! Raw, rustic, dark—all together a full josh package! Nani's two-braided look, bold tattoo, Anirudh's background score—oh, these glimpses will make your mouth drop! What's special about these glimpses? Why are fans so hyped? Randra, let's talk about the movie for a while, is the popcorn ready?
Glimpse buzz: Nani's look, the story of the crows!
These glimpses, I'll tell you one thing—goosebumps are guaranteed from the first frame! The video, which starts with the tagline ‘Raw Statement’, opens with a disclaimer: “Raw Truth, Raw Language!” The ruckus that begins from there is no ordinary one! A female voiceover (Sonali Kulkarni, playing the role of Nani’s mother) narrates the story. “History has written about parrots and pigeons, but no one has written about crows,” she says, introducing the story of a downtrodden community. These crows—a metaphor for those overlooked and exploited in society. If you cut to it, Nani’s entry—two-braided hairstyle, a bold tattoo of “s**t son” on his arm, a watch tied to his shoes, and a gun in full rugged look! Even though Nani’s face is not fully shown, the body language and intense vibe tell how dark and gritty the film is going to be. Visuals full of slums, blood, corpses, and Anirudh Ravichander's electrifying score—all of these combined to make Glimpse a bomb.
Nani Transformation: Where is Mr. Nice Guy?
The real highlight of this glimpse is Nani's look and transformation! Nani, who was seen as a soft, rollicking romantic hero in Ashta Chamma and Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, is seen here in a fully raw, rustic, violent avatar. Two-braids, muscular physique, that tattoo—fans were shocked! As one fan wrote in X, "Is this Nania? Where is Mr. Nice Guy who posts photos with a puppy?" We saw Nani's rugged look in Dussehra, but in The Paradise, he took that intensity to another level. In this film, Nani is seen as the leader of an oppressed community, a person rejected by society. The theme of the film “You can be a leader even if you don’t have recognition” is clear in the glimpses. Nani himself is dubbing for the Spanish version—how crazy is that?
Story and Setting: 1980s Secunderabad vibe!
The Paradise story is set in 1980s Secunderabad, with the backdrop of Hyderabad. A marginalized tribe fights for recognition and rights in society. As their leader, Nani emerges as a person whom society calls a “bastard”. The slums, blood-soaked visuals, and the metaphor of crows shown in the glimpses—all these tell us how deep and dark the film is going to be. Director Srikanth Odela is teaming up with Nani for the second time after Dussehra. This time, he is going to show it raw and honest, without blurring the taboos of society. Nani himself called this film “India’s Mad Max”—that is, a ride full of wildness and poetic justice.
Technical magic: Anirudh, Vishnu, Naveen are in the thick of it!
The technical team work in this glimpse is amazing. Anirudh Ravichander’s background score—every beat is like a bullet in the heart! After Jersey and Gang Leader, Anirudh teams up with Nani again, this time in a more electrifying way. GK Vishnu’s cinematography takes the film to another level with dark, gloomy visuals. Avinash Kolla’s production design and Naveen Nooli’s editing—all these together put Glimpse in the Hollywood range. As a fan wrote on X, “The cinematography is like a Star Wars shot!” The film is being produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the banner of SLV Cinemas, and it is said to be the most expensive project of Nani’s career
Fans’ reaction: Social media is rocking!
Social media has been in full swing since the release of the glimpse. Nani shared the glimpse on X and hyped up his fans by writing, “This is our statement. The Paradise will rise!” The Telugu version alone has 18 million views and is trending at number 1, X said in the post. Looking at the fan comments, one group said, “Nani’s look is amazing, this is a new benchmark in Tollywood!” and another group said, “Srikanth Odela is cooking something grand.” Some people are writing that they did not like Dussehra, but after seeing these glimpses, “Odela, you should rock this time!” Glimpse has created a global buzz after being released in five languages—Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, English, and Spanish. The film is going to be released in a total of eight languages (Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish)—what a crazy plan
Why should you watch Glimpse?
In a word, The Paradise Glimpse is a game-changer in Nani’s career! Nani’s rugged look, Anirudh’s score, Srikanth Odela’s raw storytelling, and dark visuals—all these make Glimpse a treat not to be missed. A tale of oppression in society, a struggle for identity, and a hard punch against bureaucracy—Nani and Odela say that this film will impress a global audience. Fans of X are already writing, "This will be a pathbreaking film for Tollywood in the range of Siva, Pokiri, and Magadheera."
