Pongal Box Office Turns Political: Jana Nayagan vs Parasakthi

Tamil Nadu is bracing for a high-stakes Pongal box-office clash as Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan and Parasakthi prepare to hit theatres amid intense political and cinematic buzz. Jana Nayagan, billed as Vijay's final film before his full-fledged political entry, has run into an unexpected hurdle with the Censor Board delaying certification over allegedly controversial dialogues. The makers have moved court seeking relief, even as fan frenzy and advance buzz continue to surge. With strong political undertones and massive star power on both sides, Pongal 2026 is shaping up to be one of Tamil cinema's most talked-about showdowns.
