Sivakarthikeyan and Sudha Kongara’s much-discussed Tamil film Parasakthi has officially wrapped up its theatrical journey, and the final box office numbers paint a disappointing picture. As reported by Pinkvilla, the film concluded its worldwide run with collections of around Rs 83 crore, falling short of industry expectations and resulting in an overall commercial failure.
Despite strong pre-release buzz and high expectations due to the actor-director combination, Parasakthi struggled to sustain momentum beyond its opening phase. While the initial days saw reasonable footfalls, audience turnout dropped significantly in the following weeks, affecting the film’s long-term box office performance.
Parasakthi Worldwide Box Office Collection (Closing Figures)
| Region | Collection |
|---|---|
| India Gross | ₹68.50 crore |
| Overseas Gross | ₹14.50 crore |
| Total Worldwide Gross | ₹83.00 crore |
The domestic box office contributed the majority of the earnings, with Tamil Nadu being the strongest market. However, collections in other regions remained limited. Overseas markets added some support, but the numbers were not substantial enough to offset the weak overall trend.
Budget vs Verdict
| Estimated Budget | Worldwide Gross | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| ₹110–120 crore | ₹83 crore | Flop |
Given its high production cost, the film failed to recover its investment through theatrical revenue. Trade analysts cited mixed audience feedback and lack of repeat value as major reasons behind the sharp drop after the first week.
When compared to Sivakarthikeyan’s earlier successful films such as Doctor and Don, Parasakthi’s performance stands out as a rare setback at the box office. While the film had strong content ambition, it could not translate that into sustained audience interest.
With the theatrical run now over, attention will shift to the film’s digital and satellite releases, where it may find a wider audience and recover part of its losses through non-theatrical revenue streams.
