Parasakthi

Set during a period of civil disobedience in the old Madras state, Parasakthi follows a sharp, strategic police officer who arrives to quash a growing maelstrom of dissent. Chezhiyan, a dependable fireman, keeps his head down and tends to his community, while his brother Chinndurai is pulled toward rebellion and risking everything for a cause. When the state clamps down, Chezhiyan finds his tranquil life upended as he is drawn into a dangerous clash with those who would overturn the status quo. The pursuit becomes a test of loyalty, courage, and responsibility as the brothers move through a widening web of friends and foes. The film builds toward a decisive clash where ordinary people fight for justice in a world ruled by power.

Directed by Sudha Kongara Prasad, Parasakthi taps an original concept by Dev Ramnath, Yugabharathi and Ekadesi. The project situates a historical mood within contemporary cinema, pairing Sivakarthikeyan with an ensemble cast to bring a range of characters to life against a richly detailed late colonial setting.

Box office data for Parasakthi has not been publicly disclosed yet, and there is no reliable worldwide gross available at this time. The film’s commercial trajectory will likely depend on its reception in theaters and streaming, as well as audience response to its historical scope.

As of now there are no announced major awards for Parasakthi, and no nominations have been publicly reported. If it garners recognition, it would likely focus on its production design, performances, and its handling of a turbulent historical period.

Early discussions hint that the film scrutinizes the tension between duty and family, the cost of collective resistance, and the moral gray zones that surface when power is challenged. Performances by Sivakarthikeyan and the supporting cast are expected to anchor a layered drama that blends history with personal courage.
