What Did Samantha Ruth Prabhu Say About Reuniting With Ram Charan? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Ram Charan, who is just 15 films old, has garnered worldwide attention and love, especially after his fiery performance in the Rajamouli-directed movie Rrr. He is all set to star in a new and different avatar in Peddi, aka RC16, his 16th film. Throughout his career, Ram Charan has managed to play different characters, and one of his most memorable performances is from the 2018 Sukumar directorial film Rangasthalam, in which he portrayed the role of Chittibabu, a partially deaf and grumpy resident of Rangasthalam.

Speaking of Chittibabu, how can we not mention his love interest, Ramalakshmi, portrayed by Samantha Ruth Prabhu? The actress needs no introduction as she is one of the finest actresses in the Telugu film industry. After battling health issues, she is all geared up to make a comeback and recently finished her...

Turning his focus on Ram Charan, Subhash K Jha looks at the Rrr star’s incredible career as the actor celebrates his 40th birthday.

The letter ‘R’ has played an important part in his career. In Rrr, his turn as a cop during the British Raj who changes loyalties with a sweeping smooth celerity was one of the film’s highlights. The hard work that went into the performance was evident in every frame.

Ram Charan is not a great actor. But he has worked hard to prove he is more than the legendary Chiranjeevi’s son.

I remember, in 2013, when he made his disastrous debut in Hindi with Zanjeer, Ram was not fluent in Hindi, and the actor took rigorous Hindi classes.

Even in Dhruva, where Ram played a cop(again!), he had to beef up for the part. He built a physique that the film required. Unfortunately, Dhruva...

Ram Charan, one of the most respected and bankable actors in Indian cinema, has consistently shattered glass ceilings with his on-screen performances while redefining the global presence of Indian cinema. As the actor celebrates his birthday today, let’s take a look at how he has expanded both his career and Indian cinema’s reach on an international level.

Rrr Breakthrough

Ram Charan took the cinematic world by storm with a stellar performance in the critically acclaimed film Rrr. The film’s grand appeal, compelling storytelling, impactful performances, and high-octane action sequences earned widespread acclaim. The Oscar-winning track Naatu Naatu and standing ovations at global premieres further cemented Ram Charan’s growing international presence.

Hollywood Recognition

Ram Charan transcended national boundaries with his growing global recognition. He became the first Telugu actor to appear on the US daytime talk show Good Morning America, marking a significant milestone. He also expanded...

Ram Charan, star of the Oscar and Golden Globe-winning “Rrr,” has unveiled the first look of his 16th film, which is titled “Peddi.”

The pan-India project represents a collaboration between Mythri Movie Makers, Sukumar Writings, and producer Venkata Satish Kilaru’s Vriddhi Cinemas banner. The film has been described as one that will take audiences on a “rural, emotional and rustic journey.” It will be directed by Buchi Babu Sana, who won the best Telugu-language film award at India’s National Film Awards for his debut “Uppena” (2021). Sana previously served as a writer and assistant director to “Pushpa” filmmaker Sukumar on hit film “Rangasthalam” (2018).

Following a pre-look teaser, the production team marked Ram Charan’s birthday with the official title reveal. The name “Peddi” reportedly signifies the protagonist’s character in the film.

The first-look poster shows Ram Charan in a transformation from his usual appearance. He sports unkempt hair,...

The following review contains no spoilers for “Pushpa 2: The Rule” apart from what is contained in teasers, trailers, and lyrical song videos. The review is based on the Telugu-language IMAX release, subtitled in English.

The question of “What is the biggest Indian film of all time” has many different potential answers. International gross? “Dangal”. Domestic? “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.” Footfalls? Likely “Sholay” or “Mughal-e-Azam”, though “Baahubali 2” has a claim there too. In a year that has been frankly disappointing for mass cinema overall, cinephiles have watched the promise of the next “1000cr Club” movie bandied about for films that struggled to earn a tenth of that amount, or whose inflated budget made even a record-breaking gross barely break even. Beloved directors known for making mass films with sophisticated twists have let down audiences with trite and outdated content and stories that seem to only exist to set up a sequel.

Game Changer Box Office: Ram Charan Starrer Ends Its Run In UAE-gcc (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Ram Changer’s Game Changer was released amid a huge buzz at the worldwide box office. As the actor was coming with another magnum opus after Rrr’s stupendous success, expectations were really high from this Sankranti release. It was severely impacted by other Tollywood biggies: Daaku Maharaaj and Sankranthiki Vasthunam. In recent development, the film has closed its box office run in UAE-gcc or the Middle East. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Directed by Shankar, the political action thriller was released theatrically on January 10, ahead of the Sankranti festive season. It registered a solid opening globally. Overseas, after North America, the major contribution came from UAE-Gcc, which is also commonly termed the Middle East region. It is now learned that the run in this region has come to an end.

As per the latest collection update,...

Ram Charan’s Game Changer is still churning out numbers at the box office, and in six days the total collection of the film in all languages stands at 119.45 crore. The worldwide collection of the film stands at 168.95 crore.

Ram Charan’s 2nd Highest-Grossing Solo Film

The Rrr superstar might soon get his second highest-grossing solo film replacing Rangasthalam that has earned 154 crore at the box office. However, his current release still needs another week or so before he can surpass this number.

Game Changer Box Office Collection Day 6

On the sixth day, Wednesday, January 15, Game Changer earned 6.61 crore at the box office. This is a drop of 35% at the box office from the previous day, which earned 10.19 crore at the box office.

Ram Charan is grateful to his fans for the reception towards his Sankranti release, Game Changer. The political action thriller, co-starring Kiara Advani, has entered the 100 crore club in all languages in India. Scroll below for the latest update on day 4.

The downward graph continues!

Shankar’s directorial enjoyed favorable reviews in the Hindi language but received a lukewarm response in the southern regions. On the first Monday, Game Changer witnessed another drop of 58% as it made box office collections of 7.85 crores. Telugu took over Hindi to become the best-performing language, contributing 4.75 crores to the total earnings.

On day 4, the Ram Charan starrer collected 2.42 crores in the Hindi belt. The remaining sum came from the Kannada and Tamil versions. The overall earnings after Monday will conclude at 102.65 crores net.

Telugu political action thriller Game Changer made its way to the theatres on January 10, 2024. It has made decent box office collections in three days before the much-awaited Sankranti holiday. There’s also good news as Ram Charan has scored his third highest-grosser by beating the lifetime collections of Magadheera. Scroll below for the opening weekend total in all languages.

The downward trend continues

Game Changer opened to favorable reviews, especially in the Hindi language. Unfortunately, the response has been lukewarm in the Southern regions from the second day. As per the latest box office update, Ram Charan starrer has witnessed another drop of 18% compared to 22 crores earned on the second day.

Game Changer made a box office collection of 18 crores in all languages on Sunday. This includes 9.52 crores from the Hindi belt alone, the dominant language contributing to almost 53% of the total earnings.

In the last two years, two opposing forces have shone brightly in the landscape of Indian cinema. The unprecedented international success of director SS Rajamouli’s “Rrr” (2022) has catapulted its lead actors into a level of worldwide fame previously reserved for the likes of Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. International audiences took particular appreciation of Ram Charan, whose morally conflicted and complex character won widespread admiration. Yet, this excitement is tempered by the fact that Ram Charan has a relatively meager filmography, and of these, there are only a small number of phenomenal films, such as “Magadheera” (2009) or “Rangasthalam” (2018), a couple of good-to-decent films such as “Yevadu” (2014) or “Dhruva” (2016), and several outright stinkers like “Rachcha” (2012), the remake of Bachchan’s “Zanjeer” (2013), or the infamous “Vinaya Vidheya Rama” (2019).

Perhaps his biggest flop, 2022’s “Acharya”, was technically an extended cameo role and mercifully came and went before international audiences had fully latched onto “Rrr”. Despite this,...

The countdown is in the final stage, and we’re just three days away from the grand release of Ram Charan’s Game Changer. Touted to be one of the most expensive Indian films, expectations are sky-high. Yes, the pre-release is shockingly low, but considering Ram’s popularity among the Telugu audience and Shankar’s brand, the industry is confident about the film’s performance at the worldwide box office. Even through pre-release theatrical deals, the biggie has minted good numbers.

We all know Shankar delivered a mega disaster with his recent release, Indian 2. This blow has affected his next with Ram Charan as the negative perception has been built. However, one can’t overlook the director’s ability to bounce back with a strong content-driven film. This is the reason why his...
