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.
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.

One thing's clear, this isn't a torture like Indian 2, but also nowhere near the standards Shankar has set
It's just like a passable routine Telugu commercial movie
Ram Charan shines as Appanna, that's the lifeline of the movie, otherwise, it's an average outing for him. SJ Suryah tries hard, but writing doesn't offer him much. Why Kiara? Anjali, just okay, rest of all, nothing.
Technically, Thaman is the only one who breathes life into the proceedings, but Villain and "UNPREDICTABLE" BGM were terribly overused. Songs were average, but surprisingly, even the picturisation was the same, much hyped "JARAGANDI" was a farce.
Camera work by Thiru was subpar TBH, never thought I'd say that in a Shankar movie, literally mocobot everywhere. Editing by Ruben and Shameer was fine.
Coming to Shankar, man, it's frustrating and gut-wrenching to see his standards going down, he redefined the commercial genre, but here, despite political thriller being his strong suite, the writing and direction, both were below average.

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.
