Parasakthi Box Office Collection Day 1
Amid mixed reviews, Parasakthi had a slow start at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 12.35 crore in India. It faced stiff competition from Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, which released on Friday.
In Tamil-speaking regions, Parasakthi recorded an overall occupancy of 62.79% on Saturday, January 10. Day 1 Tamil occupancy was 45.71% for morning shows, 62.13% for afternoon shows, 64.26% for evening shows, and 79.04% for night shows.
The film's opening, while decent, failed to surpass the openings of Sivakarthikeyan’s previous films Amaran and Madharaasi. In 2024, Amaran had opened to Rs 24.7 crore, while the 2025 release Madharaasi recorded an opening of Rs 13.65 crore.
Parasakthi's reported budget is around Rs 142 crore.
Parasakthi was initially slated to clash at the box office with Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. However, the latter’s release was postponed due to a censor-related controversy, allowing Parasakthi a relatively clear run. Despite this, the film faced stiff competition from Prabhas' The Raja Saab, which had released on January 9.
