Parasakthi's Box Office Performance and Political Controversy
Parasakthi, a movie starring Sivakarthikeyan, had a mixed start at the box office.
It made Rs 12.5 crore on the first day, but the money it made dropped a lot on the next days.
By the fourth day, it only made Rs 2.40 crore, and many shows were canceled.
The movie is about language politics and old conflicts.
It's not doing well overall, but the actor is happy with the response.
The movie also got into trouble because some people think it shows history in a wrong way.
The director says she used real events but made them interesting for the movie.
Some political leaders want certain scenes to be removed.
The movie was also stuck in censor limbo but was granted a UA certificate with 25 edits.
The actor is in Delhi celebrating Pongal and is excited to meet the Prime Minister.
Another movie, Jana Nayagan, is also facing problems with the censor board and might not release on time.
Parasakthi earned Rs 28.15 crore in four days, with Rs 2.40 crore on the fourth day.
The film's occupancy dropped to 12.50% overall on its fourth day, leading to over 600 shows being dropped.
The Tamil Nadu Youth Congress demands removal of scenes depicting Congress leaders, alleging historical distortion.
Director Sudha Kongara defends the film, stating she blended historical facts with creative liberty.
Sivakarthikeyan met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a Pongal celebration in Delhi.
