Zee5 Streams Uncensored Tamil Cut of Parasakthi in India After Theatrical Censor Edits

The platform switched to the original version following viewer complaints about muted dialogue in its initial OTT upload.

Overview

  • Zee5 confirmed on February 12 that the uncensored Tamil version is now available, writing, "We heard you all! Uncensored is finally here!"
  • The service first premiered the censored cut on February 7, and subscribers quickly flagged muted and altered lines.
  • For cinemas, the CBFC mandated 25 changes and referred the film to a revising committee before granting a UA certificate.
  • The required edits included muting 11 phrases, modifying Hindi-related lines, removing an effigy-burning visual, and reducing violent scenes, with the cut list arriving just two days before release.
  • Directed by Sudha Kongara and starring Sivakarthikeyan, the political action drama opened during Pongal, with producers citing over ₹100 crore worldwide and reports noting uncut overseas theatrical prints.
