Ram Charan's 'Game Changer' Crosses ₹100 Crore Globally Despite Mixed Box Office Performance

The political thriller opened strong but faced a steep decline in earnings over its opening weekend, raising questions about reported figures.

The film, directed by S. Shankar and starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, premiered on January 10, earning ₹51 crore on its opening day in India.
Despite crossing ₹100 crore globally in three days, the film's domestic box office collections saw sharp declines of 57.84% on Saturday and 21.30% on Sunday.
The production team claimed a record-breaking ₹186 crore worldwide gross on Day 1, but analysts questioned the accuracy of these figures, alleging inflation of numbers.
Critics offered mixed reviews, praising Ram Charan's performance but criticizing the film's outdated storytelling and uneven pacing.
The movie faces stiff competition from other Sankranthi releases and the continued success of Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2,' which has dominated box office charts.
