Game Changer Box Office Collection: Ram Charan and Shankar’s film weak on first day in India

Game Changer has a disappointing start at the Indian box office, earning Rs. Earning around Rs 60 crores on the first day. The disappointment here is in the context that this is a Telugu film, which is quite frontloaded, otherwise, this first day number would have been considered good, even great for any other language film. Furthermore, the film has a massive budget, which required nothing less than a spectacular opening – something that Game Changer failed and failed spectacularly.

Barely Rs. 1 on first day in Telugu states. 40 crores, a far cry from Rs. Its target should have been Rs 60-65 crore.

Big disappointment also happened in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, where director Shankar has an excellent record. However, that track record has deteriorated recently, with the underperforming Indian 2 also making some headway, but Game Changer easily earning Rs. Took lead in less than. Rs 3 crores are coming from both the states. Ten years ago, in another Shankar film, I did so much work only in Kerala, which was a much smaller initial market at that time compared to today. The pre-Pongal factor also comes into play when business is slow in Tamil Nadu, but one cannot forgive such a start.

The interesting thing is that it is the Hindi version which can be said to be the best performer with Rs. 7 crore nett on the first day, but the less said about it the better because the figures are an open joke. There is a popular Hindi saying, “Aate mein namak chalta hai” (A little salt goes well with flour) but here the salt probably outweighs the flour.
