Sudha Kongara finds herself in soup after her anti-Hindi, pro-DMK propaganda film ‘Parasakthi’ is getting bashed left, right and centre.
The film, a supposed historical drama on the 1965 anti-Hindi agitations, has been slammed as blatant DMK propaganda that shamelessly targets the Congress party and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, all while being bankrolled by Dawn Pictures (with deep DMK ecosystem ties) and distributed by Red Giant Movies, run by CM MK Stalin’s grandson Inban Udhayanidhi.
Apart from the pathetic filmmaking, Parasakthi is now a new subject of controversy with netizens pointing to a particularly venomous scene where Sivakarthikeyan stands beside an ugly-looking black saree-clad effigy labeled “Hindi Arakki” (Hindi Demon), widely interpreted as a direct, derogatory jab at Indira Gandhi. Despite the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) mandating 25 modifications—including changing “Hindi Arakki” to just “Arakki” (Demon) wherever it appeared screenshots and clips from the film clearly show the unaltered effigy scene with Sivakarthikeyan posing next to it.
There’s a scene in which Congress leader Bhaktavatsalam is shown saying, “These fellows don’t know Hindi, their brains are filled with mud.”
The scene is framed as a critique of North Indian linguistic and cultural arrogance, which many viewers have linked to historical Congress-era attitudes toward southern states.
Most notably, the film features strong political lines that directly invoke Congress by name.
In the same sequence, it is reported that one dialogue states that for the “betrayal committed against Tamils,” the Congress would never be able to rule Tamil Nadu.
With alliance negotiations and electoral calculations underway, the portrayal of Congress as a historical betrayer of Tamil interests has become politically consequential. This has led to Congress leaders bashing the film and taking hits at the DMK.

With Congress giving feelers to TVK through its support for Vijay’s alleged final film ‘Jana Nayagan’, the rift between Congress and DMK has widened.
