Parasakthi Day 2 Box Office Collection: The Pongal box office is heating up as Sivakarthikeyan’s latest period drama, Parasakthi, continues its strong run. Directed by the acclaimed Sudha Kongara, the film has successfully breached the ₹51 crore mark in worldwide gross collections within just 48 hours of its release.
Despite a slight dip on the second day, the film’s grip on the audience remains firm, bolstered by the festive season and a lack of major competition.
Parasakthi Day 2 Box Office Collection
The production house, Dawn Pictures, took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the milestone, stating: “Pathbreaking through the numbers, Worldwide – 51 Crores for Parasakthi at the Box Office.”
Here is a closer look at how the film performed over its opening weekend:
| Category | Day 1 Collection | Day 2 (Cumulative) |
| India Net | ₹12.5 Crore | ₹22.65 Crore |
| India Gross | – | ₹26.9 Crore |
| Overseas | – | ~₹16 Crore |
| Worldwide Gross | ₹27 Crore | ₹51 Crore |
While trade reports suggest a worldwide figure closer to ₹43–45 crore, the official makers have confirmed the ₹51 crore milestone, likely accounting for late-night shows and early previews in international markets.
A Tale of Activism and Family Loyalty
Set against the backdrop of 1960s Madras, Parasakthi dives deep into the Anti-Hindi Imposition movement. Sivakarthikeyan delivers a powerhouse performance as one of two brothers caught between family loyalty and political activism.
The film marks the much-anticipated Tamil debut of Sreeleela, with Ravi Mohan playing a formidable antagonist. Atharvaa also features in a pivotal role. The path to the big screen wasn’t easy; the film faced a pre-release hurdle with the CBFC, eventually clearing the censors after 25 cuts.
How Does it Compare to SK’s Previous Hits?
While Parasakthi is performing well, it faces stiff competition from Sivakarthikeyan’s own track record:
- vs. Amaran (2024): Amaran remains the leader, having raked in ₹68 crore in its first two days.
- vs. Madharasi: The current film is slightly trailing behind his previous outing, Madharasi.
- vs. Ayalaan: On a positive note, Parasakthi has secured a significantly better opening than his sci-fi hit Ayalaan.

Will it Hit ₹100 Crores?
With a reported budget of ₹140–150 crore, the stakes are high. However, the stars seem to be aligning for the team. The postponement of Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan has given Parasakthi a “solo-run” advantage during the lucrative Pongal holidays.
The film has received generally positive reviews, with particular praise for Sudha Kongara’s direction and the lead performances. If the positive word-of-mouth persists through the holiday week, industry experts predict the film will comfortably enter the ₹100 Crore Club by the end of its first week.
Key Highlight: The film is seeing exceptional traction from the Tamil diaspora in overseas markets, contributing nearly 30% of the total revenue so far.
