Parasakthi Box Office Collection Day 2: Sivakarthikeyan's Period Action Drama Crosses ₹22 Crore India Net

Parasakthi Box Office Collection: The Tamil period political action drama Parasakthi continues its theatrical run following its release on January 10, 2026, during the Pongal festive week. Headlined by Sivakarthikeyan, the film has completed its first two days in cinemas, with early box office estimates pointing to a moderate opening at the domestic box office. As of January 12, the film has entered its third day in theaters, with updated figures expected later in the day.

According to box office tracking platform Sacnilk, Parasakthi has collected an estimated ₹22.65 crore net in India across its first two days. The film opened on Saturday with approximately ₹12.5 crore, followed by an estimated ₹10.15 crore on Sunday. The second-day figure, currently marked as rough data, reflects a drop compared to its opening day.

The collections so far suggest a moderate start rather than a front-loaded performance. With Pongal holidays still ongoing in Tamil Nadu, the film's performance on Day 3 (Monday) is expected to provide clearer insight into how it is holding beyond the opening weekend.

Story Context, Ensemble Cast, and Performance Outlook

Directed by Sudha Kongara, Parasakthi is set in Tamil Nadu during the 1960s, against the backdrop of widespread protests opposing the imposition of Hindi as an official language. The narrative follows Chezhiyan, a young man who becomes actively involved in the agitation due to his belief that language is closely tied to dignity and daily life. Running parallel to his story is that of his younger brother Chinna, who begins as politically disengaged but gradually becomes aware of how language policies affect ordinary citizens. Through the brothers' differing responses, the film explores themes of identity, resistance, and social change.

Alongside Sivakarthikeyan, the film features Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela, who makes her Tamil debut with this project. The ensemble cast also includes Dev Ramnath, Prithvi Rajan, Guru Somasundaram, Basil Joseph, and Papri Ghosh in supporting roles.

The film is produced by Aakash Baskaran under the Dawn Pictures banner. Music has been composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, with cinematography handled by Ravi K. Chandran and editing by Sathish Suriya.

With its third day currently underway, attention will be on how Parasakthi performs during the weekday period and whether word-of-mouth sustains footfalls beyond the festive opening. Updated Day 3 figures are expected to offer a clearer picture of the film's box office trajectory in the days ahead.
