About ‘Parasakthi’
Set against the backdrop of the 1960s, “Parasakthi” is based on the real-life student agitations in Tamil Nadu against the imposition of Hindi Language. Featuring personal dilemmas unfolding amid a meaningful political backdrop, the film strives to chronicle the period’s tribulations. Even though the film courted mixed reviews for the implementation part, its content-driven plot and the retro theme coupled with the off-screen controversies have kept the film alive in the theatres.

By crossing the Rs. 100 crore threshold, 'Parasakthi' has officially become the fifth film in Sivakarthikeyan’s career to enter this prestigious box office bracket.
