'The Paradise' review: An ambitious yet emotionally distant period drama starring Nani

Directed by Srikanth Odela, 'The Paradise' features a striking physical transformation by lead actor Nani in a 1980s Secunderabad setting.

The film explores themes of caste oppression and the struggles of a marginalized community named Savaari against powerful antagonists.

Critics noted that despite its gritty visual aesthetic and strong technical elements, the narrative struggles with emotional resonance.
