Parasakthi Film Depicts 1965 Tamil Nadu Agitations Amid Box Office and Controversy

The Tamil political drama Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sreeleela, depicts the 1965 anti-Hindi agitations in Tamil Nadu. Released on January 9-10 after censor delays and edits, the film has earned around Rs 28 crore net in India by day four, with a worldwide collection of Rs 48 crore. The Tamil Nadu Youth Congress has demanded a ban, alleging the film distorts historical events and defames the Indian National Congress, while the filmmakers highlight its political narrative and cast performances.
