Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, was released in theaters on January 10, 2026, coinciding with Pongal this year. The historical drama has grossed approximately Rs 27 crore worldwide.

With this total earning, the Sudha Kongara directorial has opened with solid numbers at the box office. The film has earned Rs 12 crore in Tamil Nadu, followed by Rs 1.8 crore in Karnataka. Considering the pan India collections, the film has collected Rs 14.5 crore domestically.

Meanwhile, overseas collections have also opened with a strong trend. North America recorded an estimated contribution of US$350,000, while the Middle East contributed US$340,000. The UK and Europe are reported to have collected US$270,000.

Additionally, with collections from Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand and rest of the world, the film has grossed US$1.36 million, taking the total overseas collection to around Rs 12.3 crore.

With the launch of Parashakthi during the Pongal week, the film enjoys an extended holiday window and is expected to deliver solid returns. As Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayakan has been postponed from its original release date and is out of the festival race, Parasakthi has grabbed a strong chance of doing well at the box office.
