Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi got a major boost after Jana Nayagan's postponement, but it hasn't translated to big numbers. Despite high expectations, the film has received mixed reviews and is struggling at the box office. The Pongal festival advantage and lack of competition haven't helped, with the film collecting ₹43 crore gross in Tamil Nadu and ₹70 crore worldwide in its first week.
The film's numbers are underwhelming, considering its ₹150 crore budget. It earned ₹5 crore on day 7, with some improvement due to Pongal holidays. Expectations were high, with predictions of ₹200 crore gross, but now even reaching ₹125 crore seems tough. This is another disappointment for Sivakarthikeyan after Madharaasi, with his big budget films failing to impress audiences.
Parasakthi's poor performance is a setback, and it's uncertain how much deficit it'll incur. The film's success is now out of question, and it's a worrying trend for Sivakarthikeyan's future projects. Sudha Kongara's direction and the cast's efforts haven't been enough to make the film a hit.
The lack of competition hasn't helped Parasakthi, and it's struggling to stay afloat. The film's numbers are a disappointment, given the hype and expectations. It's a tough time for Sivakarthikeyan, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what's next for the actor. This poor performance also raising doubts about its Telugu release which was scheduled for Pongal but pushed due to heavy competition from Tollywood films.
