Parasakthi is a political historical drama set in 1960s Tamil Nadu and tells the story of Chezhaiyan, also known as Che, a young, peace-loving man. He works in the railways and is the sole breadwinner for his family, taking care of his younger brother, Chinna Durai, a college student and activist.
As civil conflict takes center stage, Chinna actively fights against systemic oppression, even if her brother disagrees. However, things take a serious turn when a ruthless police officer named Thirunadan emerges, who serves the government and uses police brutality to suppress protests.
Amidst all this, Che undergoes a significant shift in his psyche due to a life-changing event, which leads him to stand up to the protests that his brother was a part of. How Che’s life changes over time, his relationship with his siblings and the challenges he faces form the core of the film.
