Sudha Kongara on ‘Parasakthi’ and online backlash, says ‘There is slandering and defamation of the worst kind’

Highlights

  • Sudha Kongara on the turbulence around Parasakthi, from certification demands to online attacks
  • Why the film frames the 1965 anti-Hindi agitation through one man’s choices
  • Balancing politics, melodrama and cinema
  • How music, casting and tone were shaped by craft, not compromise

A film surrounded by noise

Sudha Kongara is among the few Tamil directors whose films carry a distinct voice. With Parasakthi, that voice has had to compete with chaos. Long before release, the film was caught in disputes over its title, shifting cast announcements, ED searches, plagiarism claims and, finally, a list of changes demanded by the Central Board of Film Certification.

In all that, the film itself risked becoming secondary. Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa and Sreeleela in her Tamil debut, retells the 1965 anti-Hindi imposition agitation in Tamil Nadu. The core of the film unfolds over just 19 days , from January 24–25 to February 12, 1965.
