Nani’s Telugu action drama The Paradise lands on Netflix on October 22, 2026, four weeks after it opened in cinemas. The streaming service has said the film, directed by Srikanth Odela, will stream in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
A theatrical hit goes straight to the shelf
For viewers in Kerala, the Malayalam track is the notable part. Netflix has explicitly confirmed it as one of the five languages, and Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films handled the film’s theatrical release in the state. Anyone who saw it on a big screen there can now find it in their own language at home.
The Paradise opened worldwide on September 24, 2026, and a reported 88 crore rupees came in on day one. Box office updates put the four-day worldwide total at 155 crore rupees. Nani plays Jadal, a man caught up in conflict and bruising confrontations. Raghav Juyal appears as an antagonist, Kayadu Lohar is in the cast, and Anirudh Ravichander composed the music. Odela and Nani worked together before on Dasara.
The release fits a pattern. Netflix reports 325 million paid memberships in more than 190 countries, and a film that has already done well in Indian theatres reaches that base without a separate international rollout. Analysts note that regional stars once depended largely on local runs and diaspora screenings for audiences abroad.
What else is on the October slate
Other Indian titles share the month’s schedule. Gajab Raat is reported for October 23 and Akka is set for October 30. Dorothy and Dhoomakethu have been linked to possible October 23 premieres, though those dates are unconfirmed.
Netflix itself began in 1997 as a DVD-by-mail rental business in Scotts Valley, California, founded by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings. It launched streaming in January 2007 and now draws a large part of its catalogue from acquired films as well as its own productions.
Outside India, the Spanish film La Bola Negra won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Netflix says it is the first Netflix title to take that prize and the first international film to win it in 15 years. The film, directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, also won the Audience Award at San Sebastian and is Spain’s submission for the International Feature Oscar. It reaches Netflix in the US and Canada on December 2.
