Parasakthi
Overseas
Review:
The
Tamil
period
political
action
drama
Parasakthi
arrived
in
overseas
cinemas
a
few
hours
ahead
of
its
Tamil
Nadu
release,
with
early
premieres
held
in
key
international
markets
such
as
the
United
States.
The
film
opened
in
theaters
on
January
10,
2026,
coinciding
with
the
Pongal
festival
week,
a
window
traditionally
considered
significant
for
Tamil
cinema.
Directed
by
Sudha
Kongara
and
produced
by
Aakash
Baskaran
under
the
Dawn
Pictures
banner,
the
film
is
set
against
the
socio-political
backdrop
of
the
1960s.
The
film
features
Sivakarthikeyan
and
Ravi
Mohan
in
prominent
roles,
alongside
Atharvaa
and
Sreeleela,
marking
Sreeleela’s
Tamil
debut.
The
ensemble
cast
also
includes
Dev
Ramnath,
Prithvi
Rajan,
Guru
Somasundaram,
Basil
Joseph,
Papri
Ghosh,
and
Rana
Daggubati.
Following
the
overseas
premieres,
viewers
who
attended
these
early
screenings
began
sharing
their
immediate
reactions
online.
As
is
often
the
case
with
major
releases,
social
media
platform
X
(formerly
Twitter)
became
the
primary
space
where
overseas
audiences
posted
first
impressions
soon
after
the
shows
ended.
The
following
are
select
early
reactions
posted
online
by
audiences
who
watched
the
film
at
its
overseas
screenings.
#Parasakthi Dull 1st Half!
Film jumps straight into the story with an authentic period setup, but drags right after the setup with a very slow narration and a filler love track that takes up most of the time and is boring. Interval is ok. 2nd half awaits!

It
is
worth
noting
that
these
early
overseas
reactions
represent
a
small
sample
size
and
largely
consist
of
spontaneous,
individual
responses
rather
than
comprehensive
reviews.
Full-fledged
critical
assessments
are
expected
after
the
film
completes
wider
screenings
in
India
and
abroad.
Parasakthi
Technical
Crew
From
a
technical
standpoint,
Parasakthi
brings
together
several
established
names.
The
film’s
music
is
composed
by
G.
V.
Prakash
Kumar,
while
cinematography
is
handled
by
Ravi
K.
Chandran,
with
editing
by
Sathish
Suriya.
The
screenplay
is
written
by
Sudha
Kongara
and
Arjun
Nadesan,
with
expert
consultation
credited
to
Professor
Dr.
A.
Ramasamy,
reflecting
the
film’s
period
and
political
setting.
As
of
now,
the
conversation
around
Parasakthi
remains
centered
on
these
initial
reactions
from
early
viewers.
Box
office
trends,
broader
audience
response,
and
critical
evaluations
are
expected
to
become
clearer
in
the
coming
hours
and
days
as
the
film’s
theatrical
run
progresses
across
regions.
