Parasakthi Box Office: Sivakarthikeyan's Political Drama Secures a Solid Start

Directed by the acclaimed Sudha Kongara, the highly anticipated Tamil historical political drama Parasakthi made its theatrical debut yesterday, January 10, 2026.The film arrived amidst high expectations and significant pre-release buzz, particularly as it marks a departure from lead actor Sivakarthikeyan's usual commercial roles into a more intense, content-driven narrative.Despite facing last-minute hurdles with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and concerns regarding a crowded January release window, the movie has managed to capture the audience's attention across the state.

According to early estimates, Parasakthi has collected approximately ₹12.35 crore India Net and ₹14.75 crore India Gross on its opening day, while the overseas collection is around 10 crore. It is important to note that these figures are based on initial tracking and early estimates; the final figures may vary slightly as official data from all territories is consolidated. The film recorded an impressive overall Tamil occupancy of around 62.79% on Saturday, with night shows peaking at nearly 79%, indicating strong word-of-mouth that could propel the film through the rest of the Pongal week.

 

The film features a stellar ensemble cast, including Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role of Chezhiyan and Ravi Mohan (Jayam Ravi) as Thirunaadan. It also marks the highly anticipated Tamil debut of actress Sreeleela, who plays Rathnamala.The cast is further bolstered by Atharvaa Murali, Rana Daggubati and Basil Joseph in a cameo role, and a host of veteran actors like Prakash Belawadi and Guru Somasundaram.Set against the turbulent backdrop of the 1960s anti-Hindi imposition agitations in Madras State, the story explores the personal and political struggles of two brothers during a defining chapter of Tamil Nadu's history.

Produced by Aakash Baskaran of Dawn Pictures, the film boasts high production values with music composed by G. V.Prakash Kumar and cinematography by the veteran Ravi K. Chandran. Parasakthi benefited significantly from a solo release window following the postponement of Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan, allowing it to secure extensive screen space across Tamil Nadu. While critics have offered mixed reviews regarding its pacing, the performances and the authentic recreation of the 1960s era have been widely praised, setting the stage for a competitive box office run in the coming days.

Vijay's Jana Nayagan Postponed: A Big Advantage For Sivakarthikeyan-Starrer Parasakthi

Chennai, January 7 - Thalapathy Vijay's much-anticipated political action drama Jana Nayagan has officially been postponed, and the development could turn out to be a massive advantage for Sivakarthikeyan's upcoming film Parasakthi, which is scheduled to release on January 10 amid solid buzz. Over the past few days, multiple reports have suggested that Jana Nayagan might miss its planned release date due to ongoing censorship issues. After CBFC failed to provide a certificate with only a day left before release, the makers approached the Madras High Court, which has reserved its order, which will only be pronounced on January 9, on the same day as Jana Nayagan is scheduled for release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With Jana Nayagan getting postponed, Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi, which is also facing censor delay, stands to benefit the most. The film has already created history with its trailer, which emerged as the most-viewed Tamil trailer in the first 24 hours, beating Jana Nayagan's earlier record. This strong digital response clearly indicates massive audience interest. With no major Vijay release around the same window, Parasakthi could enjoy a cleaner box office run, especially in Tamil Nadu, where clashes between top stars often split screens and footfalls. A Vijay film typically dominates theatres with maximum screen allocation and show counts. In the absence of Jana Nayagan, Parasakthi will now secure much better screen penetration across Tamil Nadu. Sivakarthikeyan has been steadily consolidating his position as a bankable star, and Parasakthi appears to be another crucial step in that journey. With mounting hype, record-breaking trailer views, and now a possible clash-free release window, especially in Tamil Nadu, the film is shaping up to be one of the biggest Tamil releases of the year.

Parasakthi Preponed: Sivakarthikeyan Starrer Set for a Massive Clash with Vijay's Jana Nayagan;

According to reports, the makers of Parasakthi have preponed the film's theatrical release to January 10, 2026 (Saturday). The Sivakarthikeyan starrer was originally slated for a January 14 release, but it is now reported to arrive just a day after Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. This strategic move sets up one of the biggest box office battles in recent history, as the film will now land just 24 hours after Thalapathy Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan, which is scheduled for January 9. According to the latest reports from overseas and domestic distributors, Parasakthi is all set for a grand worldwide release with equal showcasing alongside Jana Nayagan. This ensures that despite the heavy competition, Sivakarthikeyan's milestone 25th film will have a significant screen count across all major territories. The production team is reportedly ecstatic after a private screening of the film. Insiders describe the project as a SURESHOT theatrical winner. To keep the narrative tight and engaging, the film has been locked with a crisp runtime of 2 hours and 35 minutes (155 minutes), a duration considered ideal for a high octane political drama. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In a bid to capture the massive Telugu market, the Telugu version of Parasakthi is also planned to release first, strategically arriving ahead of the heavy slew of local Sankranti releases. By moving to January 10, the film aims to capitalize on the extended festive weekend and the massive footfalls expected during the Pongal/Sankranti holidays. With Jana Nayagan carrying the Final Film emotional weight for Vijay fans and Parasakthi representing a career best effort for Sivakarthikeyan under Sudha Kongara's direction, the January weekend is poised to be historic.
