Parasakthi Box Office Collection Day 8: Sivakarthikeyan’s Period Action Film Crosses ₹46 Crore India Net

Parasakthi Box Office Collection: Parasakthi, the Tamil period political action drama directed by Sudha Kongara, has completed eight days at the domestic box office and entered its ninth day in cinemas today, January 18. The film was released theatrically on January 10, 2026, during the Pongal festive week, positioning itself among the major holiday releases in Tamil Nadu and other key markets.

According to figures reported by box office tracking portal Sacnilk, Parasakthi has collected an estimated ₹46.1 crore India net from its first eight days of theatrical run. The reported numbers include the opening weekend, the first weekday stretch, and the second Saturday, with Day 8 figures currently based on rough estimates.

The film opened strongly on its first Saturday with ₹12.5 crore, followed by ₹10.1 crore on Sunday. Collections saw a sharp decline on Monday, with Day 3 bringing in ₹3 crore. The midweek phase remained relatively steady, with Tuesday and Wednesday contributing ₹2.6 crore and ₹2.55 crore, respectively. Thursday saw a notable jump to ₹5.5 crore, helping the film close its first week at ₹36.25 crore India net.

In the second week, Parasakthi continued to register consistent footfalls. Day 7 (Friday) added ₹5 crore, while Day 8 (Saturday) contributed an estimated ₹4.85 crore, taking the cumulative total to ₹46.1 crore India net. With the film now running on Day 9, trade circles are watching how it holds through the remainder of the second weekend and into the upcoming weekdays.

Story Background, Cast, and Second-Week Box Office Outlook

Set in Tamil Nadu during the 1960s, Parasakthi is rooted in the backdrop of protests against the imposition of Hindi as an official language. The narrative follows two brothers whose lives intersect with the movement in different ways, reflecting contrasting responses to questions of language, identity, and social access.

The film stars Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela, with supporting roles played by Dev Ramnath, Prithvi Rajan, Guru Somasundaram, Basil Joseph, and Papri Ghosh. The project is produced by Aakash Baskaran under the Dawn Pictures banner.

Music for Parasakthi has been composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, while cinematography is handled by Ravi K. Chandran and editing by Sathish Suriya. The technical team also includes action choreographer Supreme Sundar and production designer M. R. Karthik Rajkumar.

As Parasakthi progresses through its second weekend, the coming days are expected to provide a clearer picture of its sustained box office performance beyond the initial festive phase.
