Sudha Kongara’s Parasakthi continues to spark strong reactions — and this time, the praise has come from one of Tamil cinema’s most influential voices. Actor and Rajya Sabha MP Kamal Haasan took to social media to share his thoughts on the Sivakarthikeyan-led film, calling it a powerful political and cultural statement.
Released in theatres on Saturday, Parasakthi stars Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela, Ravi Mohan, and Atharvaa in key roles and has opened to mixed critical responses — but clearly struck a chord with Kamal.
“Let the Tamil Flame Spread!”: Kamal’s Powerful Message
Kamal Haasan shared his review on his official MP letterhead, lending the message both emotional and political weight. Captioning the video with the words “Let the Tamil flame spread!”, he addressed the note to Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister and actor Udhayanidhi Stalin.
In his message, Kamal admitted that he hadn’t anticipated the film’s political impact before watching it. He described Parasakthi as more than just cinema — calling it a resounding call ahead of the elections his alliance is preparing to face.
He went on to say that his wish was not only for the film’s commercial success, but that his words were offered as a genuine blessing.
“A Victory Garland Placed Upon DMK History”
Perhaps the strongest line from Kamal’s review was his description of the film as a tribute to the ruling party’s legacy. He wrote that Parasakthi felt like “a victory garland placed upon DMK history,” framing the film as a symbolic celebration of Dravidian ideology and political struggles.
The statement immediately drew attention, positioning the film not just as a historical-political drama, but as a work deeply intertwined with Tamil Nadu’s contemporary political narrative.
Special Praise for Sudha Kongara and Sivakarthikeyan
In a heartfelt postscript, Kamal acknowledged that emotion had overtaken him while writing the message. He clarified that his first praise should go to the film’s makers — especially director Sudha Kongara and Sivakarthikeyan.
He applauded Sivakarthikeyan for choosing this biopic-fiction story, committing himself fully to it, and backing a politically charged narrative at a crucial moment. According to Kamal, that decision alone deserved recognition — even before box office results or public verdicts.

Final Words
Kamal Haasan’s endorsement has added a new layer to the conversation around Parasakthi. While reviews remain divided, his words frame the film as something larger than cinema — a political statement, a historical reflection, and a call rooted in ideology.
Whether audiences agree or disagree, one thing is clear: Parasakthi has become a film people are talking about — not just for its storytelling, but for what it represents in Tamil cinema and politics today.
