Sudha Kongara's "Parasakthi" depicts the anti-Hindi agitations in Tamil Nadu during the 1950s and '60s, focusing on student revolutionary Chezhiyan and his conflict with the ruthless officer Thirunaadan. While the film highlights the importance of mother tongue and protest as a democratic right, reviews suggest its powerful message is sometimes undercut by weak writing, uneven pacing, and underdeveloped characters, despite strong performances from Sivakarthikeyan and Ravi Mohan.
