Game Changer

Just watched "Game Changer" and thought it was better than "Indian 2". The movie has some predictable moments, but the first half's writing and the 20-minute flashback in the second half are noteworthy. However, some viewers might find the screenplay and editing weak, and the sound mix stale. Despite this, it's a clean family-friendly film.

Ram Charan's performance is impressive, and his character, Appanna, is a highlight. His screen presence is undeniable. The cat-and-mouse chase between Ram Charan and Surya will entertain audiences.

The movie showcases the power of an IAS officer and a Chief Electoral Officer, highlighting the challenges of doing good for society. However, few audience may don't feel good about movie.

Why? Few individuals may think that i am already aware that I'll be taken advantage of by politicians. I know law & order gonna deceive me, it's no surprise. I'm well aware they will cheat me every term. But you/director/artists do not try to tell me that I could be cheated by them - I can't bear it"

that's the reason few may don't feel good about movie because director attempted to cram the entire constitution and its rights into a 2.5-hour film, which may overwhelm audiences, feeling like they're being hit with a dense, heavy book.

Overall, "Game Changer" is a decent watch, but its impact may vary depending on individual perspectives.

I am a fan of the director and even I couldn't bear the poorly made movie. Looks like they sat together the night before the shooting started and put together a story and script in a rush. No comedy and music was also not something we get in a Shankar movie. It also felt like watching a few of Shankar's old movies like Mudhalvan, Indian and Anniyan. Ram Charan is the only saving grace. It's a shocker that they wasted Sunil. The volume was too loud and jarring and that part I am unsure if it was specific to my theater or the recording itself but was such. Also the scenes felt so disconnected. First movie where I didn't have a single laugh or didn't get emotional in any scene.

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.

The story is decent, but the narration drags and feels messy. Some scenes hit the mark, some miss, and most are just "meh".

Ramcharan pulls off his two roles well, but his performance doesn't blow you away. His beardless look? Let's just say it's not his best. Anjali shines in her limited role, while Kiara adds glamour but not much else. SJ Suryah steals the show as the villain but it feels very monotonous and the rest of the cast does their job.

The production is lavish-maybe too lavish, like they burned cash just for songs and fights to look grand. Music is nice, and the cinematography is impressive. Shankar's direction is okay, but it's not his prime-level magic.

Overall? It's not worth watching.

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.
