Parasakthi Box Office Day 9: Steady Performance Amid Mixed Reviews
Parasakthi, a Tamil movie about a historical political event, had a steady but not very strong performance at the box office on its 9th day.
It made about ₹1.76 crore on that day, adding to its total of ₹47.86 crore.
The movie had different levels of popularity in different cities, with Pondicherry showing the most support.
Some people liked the movie's story and acting, but others thought it was slow and didn't accurately show historical events.
There's also a debate about whether the movie correctly shows what happened in history, with some people saying it got things wrong and should be changed or even face legal action.
Parasakthi earned approximately ₹1.76 crore on Day 9, bringing its total India net collection to around ₹47.86 crore.
Occupancy varied widely across showtimes, with morning shows at 17.66%, afternoon at 37.18%, and evening at 35.48%.
The film received mixed critical and audience reviews, with praise for its premise and criticism for pacing and historical accuracy.
The Tamil Nadu Youth Congress accused the film of distorting historical facts and called for the removal of certain scenes.
Parasakthi faced delays in securing a censor certificate and underwent 25 cuts before its release.
