Parasakthi

In Tamil Nadu in the mid-sixties, protests grow against Hindi being declared the country's official language. Two brothers are inside the movement and come up against a brutal intelligence officer. The issue is not language but the identity language carries. Sudha Kongara directed. The cast includes Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa and Sreeleela. The music is by G. V. Prakash Kumar. It opened on 10 January 2026, runs one hundred and sixty-two minutes and was made on a budget very high by Tamil standards. The source is real: the anti-Hindi agitations of 1965, a turning point that still shapes politics in Tamil Nadu. It caused argument before release; the director criticised the censorship process and the campaigns against the film openly. The telling joins the mainstream action template to political history, with the mass protest sequences its widest passages. Who it is for: viewers who like political history films and Tamil mainstream cinema. Who it is not for: anyone without the context; the film assumes you know the politics of the period.
