Parasakthi Box Office Collection Day 1 Update: Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Parasakthi opened in theatres on Saturday to mixed reviews. According to Sacnilk, the film minted Rs 11.5 crore on Day 1.
The film suffered from uncertainty around its release, as it received CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) clearance only on Friday, with the board granting it a U/A certificate at the last minute.

Parasakthi, however, faced stiff competition from Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, which released in theatres on Friday. Despite receiving mixed reviews, The Raja Saab minted Rs 63.3 crore on its opening day. The film had already earned around Rs 10 crore during preview shows, which added to its opening day collections. In the Hindi market, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar continues its strong dominance at the box office as even in its sixth week, the film managed to earn over Rs 3 crore on Friday.
Earlier, Vijay’s swansong Jana Nayagan was also scheduled to release on January 9. However, the film was postponed due to “unavoidable circumstances,” specifically issues related to obtaining the necessary certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in India. This delay worked in Parasakthi’s favour. The film’s reported budget is around Rs 142 crore.
Parasakthi is directed by Sudha Kongara, who last helmed Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira, which turned out to be a failure at the box office. The film is produced by Dawn Pictures. Parasakthi also marks Sreeleela’s Tamil debut, while Ravi Mohan plays the role of the antagonist in the film. It also stars Atharvaa, along with Dev Ramnath, Prithvi Rajan, Guru Somasundaram, Basil Joseph, Papri Ghosh, and Rana Daggubati.
