Nani’s big film ‘The Paradise’, which was released in theaters yesterday, received mixed reviews. Remo Rahim, who played a supporting role in the film, said that he felt ‘mental distress’ after cutting his 7-minute long scene. However, he defended the film and urged the audience to watch the film without looking for ‘logic’ in it.
Remo shared a video in which he and Nani are seen engaging in a fierce fight scene.
Sharing about the scene being cut, he said, “I felt bad. My truck scene in The Paradise is actually 5-7 minutes long. But because of the length of the film, they had to cut it short.”
“Acting in films involves a lot of hard work. When a scene, into which one has poured one’s heart and soul, is cut during editing, the pain and frustration is indescribable. For an actor, facing such a situation causes deep mental anguish,” he added.
Condemning a section of the audience looking for logic in the film, Remo said, “Let’s put it aside. Did you watch the film? Did you like it or not? Tell me. Please go see the film because it’s good and it has a strong theme: motherhood.”
He asked, “No movie will satisfy you if you keep looking for logic. Please watch a movie as a movie. Don’t kill cinema, support it. Everyone is calling it a bad movie, but it’s not at all. Watch it with your family.”
About paradise
The Paradise is directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri and Ishaan Saxena under Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara Cinemas and IVY Entertainment. This is Odela’s second film with Nani after her debut film, Dasara in 2023.
In his review for NDTV, film critic Sable Chatterjee wrote, “The Paradise is a missed opportunity, especially for a director who proved his mettle beyond doubt with his first film. His second, scattered and uneven, is no patch on Dasara.”
“Nani empowers parts of Paradise to enormous levels of intensity. Beyond that, the film stays true to its setting. But its various elements are too scattered and uneven to penetrate and differentiate on the surface.”
