Parasakthi Opens After Censor Cuts With Modest Start, Lukewarm Word of Mouth

The CBFC granted a U/A only after roughly 25 edits that the team says were executed in about 10 hours.

Overview

  • The film hit theatres on January 10 in the Pongal window after a last‑minute clearance enabled wider advance booking.
  • Trade tracker Sacnilk pegs Day 1 India net at about ₹11.5–12.35 crore with Tamil occupancy near 63%.
  • Early reactions lean negative on pacing and writing, though Ravi Mohan’s performance and the period detailing earned praise.
  • Sivakarthikeyan said there was little scope to discuss the mandated changes with the board as the team rushed to meet the release date.
  • Reports indicate ZEE5 has the digital rights, with streaming expected roughly six to eight weeks after the theatrical debut.
