Parasakthi is a Tamil political action drama directed by Sudha Kongara. It released in theatres on January 10, 2026, during Pongal.
Story in simple terms:
Set in 1959 Madras State (now Tamil Nadu), the film follows two brothers — Chezhiyan (a former student leader, played by Sivakarthikeyan) and his younger brother Chinnadurai (an engineering student). Chinnadurai gets pulled into the powerful anti-Hindi imposition movement (fight against forcing Hindi on Tamil people), even as his brother has stepped back from activism. An intelligence officer watches their group closely. The story mixes personal family drama with big themes of language, identity, self-respect, and politics from that era.

This gives more people a chance to watch it at home, especially those who missed it in cinemas.
The film continues to spark talks about history, politics, and Tamil pride through cinema.
