The excitement surrounding director Sudha Kongara’s political drama, Parasakthi, has reached a fever pitch following the release of its second single, ‘Ratnamala.’ This romantic track, featuring the much-anticipated pairing of leading man Sivakarthikeyan and debutante Sreeleela, has instantly resonated with fans, accumulating over 1.9 million views within a day of its release on the Saregama Tamil YouTube channel. The song successfully balances a calming melody with visually rich aesthetics, setting a high bar for the film’s music album.
The composition and vocals for ‘Ratnamala’ are helmed by the versatile G.V. Prakash Kumar, delivering a track that is both soothing and melodically complex. Demonstrating a wide appeal, the song has been released in dual languages to cater to both the Tamil and Telugu audiences. The deeply expressive Tamil lyrics are penned by Jayashree Mathimaran, while the Telugu version features verses by Ramajogayya Sastry, ensuring the emotional core of the song translates across linguistic boundaries. This multi-lingual approach underscores the film’s ambitious reach.
The visual treatment of ‘Ratnamala’ is a major talking point. Fans have particularly lauded the “elegant moves and calming vibe” of the lead pair, Sivakarthikeyan and Sreeleela. Their fresh on-screen chemistry is palpable, beautifully accentuated by striking background settings, including a memorable sequence in a “brick church at night.” For Sreeleela, a prominent star in Telugu cinema, Parasakthi marks her grand debut in the Tamil industry, a highly anticipated introduction now made all the more exciting by her graceful performance in the song.
Parasakthi is not only Sivakarthikeyan’s highly-publicized 25th film (SK 25) but also the next major directorial venture from Sudha Kongara, known for her critically acclaimed works. Described as a compelling political drama, the film is already cementing its place as one of the most awaited cinematic events of the coming year. The producers, Dawn Pictures, have confirmed the film’s major release during the competitive Pongal 2026 festival window, scheduled for January 14. With ‘Ratnamala’ already becoming a chartbuster, the stage is perfectly set for a blockbuster premiere.
