'Parasakthi' Box Office Below Expectations

Sivakarthikeyan's film 'Parasakthi,' released on January 10th, generated significant pre-release hype due to its politically charged theme set against the 1965 anti-Hindi protests. However, its opening day box office collection in India was Rs 0.71 crore, a figure that fell below initial trade expert estimations. This lower-than-expected turnout has been attributed to factors like early morning shows and screen availability in certain regions.

Despite the financial shortfall, moviegoers largely applauded the film's performances, particularly from Sivakarthikeyan and Atharvaa, and acknowledged the strong technical execution including GV Prakash's music and Ravi K. Chandran's cinematography. The narrative, which places brothers at odds over the Hindi language imposition, has sparked audience discussion. Sreeleela's Tamil debut and Ravi Mohan's antagonist role have also received attention, though some pacing issues were noted.
