What ETimes review says about 'Parasakthi'

ETimes gave 'Parasakthi' a rating of 3.5 stars. The review says, "Parasakthi is flooded with characters. It also incorporates prominent real-life figures into the mix. However, credit goes to the makers that they have tried to give an arc to each and every character, including the cameo roles. With that said, some of these arcs are more effective than the others.

Our review adds, "The cameos are 'pan-Indian', quite literally. Both in terms of the guest stars and the roles they play. The surprise appearances help in creating the wow factor. The acting is solid across the board. Kulappulli Leela, as the film's motherly figure, Muthamma, is a standout. Parasakthi is nowhere near flawless. But it's a powerful and ambitious attempt to capture a defining chapter in history. In every sense, the film wears its politics on its sleeve and brings in an emotional heft."
