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.

First half super that to interval excellent twist. In the second half Appanna character marvellous. In that director Sankar showed his talent and final episode routine story. He has to improve his Direction. Thaman BGM is super, screen ply also well. Ram charan and surya acting superb. Heroine role is less, Anjali also well acted. Finally it's entertaining us. Melody song not in the movie. Ram charan dance extremely well. Once watch and give opinion on this movie. Don't misunderstand with reviews.

Minus low comedy Routine story Few actors only in the screen presence.

Kaira Advani only for songs.

Game changer is a commercial political story which revolves around an IAS officer Plus points:- 1. A character named Appanna(very emotional character) 2. Good screen presence by Ram Charan 3. Love scenes between kiara and Ram Charan 4. Interval bang 5. SJ surya vs ram nandhan (when they met they set fire on screen) 5. Anjali's performance 6. Bgm and music

Negative points:- 1. Worst transitions used, editing not good(it feels like some clips are fast they are set in 1.25x speed) 2. VFX good, but not reached with expectations 3. Climax not ended with high note 4. Some comedy scenes worked out, but some not

GAME CHANGER is a one time watch movie with family, only for ram charan's performance, especially Appanna character.

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 a below average watch, not worth watching.

This movie is a breath of fresh air in the political drama genre, thanks to its fast-paced editing and tightly packed storyline. From start to finish, there's never a dull moment, as the engaging screenplay ensures you're hooked throughout. The small yet clever twists scattered across the plot keep the momentum alive, making it a treat for viewers who love gripping narratives.

The song picturization is vibrant, and the "Dhop" song dance deserves a special mention for its infectious energy. The background score is above average, complementing the high-stakes drama well. What's even better is that this is a movie you can enjoy with your family-something rare these days.

A standout performance comes from SJ Suryah, whose acting adds depth and intensity to the movie. Ram Charan delivers yet another brilliant performance, proving his versatility. Sunil, after a long gap, brings back his charm and provides much-needed comedic relief that genuinely works. The rest of the cast shines in their respective roles, contributing to the overall experience.

While it's tempting to compare this film to big-ticket blockbusters like RRR, Baahubali, or Pushpa: The Rise, I'd advise against it. This movie has its own unique flavor and stands tall as an entertaining, well-executed project. If you go in without those comparisons, you're bound to enjoy it even more.

Overall, this is a must-watch for fans of political dramas and family entertainers alike. Don't miss it!

1 man show ramcharan, highlight interval bang, engaging screenply.ramcharan ramp acting,and powerful performance.and second half was good.appana character was remarkable,fight sequence was good,songs was great,but there was no hyrana song,so this was a gamechanging movie,ramcharan acting was good in both characters,Anjali acting was good,Kiara advani acting also good,the scenes between sj Surya and ramcharan are highlight of movie,good bgm by taman extraordinary visuals,we know where the budget goes to,final review was awesome firsthalf,good second half,great acting by all lead roles,so movie was unpredictable.

'Game Changer' is a very ordinary political commercial entertainer that is carried completely by Ram Charan's performance and Thaman's BGM at times.

The first half is pretty mediocre with a boring love track and ineffective comedy but gets interesting leading up to the interval. The second half starts on superb note with a 20 minute flashback that reminds us of Vintage Shankar. However, after this portion, it again turns back into a run of the mill political movie that turns melodramatic and tiring towards the end.

The film uses similar tropes to many political movies in the past which gives it an outdated and tiring feel at times. The heart and soul of the film is a 20 minute flashback. RC is absolutely superb as Appana in this flash back and will remain as another feather in his cap. The rest of RCs character is a regular IAS role that is a cakewalk for him. Thaman's music is an asset for the film whenever it doesn't enter the overly loud mode. The production values are good especially in the songs.

This is easily better than Indian 2, however, it can't be considered as a comeback for Shankar as his writing and taking is below par and is completely carried by the music and Charan. Just Ok!

Rating: 5/10.

One-man show Ramcharan, story old format like Oke Okada movie type story. Screenplay good and song placements are somewhat disappointing and the best NAA HAYARANA song was removed in 1am show lets see if they will add in next show. Ramcharan RAMP in acting. SJ Surya and Anjali acting awesome. Kiara advani acting good. Taman delivered best output. Its an Shankar's markable movie. Really Appana role >>>>>> Chittibabu PEAK acting delivered by Ramcharan. Only the negative thing is all the people around us are waiting for experimental films they stop thinking about the society for those people movie won't satisfy well because the movie plot is in caring society. For Shankar comeback he have to leave all this society messages (In Every Shankar sirs movie there will be a message ) better he stop directing like that and start in new way. Now a days people doesn't care about society.

B-L-O-C-K-B-U-S-T-E-R.

A perfect family entertainer for sankranti. There are so many negative reviews from other hero fans. Don't trust any reviews watch with your family.ram charan is excellent, everyone in the movie acted very well and SJ surya this is his villain era and flashback story is less but charan nailed as appana character, the screen play was good and music was also awesome, this is a worthy movie for this sankranti. Blockbuster for fans, avg for audience. At climax there is a good message for government politics and this is a Sankar's little comeback, Shankar sir as to improve some points in direction. Thank you.

I went to this movie with no expectations and it is not outright bad as his previous movie, Indian 2. The flashback episode is decent, the cat and mouse game between Ram and Mopidevi is engaging to some extent, interval block was interesting.

The movie starts with a hint in the beginning that it's a commercial entertainer supposed to be out 30 years ago. I hate having a mass fight sequence followed by an introduction song. Shankar could have used this time to establish the plot line.

Dance numbers are untimely. Can't even mention about the counless physics defying fight sequences and brainless cringe scenes. It is silly that Ram had to address his anger issues so that he can channel anger to become IPS officer.

It's worth watching once in OTT when it's available.

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.

I had high hopes for Game Changer (2025), and to be fair, it started off really good. The beginning pulls you in with an interesting premise and some solid performances. The visuals were nice, and I felt like it was building up to something exciting.

But honestly, the middle part of the movie was a letdown. It started to drag, and the story became really predictable. Instead of surprising me or doing something fresh, it went down the usual path with the same old twists I've seen in so many other films. By the time it ended, it felt like just another typical movie.

Overall, it's not terrible, but it didn't live up to the potential it showed at the start. I'd give it a 6/10.

First half Ok but pre interval and second half extraordinary snake and ladder game between hero Ramcharan and SJ Surya are the highlights of the movie. Songs are excellent especially the dances ramacharan grace is next level. Though you feel it's an old story but due to Ramcharan it got elevated. In some scenes we feel Ramcharan looks as young Chiranjeevi. Kiara was looking gorgeous. Only disappointment is few characters are of no use like vennela Kishore, Jayram, bhramanandam sir, Ramcharan friends and few characters in flash back episode why they used no idea because there is no much comedy chills. Main movie revolves between Ramcharan, SJ Surya, Anjali and Srikanth. With limited characters they could have added more extraordinary scenes.

Game Changer Review

As per the Game Changer's premise and objectives, it attempts to delve deeper into person growth, competitiveness, and resilience. Revolving around the life of a young prodigious athlete, this movie depicts the life of how it truly feels to transform from an aspiring individual to a high-stakes level athlete in a sports drama directed by a talented filmmaker.

There exists an emotional arc within the plot which can be seen quite clearly, for instance, the protagonist starts off as an underdog and during the course of the movie becomes a champion. Despite the single narrative of resilience, the movie evokes compassion and fuses in an adequate amount of sincerity to ensure an engaging approach towards the audience, which works in its favor. You can clearly see how elite competition takes a toll on someone through how the film accurately portrays the psychological and emotional repercussions of the said. Everything from the complexities within a family regarding relationships, and strong bonds between teammates is unfiltered and shown in an honest manner throughout the movie.

This movie does a remarkable job when it comes to performance. The character's arc, highlights moments of victory and internal catastrophes, which is a difficult thing to balance, but the lead actor manages to exhibit the character perfectly. The emotions intertwined within the story created through the side characters shine alongside him.

Game Changer is a visual miracle, with expertly infused heart-pounding sports sequences. The stitching of the movie is flawless with each g cut.

One Time watchable movie. Routine story line. Story is predictable .Movie is not worthy watching in theatres....i recommend all the fans don't go for this movie. Over all Ram Charan acting is too good But the Shanker the Way taking the movie story line is not good . Movie got so many Boring lines .Screen play is not good .Kiara advani and Ram Charan screen presence is not good in the movie. Nothing worked out for this movie. Thaman Background music is good . I strongly recommend all the fans don't go and watch the movie in the theatres. No cinematic Experience.iam telling Shanker to retire from the movies..

If INDIAN (1996) has been a quintessential Shankar movie, so is Game Changer now. Clear messaging on politics, elections, and governance. Simplified for dummies and laced with elements that we expect of a commercial masala movie. Shankar's trademark is first time use of new technologies in movie-making. Thaman's music (background) syncs well with Shankar's colourful flamboyance. I personally loved the way RamCharan portrayed his role which contained multiple personas. But they didn't screen the best song of the movie. Leaving us dry. Overall this movie is a must watch. I did so in IMAX. Worth every minute. SJ Suryah and Kiara Advani ensured that.

"Game Changer" (2025) arrives with the weight of expectations that come with a Shankar-Ram Charan collaboration. While the film delivers on the promise of visual grandeur and a charismatic performance from its leading man, it ultimately falls short of being a truly impactful cinematic experience due to a weak second half and a predictable storyline.

Ram Charan is undoubtedly the film's biggest strength. He delivers a powerhouse performance, showcasing his versatility and charisma in dual roles. His screen presence is electrifying, and he carries the film with his energy and conviction.

The film's first half is engaging, with Shankar's signature style on full display. The visuals are grand, the action sequences are stylish, and the songs are picturized with a lavishness that is characteristic of the director. However, the narrative loses its grip in the second half, with the plot becoming predictable and the writing losing its sharpness.

The film's attempts at social commentary, while well-intentioned, feel heavy-handed and lack the subtlety needed to truly resonate. The romantic track feels forced and unnecessary, disrupting the flow of the narrative. The climax, while visually impressive, lacks the emotional impact and punch that one expects from a Shankar film.

Despite its flaws, "Game Changer" is a watchable film, primarily due to Ram Charan's stellar performance and the film's visual grandeur. However, its weak second half, predictable plot, and lackluster writing prevent it from being a truly memorable or impactful cinematic experience.

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.

According to my opinion Ram charan sir screen presence apt the movie. Main Appanna character was career mark performance. Introduction scene🔥 and some drag scenes from pre-interval👌, Interval bang & Thaman bgm 🤙🤙. 1st half IAS portion between hero and villain was interesting. Second half of the movie flashback was heart of the movie. 2nd half flashback was heart of the movie Appanna character made more fresh and Anjali character was fantastic 😊 climax was okay. Good movie. Sreekant character, Rajiv kanakala, Samudrakhani, Sunil character is awesome, Kaira advani character was😗. Sankar sir come back🔥🎥

Don't waste your time to go watch this movie. It is one of the worst movie in the recent times. Bad story with very bad logic and narration. I could have directed a better movie if i had the budget of one of the song from this movie. My Blood pressure is getting increased after the movie. My entire day went waste . I don't know what happened to the film industry recent years. Every one has lost their brains. Shankar who used to be one of the greatest Director of India, i can't believe he directed this film. The producer could have done something better with the budget of this movie. It will be a definitely flop.

I liked the movie.

Pros: Story is the strong point.

Ram Charan acting is very good.

Songs and their presentation is really nice.

Cons: Not to the Shankar's mark.

Screen play could have been much better.

Villain was very unrealistic. Seemed like over action.

Flashback was very strong but, felt wasn't used properly. Use of Anjali's character was very confusing.

Too many characters. Comedy is bad. Telugu cinemas must have some good humour.

Summary: A good one time watch.

There is a strong negative talk. I went to theater with that negative view but, I thoroughly enjoyed the film.

The movie has a great story butz execution could have been better.
