Sudha Kongara’s ambitious period drama starring Sivakarthikeyan hits a roadblock as collections dip below ₹1 crore mark on second Tuesday.
Parasakthi Box Office Snapshot
| Metric | Performance |
|---|---|
| Day 11 Collection | ₹0.65 crore |
| Total India Gross (11 days) | ₹57.35 crore |
| Worldwide Collection | ₹79.55 crore |
| Day-on-Day Drop (Tuesday) | 35% |

The Collections Breakdown
Parasakthi, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Sudha Kongara, is experiencing a concerning downward trend. After a promising opening week that garnered ₹41.70 crore, the film’s second week shows significant fatigue.
The historical drama, featuring Sivakarthikeyan and Ravi Mohan in leading roles, recorded its lowest single-day collection on its eleventh day. With just ₹65 lakh added on the second Tuesday, the film has slipped under the crucial ₹1 crore daily threshold for the first time.
Regional Performance Analysis
Tamil Nadu remains the stronghold with ₹51.25 crore, accounting for nearly 90% of domestic collections. Karnataka contributed ₹4.10 crore, while other Indian territories added around ₹2 crore. The overseas market has been relatively kind, bringing in ₹22.20 crore to push the worldwide total past ₹79 crore.
What’s Affecting Parasakthi?
The mixed word-of-mouth has clearly impacted the film’s longevity. While Sivakarthikeyan’s performance and the period setting earned praise, the narrative’s slow pace hasn’t resonated with mass audiences expecting typical commercial entertainment.
Comparing it to other Pongal releases, Parasakthi performed better than Vaa Vaathiyaar but fell short of pre-release expectations set for a Sivakarthikeyan-Sudha Kongara collaboration.
Second Week Collections
- 2nd Friday: ₹5.75 crore
- 2nd Saturday: ₹5.50 crore
- 2nd Sunday: ₹2.75 crore
- 2nd Monday: ₹1.00 crore
- 2nd Tuesday: ₹0.65 crore
The Cast & Crew Factor
Beyond the lead actors, the film features a stellar ensemble including Atharvaa, Sreeleela (Tamil debut), Dev Ramnath, and Prithvi Rajan. Despite the talent pool and Dawn Pictures’ promotional push, audience reception hasn’t translated into sustained box office numbers.
Final Verdict
With theatrical momentum clearly waning, Parasakthi is expected to conclude its run around ₹65-70 crore in India. While not a disaster, the film underperforms relative to its star power and production scale. The overseas collections provide some relief, but domestically, this Pongal release needed stronger weekday holds.
