Parasakthi On OTT: After overcoming censorship hurdles and a controversy surrounding its planned box office clash with Thalapathy Vijay starrer Jana Nayagan on Pongal, Sivakarthikeyan's politically charged drama Parasakthi released on January 10. The movie is directed by Sudha Kongara of Soorarai Pottru fame. The initial box office run of the film has been a bit underwhelming and this is despite Parasakthi managing to get a solo release.

Many are curious about the movie's OTT release date.

What is the story of Parasakthi?

The film follows the anti-Hindi imposition movement of 1965 in Tamil Nadu and the protests that rocked the state in its aftermath. The movie also stars Ravi Mohan as the antagonist, Atharvaa and Sreeleela. Many in South India (particularly in Tamil Nadu) feared that Hindi would be imposed as the sole official language. They believed it would marginalise regional languages and cultures. What followed were widespread protests across the state. They were led largely by students and youth organisations. The primary storyline in Parasakthi unfolds in this context.
