Parasakthi Falters at Box Office as Filmmakers Decry Organised Fan Attacks

After a last-minute certificate, the film’s early slide revives claims of coordinated trolling.

Overview

  • By day four, Parasakthi has tallied roughly Rs 28 crore in India, with day-four earnings near Rs 2.40 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.
  • Exhibitors have dropped about 613 shows nationwide as overall Tamil occupancy hovered near 12.5% on Tuesday, Sacnilk data shows.
  • Director Sudha Kongara characterises online backlash as slander from anonymous accounts linked to rival Vijay supporters, citing posts urging an apology to fans.
  • Actor-producer Dev Ramnath alleges coordinated downrating, resurfaced old clips, political sloganeering in theatres, and BookMyShow rating manipulation, sharing screenshots on X.
  • The film secured CBFC clearance reportedly less than 18 hours before release with over 25 cuts and a UA16+ certificate, as Jana Nayagan’s delay left Parasakthi with an open festive window.
