Love it or hate it, Parasakthi is clearly doing something right at the box office.
Despite the film opening to divided opinions and plenty of online noise, it has gone on to collect over ₹75 crores worldwide — a figure that many didn’t see coming once early reviews began pouring in. The India gross stands at ₹53 crores, while overseas markets have chipped in a healthy ₹22 crores, pushing the film comfortably past the ₹75 crore mark.
What makes this run stand out is how disconnected it feels from the “review culture” that usually dominates release weekends. Parasakthi was never unanimously celebrated. Some viewers connected deeply with its emotion and intent, others felt it could have been tighter or more restrained. But instead of the conversation hurting the film, it seems to have fueled curiosity. People wanted to see what the fuss was about — and they showed up.
On home turf, the film has found solid footing beyond the initial rush. Word-of-mouth may not have been glowing across the board, but it was strong enough in pockets to keep theatres ticking, especially in centres where emotional storytelling still draws crowds. The ₹53 crore India total reflects steady footfalls rather than a one-day spike, and that’s often a better sign of real audience interest.
The overseas performance is equally telling. With ₹22 crores coming in from abroad, Parasakthi has clearly resonated with the diaspora. Films driven by emotion and cultural themes don’t always translate seamlessly outside India, but here, familiarity and nostalgia seem to have worked in the film’s favour.
In today’s climate, where films either explode on day one or vanish within a week, Parasakthi has taken a quieter, more old-school route — staying afloat, holding screens, and adding numbers gradually. It may not be the season’s loudest success story, but it’s a genuine one.
At a time when box office verdicts are often decided by opening-day hashtags, Parasakthi proves that audience behaviour is still unpredictable. Mixed talk doesn’t always mean rejection, and a film doesn’t need universal approval to make serious money.
₹75 crores worldwide is not accidental. It’s the result of sustained interest, debate, and a film that enough people felt was worth their ticket money. For all the divided opinions surrounding it, Parasakthi has quietly turned into a box office statement — and that, more than anything else, is hard to ignore.
