Audience and Social Media Response
Viewers have shared mixed but generally positive reactions to the film on social media platforms. One X (formerly Twitter) user commented, "'Parasakthi' has a good storyline and a strong climax. The screenplay moves at a slow and steady pace, though some love portions feel laggy and emotional connections are missing in places. Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela deliver good performances. Worth a one-time watch."
This feedback highlights the film's strengths while acknowledging areas where some viewers felt more engagement could have been developed.
