With no major rival releases to challenge its domination, the Sudha Kongara-directorial 'Parasakthi' is sailing along across theatres. Sivakarthikeyan's period drama earned around Rs 2.3 crore India nett on its sixth day, with the output from evening shows yet to come, Sacnilk said in a report. It had an overall 17.33% occupancy for morning shows on Thursday, the website added.
'Parasakthi' did well on its first five days at the box office, crossing the Rs 30 crore mark domestically. Domestically, the movie had collected Rs 2.55 crore on Wednesday—its fifth day in theatres.
On the day of its release, 'Parasakthi' had managed an India nett collection of Rs 12.5 crore. It then managed Rs 10.1 crore on Day 2, the first Sunday after it hit the theatres. On Day 3, the collection dropped to Rs 3 crore, and on Day 4, it further declined to Rs 2.6 crore. The fact that it dropped even on a Sunday was a big signal in itself, but the trade continued to be optimistic nevertheless.
'Parasakthi' had an overall 17.33% Tamil occupancy on Thursday, Sacnilk data showed. As reported earlier, the film no longer stands a realistic chance of crossing the Rs 100 crore mark globally—a shocking result when you consider that the opening day alone went over Rs 25 crore. Despite being the second-biggest opener for Sivakarthikeyan, it is safe to conclude that the film has arguably not resonated universally with viewers.
