Sudha Kongara directs the film that has Sivakarthikeyan returning to back a politically charged film and Ravi Mohan as the antagonist. Released in Tamil Nadu hoping for a boost due to the festive season, the opening day box office collection was good for a film’s first day. ‘Parasakthi’ has reportedly raked in Rs 12.35 crore on Day 1 (Saturday), primarily due to impressive collections in urban areas and strong pre-release bookings driven by intrigue related to its theme.Parasakthi Movie Review
Sunday dip signals mixed word of mouth
According to the box office numbers collected by Sacnilk, the overall collection dropped on Day 2. ‘Parasakthi’ raked in Rs 2.52 crore (early estimates) on its opening weekend Sunday, making the overall domestic collection Rs 14.87 crore. The overall occupancy in Tamil for this film is reported to be 35.15 on Sunday as per Sacnilk. Overall news is mixed during the day. While metro multiplexes have seen steady growth, the collections at several centres appear to have slowed after the opening circuit. The drop on Sunday shows that the movie’s word of mouth is still denting and that audiences are taking time to discover its challenging political content rather than hurling it at social media.
Political core drive the narrative
‘Parasakthi’ has an ensemble star cast including Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role along with supporting actors Ravi Mohan, Sreeleela, and Atharvaa. The music is composed by GV Prakash Kumar and directed by Ravi K Chandran. It has a period-drama setting with contemporary politics, celebrating the anti-Hindi imposition protests of the 1960s and incorporating a historical event into a fictionalized depiction. Directed by Sudha Kongara, this film emphasizes its intended political nature, the theme of making martyrs, and protests since it wants to be commercially viable.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
