Parasakthi Box Office Bomb: 150 Cr Budget, Only 32% Recovery
19 Jan
Summary
- The historical political drama has recovered just 32.5% of its 150 crore investment.
- Collections saw a significant 45% drop on its second Sunday.
- It is poised to become the first major Tamil cinema disaster of 2026.
The Tamil historical political drama "Parasakthi," starring Sivakarthikeyan, has encountered significant setbacks at the box office. Despite an extensive budget of 150 crores, the film has struggled to recoup its investments, managing to recover only 32.5% of the reported costs within its first nine days. The cumulative net collection stands at 48.75 crore in India.
"Parasakthi" witnessed a concerning decline in ticket sales, with its second Sunday collections dropping by 45% compared to the previous Saturday. This trend indicates a lack of sustained audience interest following the initial Pongal holiday period. The film's performance places it as Sivakarthikeyan's second-lowest grosser in the post-COVID era.
With an uphill battle against competing releases, "Parasakthi" is being projected as the first major cinematic disaster of 2026 in the Tamil film industry. While it has an opportunity to surpass the lifetime domestic collection of Sivakarthikeyan's previous film, "Ayalaan" (49.68 crores), its current trajectory suggests a difficult path ahead.
