'DMK Vs TVK Vs Cong Vs BJP': How 'Parasakthi' Row Escalated From Censor Trouble To Political Tussle

Tamil film "Parasakthi" has been at the center of a heated debate since its trailer debuted earlier this month, encountering censorship challenges that have sparked broader political implications. The film, which explores sensitive themes, initially faced scrutiny from the Central Board of Film Certification. This scrutiny has since snowballed into a larger controversy, drawing in major political players in Tamil Nadu. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the Tamil Nadu Congress (TNC) have accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of using censorship as a political tool to suppress creative expression. Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu-based party, Tamil Vivasayigal Katchi (TVK), has also entered the fray, criticizing the film for its depiction of certain cultural elements. Each party has sought to leverage the situation to galvanize support among their respective voter bases, turning a cinematic issue into a full-blown political tussle. As the controversy intensifies, public interest in "Parasakthi" has surged, with many eager to see the film that has sparked such a divide. The filmmakers have defended their work, emphasizing its artistic value and cultural commentary. With the release date approaching, the film is poised to become a significant cultural milestone, highlighting the intersection of art, politics, and freedom of expression in contemporary India.
