Parasakthi box office collection day 10: Sivakarthikeyan film steadily nears Rs 50 crore mark amid mixed reviews

Parasakthi, the Sivakarthikeyan-led period political drama, has continued a steady run at the Tamil box office, bringing its India net total close to the Rs 50 crore mark after 10 days of release, though critics and audiences remain divided, and weekday numbers remain moderate.

  • Parasakthi nears Rs 50 crore at Indian box office after 10 days of release
  • Film saw strong opening during Pongal, but weekday growth has slowed
  • Mixed reviews cite strong performances but note pacing and narrative issues

Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi, a Tamil period political action drama directed by Sudha Kongara, is inching closer to the Rs 50 crore net mark at the Indian box office in its 10th day of theatrical release. According to the latest box office trackers, the film’s net total across India stands around ₹49.55 crore, supported by collections from multiple regions after its release on January 10, 2026, during the Pongal festival period — a key window for strong theatrical outings in South Indian cinema.

The Sunday surge over the extended weekend and consistent weekday performances have helped Parasakthi retain traction, although occupancy rates have tapered into the moderate range typical of post-festival weekdays. A Sacnilk report noted that the movie earned a share of its total through over 12,000 shows on Day 10, reflecting continued screening presence even as newer releases enter the market.

The film’s narrative, rooted in the 1965 Anti-Hindi Imposition agitations in Tamil Nadu, blends action with period drama and political themes. Starring Sivakarthikeyan alongside Sreeleela, Ravi Mohan, and Atharvaa in significant roles, Parasakthi has drawn attention for its authentic period detailing and ambitious storyline. Critics and audiences have, however, expressed mixed opinions: while many praised the performances and thematic depth, others highlighted pacing issues and a slow narrative as factors that tempered enthusiasm.

Despite achieving a solid cumulative tally near Rs 50 crore, the film has not seen rapid acceleration beyond its opening momentum, especially when compared to some recent big Tamil releases that leveraged festival windows for blockbuster runs. Estimates indicate that the film’s strong opening weekend — bolstered by Pongal holiday footfalls — accounted for a significant chunk of early revenue, with later weekdays contributing steady but smaller additions.

As Parasakthi moves beyond its 10-day mark, industry analysts will watch how it sustains screens and audience interest in the face of fresh releases. Its final box office outcome will depend on continued regional support and any uptick in weekend attendance that could push the film past the much-anticipated Rs 50 crore threshold.
