Game Changer

A director coasting on former glory meets an actor coasting on PR hype and you get GameChanger. Basically there is a faint whiff of a story which is presented as a series of meaningless but rich visuals . The songs that cost 1/4 the budget are so ill placed .There is a female lead whose purpose is unknown .So many elements which are serial level cringe - like how and why and where the heroes mother ends up . This marks the end of Shankar. Ramcharan escaped scrutiny over his ultra disaster acharya that came after rrrr but there is no escaping the rightful ridicule that comes his way for this self proclaimed global star ! AVOID in OTT also.

'Game Changer' is a very ordinary political commercial entertainer that is carried completely by Ram Charan's performance and Thaman's BGM at times.

The first half is pretty mediocre with a boring love track and ineffective comedy but gets interesting leading up to the interval. The second half starts on superb note with a 20 minute flashback that reminds us of Vintage Shankar. However, after this portion, it again turns back into a run of the mill political movie that turns melodramatic and tiring towards the end.

The film uses similar tropes to many political movies in the past which gives it an outdated and tiring feel at times. The heart and soul of the film is a 20 minute flashback. RC is absolutely superb as Appana in this flash back and will remain as another feather in his cap. The rest of RCs character is a regular IAS role that is a cakewalk for him. Thaman's music is an asset for the film whenever it doesn't enter the overly loud mode. The production values are good especially in the songs.

This is easily better than Indian 2, however, it can't be considered as a comeback for Shankar as his writing and taking is below par and is completely carried by the music and Charan. Just Ok!

Rating: 5/10.

Disaster movie. Expected great movie from shankar and ram charan after indian 2. But its total irritating. Expected something new concept and good story line from ram charan's movie after RRR. But this movie having the same old and predictable story which will not feel Worthy to watch. Not sure how ram charan had accepted this role and worked in this movie may be beacause of shankar's direction.

Nowadays this filmy media are making so much of hype of any movies but not delivering the something new which will make audiances to feel great after watching movie. Not a theatre movie at all. Save your money to watch chhava(vickey kaushal)movie in theatre.

I went to this movie with no expectations and it is not outright bad as his previous movie, Indian 2. The flashback episode is decent, the cat and mouse game between Ram and Mopidevi is engaging to some extent, interval block was interesting.

The movie starts with a hint in the beginning that it's a commercial entertainer supposed to be out 30 years ago. I hate having a mass fight sequence followed by an introduction song. Shankar could have used this time to establish the plot line.

Dance numbers are untimely. Can't even mention about the counless physics defying fight sequences and brainless cringe scenes. It is silly that Ram had to address his anger issues so that he can channel anger to become IPS officer.

It's worth watching once in OTT when it's available.

What a stupid film to watch in 2025! A bare plot for an entertaining film. No intelligent storytelling approach has been applied in this film. Just wasted money for color grading and set designs. The directorial unit only thought about cheap claps from witty, conventional dialogues and attitudes. Sadly, that did not work. If the directors nowadays still think that the audiences will love their work just because they checked not to forget mixing all the emotional tablets in every seconds of their film to fool the audiences, then they are wrong, and they obviously need to change their vision. These types of movies are enough to kill any actor's career.
