Even though night shows are doing better than morning shows the overall footfall remains low.
Mixed reviews affect word of mouth
‘Parasakthi’ is getting mixed reviews from viewers. Some feel the film had strong potential but failed to fully deliver. One social media review said, “The flavour of Parasakthi could’ve been very different had we got Suriya, DQ, Nazriya, and Vijay Verma instead of SK, Atharvaa, Sreeleela, and Ravi Mohan, respectively.” The same review added, “But the film’s biggest undoing is the lacklustre screenplay & dialogues, attributed to a whole bunch of names.” It further said, “A plot like this (dealing with language politics) needs to be emotionally compelling from start to finish..”Another viewer shared a more balanced opinion and wrote, “Parasakthi has all the ingredients of a deeply moving story, and you can feel that potential sitting right there in the material yet a lot of the scenes land with an emotional distance that keeps you from fully sinking into them.”
What lies ahead for ‘Parasakthi’
‘Parasakthi’ is directed by Sudha Kongara. The film stars Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role. Ravi Mohan, Sreeleela, Atharvaa, and Rana Daggubati play important roles.
