As per the latest update on Sacnilk, Parasakthi collected ₹ 5.10 crore in its sixth day of release. The numbers project an improvement from the last few days, which is mainly because Thursday was a holiday due to Pongal celebrations. The total collection of the film now stands at ₹ 35.85 crore.

Parasakthi was initially set for a box office clash with Vijay's Jana Nayagan. Excitement for that film was huge, given it was billed as Vijay's last film before he joins politics. However, the film's release was delayed in the last minute due to certification. Parasakthi was also caught up with certification, as CBFC granted the film clearance at the very last minute.
