With mixed reviews from audiences and critics, Shankar’s Telugu directorial film ‘Game Changer’ is minting underwhelming numbers at the box office.
According to the Sacnilk website, ‘Game Changer’ has managed to mint only Rs 2 lakhs on day 25 from the Telugu box office, and the Telugu net box office collections amount to Rs 89.22 crores. The worldwide collections for the Ram Charan starrer amount to Rs 185.19 crore and the India net collections amount to Rs 130.81 crore. The India gross collections stand at Rs 154.94 crore and overseas figures are Rs 30.25 crore.
Reportedly the Tamil net box office collections for the political action drama movie stand at Rs 8.29 crore and on day 18 the film has only made a high of Rs 1 lakh as per the early estimates by the website. According to the sources, ‘Game Changer’ has collected Rs 32.7 crore at the Hindi net box office and the Kannada net box office collections stand at Rs 57 lakhs in 14 days.
ETimes gave a rating of 3 out of 5 for ‘Game Changer’ and our review reads, “Thaman's musical score elevates the film, with a soundtrack that complements its themes. Tirru's cinematography captures both the grandeur and grit of the story, employing dynamic visuals that enhance the viewing experience. Editing by Shameer Muhammed and Ruben ensures a cohesive narrative flow. The production values reflect Shankar's commitment to high-quality filmmaking, with grandiose visuals in the song sequences. "Jaragandi" stands out as the highlight track, while the popular "Naanaa Hyraanaa" is yet to make its way into the final cut. The team has announced its inclusion starting January 14. While Game Changer impresses with its grand visuals and socially relevant themes, it falters in areas that detract from its overall impact. The narrative occasionally veers into predictability, relying on familiar tropes of love, political corruption, and systemic injustice. The screenplay’s didactic tone, though impactful at times, can feel heavy-handed, leaving little room for subtlety.”
