Parasakthi Box Office Day 10: Sivakarthikeyan Film Hits New Low at ₹56 Crore

Sivakarthikeyan’s much-anticipated Pongal release Parasakthi is struggling at the box office, collecting just ₹1 crore on its crucial second Monday. The historical drama directed by Sudha Kongara has now accumulated ₹56.5 crore in 10 days—a disappointing figure considering the star power and festival advantage.

Parasakthi 10-Day Box Office Breakdown

Why Parasakthi Is Underperforming

The film’s steep 65% drop on its second Monday signals serious trouble. Despite starring popular actor Sivakarthikeyan and being helmed by acclaimed director Sudha Kongara, Parasakthi has been hampered by mixed word-of-mouth from audiences and critics alike.

The period drama co-stars Ravi Mohan as the antagonist, along with Atharvaa, Sreeleela (in her Tamil debut), Dev Ramnath, and Basil Joseph. However, even this stellar ensemble couldn’t save the film from its box office woes. Check out more Tamil cinema box office trends for comparison.

Pongal Clash Impact

Parasakthi released alongside two other Tamil films during the Pongal festival—Vaa Vaathiyaar and Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil. While Jiiva’s political satire has emerged as the surprise winner with phenomenal trends, both Parasakthi and Vaa Vaathiyaar have failed to connect with audiences.
