The Paradise is a mind-numbingly senseless, hellish cycle of violence, gore, and torture porn that makes you question if everyone involved in the film harbours some sort of bloodlust. Go to Full Review
Monashree Sankar The Federal Sep 30, 2026
The film comes off as too lazy to step out of a tried-and-tested template: a hero questions his birth, discovers his purpose, owns his identity, and eventually fights the system. Go to Full Review
Athulya Nambiar Koimoi Sep 30, 2026
The film came with many expectations, but even without expectations, it does not present itself as a decent commercial film. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix Sep 26, 2026
The Paradise is really cinema hell. It's yet another excessive deluge of repulsive violence (such as a pregnant woman getting tortured), in a vile, idiotic, and over-used story about family feuds and revenge plots. This action flick is irredeemable trash. Go to Full Review
Sangeetha Devi Dundoo The Hindu Sep 24, 2026
There is plenty of rage, violence and desperate cries for help from voices hoping to be heard. What the film lacks, though, is the emotional heft to translate its ambitious ideas into an absorbing narrative. Go to Full Review

1/5
It is not just bogged down with a sense of déjà vu, but is shoddily made, making no attempt to stand apart from similar films that have been hitting screens lately. Go to Full Review

Bhanu Sep 30, 2026 unwanted elevation and graphics in some scenes. Overall Good movie. See more niharika reddy k Sep 27, 2026 a raw and realistic story See more Ramakrishna Sep 26, 2026 worst movie of decade See more Nagendra Sep 25, 2026 100 decibel sound we can't understand the words no clear voice See more Penn Sep 25, 2026 Worst making and over the board acting See more yaswanth Sep 24, 2026 Seeing a lot of negativity around Paradise, but I don’t think it’s that bad. The first half is good and engaging. The second half feels rushed, and some scenes lack proper continuity. That is where the movie loses its impact. Still, the core idea, emotions, and world-building are strong. I feel this could have been a solid blockbuster and matched the hype with better execution and a little more time. Nani is excellent, and the other performances are good too. Overall, it fails a bit on screen, but the idea and performances make it a decent one-time watch. See more Read all reviews
