Game Changer box office number criticism

Recently, Game Changer faced backlash from several people, including Ram Gopal Varma, over discrepancies. There was a massive gap between the box office numbers claimed by the film's producers and those reported by trade analysts. Game Changer's producers shared that the film earned ₹186 crore on day one of its release.

The figure was shared on the film's team on their social media page. However, trade sources reported that the film opened under ₹100 crore worldwide. Some sources such as Sacnilk.com reported that the film's collection was only ₹80 crore. Directed by Shankar, Game Changer also stars Kiara Advani, and SJ Suryah. It hit the theatres on January 10.

Game Changer features Charan as Ram Nandan, a former IPS officer turned district collector with a fiery temperament, who takes on corrupt politicians, including Andhra Pradesh's Chief Minister Bobbili Mopidevi, to uphold his father Appanna's vision of a corruption-free nation.

The film stars Kiara Advani as the female lead alongside Anjali, S J Suryah, Srikanth, Sunil, Jayaram and Samuthirakani.

It is produced by Dil Raju through the banner Sri Venkateswara Creations.
