Ram Charan’s 'Game Changer' Faces Box Office Decline and Piracy Challenges

The political thriller, which opened strong with ₹51 crore on day one, has seen earnings drop sharply and was leaked online shortly after release.

The film's box office performance has steadily declined, with collections dropping from ₹51 crore on its opening day to ₹2.79 crore on day seven.
Despite crossing ₹110 crore domestically and ₹154.5 crore globally, the film has struggled to sustain its early momentum due to mixed reviews and competition from other releases.
A pirated version of 'Game Changer' was illegally aired on local TV channels and buses, prompting the producer to demand strict action against piracy.
Director Shankar expressed dissatisfaction with the final cut, revealing that the original five-hour runtime was heavily trimmed to meet time constraints.
The film, made on a reported budget of ₹450 crore, tackles themes of corruption and justice, featuring Ram Charan in dual roles and an ensemble cast including Kiara Advani and SJ Suryah.
