Shankar’s disconnect from reality

Shankar stayed as the top director of the Indian Film Industry for years. He, in this process, came up with the biggest blockbusters and also raised the standards of filmmaking. But it seems Shankar has lost his charm with his recent films. It also appears that Shankar has disconnected from reality going by his words about the poor reviews Game Changer has been getting.

Success and failure are very common in the film Industry and one should only learn from this by improving his strengths and weaknesses. But Shankar looks the opposite of this. His 2.0 which was made with a lavish budget became a failure. He didn’t learn anything from this and continued making Indian 2 with the same extravaganza scale.

Indian 2 which was released last year bombed like anything making it Kollywood’s biggest disaster. He still didn’t change taking much time for Game Changer’s making and only increased the budget scale. But Game Changer too is heading towards a big failure. Interestingly, Shankar now in an interview says that he had come across only positive reviews for Game Changer which shocked everyone.

This makes all wonder if Shankar can’t accept reality or not see it properly. It’s better if he takes feedback from all sides and corrects himself. He should direct Indian 3 which has been put on hold. So, let’s see.

Game Changer Slowed In Hindi

Of all the Sankranthi releases, Game Changer has received the weakest talk and reviews. The much hyped Ram Charan and Shankar combo was expected to set the box office on storm. Unfortunately, the collections have not managed to stand upto the expectations.

Game Changer slowed down at Box office in Telugu from day 2 itself. In Tamil, the film did not have momentum from opening day. Fortunately for Dil Raju, the film had a decent weekend in Hindi with around 22 Cr nett collection in India.

But it all changed on Monday where the Hindi version also slowed down and fell to 2 Cr nett. At this pace reaching 50 Cr is not an easy task unless the movie gets a jump on weekend. This big budget political action entertainer is now struggling in all languages and heading towards a big commercial failure.

With Sankranthiki Vasthunnam releasing today amidst super positive buzz, and Daaku Maharaj standing strong at the box-office, Game Changer needs to show a miraculous jump over festive days and upcoming weekend.

Best film in Sankranthi releases

Tollywood had three exciting releases for this year’s Sankranthi festival. The first one to arrive was Game Changer followed by Daaku Maharaaj and Sankranthiki Vasthunam. Game Changer received a below-par review whereas Daaku Maharaaj and Sankranthiki Vasthunam secured mixed to positive reviews.

Sankranthiki Vasthunam is undoubtedly the No 1 choice film for the audience for this festival. The film is also set to make a rampage at the box office with sensational bookings today. Check the review of Sankranthi Vasthunam here – https://tracktollywood.com/sankranthiki-vasthunnam-movie-review-a-festive-entertainer-with-fun-laughter/

Daaku Maharaaj is a decent film to watch as said and works big for the mass audiences. The film will definitely be the 2nd best option for the audiences. Check the review of Daaku Maharaaj – https://tracktollywood.com/daaku-maharaaj-movie-review-balakrishnas-feast/

Game Changer, however, has faltered with disappointing word of mouth. The film is just a one-time watchable film. The Audience may be satisfied with the rich visuals and the songs with passable content.

The RajaSaab Sankranthi update disappoints

On the occasion of the Sankranthi festival, the team of The RajaSaab released a poster of Prabhas featuring him in a stylish look. Fans and Audiences have been waiting for an update from the film after the release of Motion Poster on YouTube. But this Sankranthi update has disappointed them completely. This poster offered nothing new and appeared like a casual image.

However, the makers didn’t announce the release date of the film. Prabhas is currently working on multiple films and this might have also delayed the announcement. But the film is expected to come this year. The combination of Maruthi and Prabhas has been an exciting one. Many people are eagerly waiting for the comic angle of Prabhas to witness in the film.

Director Maruthi too is hoping to bounce back with The RajaSaab. His recent films have turned out to be disappointments at the box office. This will be a golden opportunity for the Director to prove himself with the advantage of Prabhas as well.

Daaku Maharaaj Two days box office collections

Daaku Maharaaj witnessed a sensational opening also making it the highest in Balakrishna’s career. The film had a good hold on Day 2 as well collecting around 9 crores share in Telugu States including GST. The worldwide share will be around 10.5 crores.

For 2 days, Daaku Maharaaj’s share is close to 44 crores. The Theatrical rights are valued at 80 crores and it has already recovered 55% in just two days. The same momentum is expected to continue throughout the week and will achieve the breakeven mark easily. The film is also set to become career highest by Sunday itself shocking all.

With the underperformance of Game Changer, Daaku Maharaaj has gained an advantage and may face competition only from Sankranthiki Vasthunam which will release today. If all goes well, Daaku Maharaaj may go close to 200 crores.

Game Changer Four Days Telugu Box Office Collections

Ram Charan’s much awaited Sankranti release Game Changer opened to poor reviews and word of mouth. The film did decent on the opening day but witnessed a big drop in Telugu States on Day 2. It collected only around 8 crores and Day 3 was even less than Day 2. The poor response and the arrival of Daaku Maharaaj impacted the film a lot.

Game Changer even failed to witness a big jump on festival. Due to this weak performance, the buyers are at least hoping for some better collections from today. If the film fails to make a strong jump during the festive days, then it will be a big losse for buyers.

Here are Game Changer Telugu box office after 4 days. The Telugu states total share stands at Rs 54.5 crores while the worldwide share is at Rs 72 crores. The theatrical rights are valued at Rs 165 crores making the total recovery at 44%.

With Sankranthiki Vasthunnam relasing today amidst super positive buzz, Game Changer needs to stand strong over the coming days to get the buyers to a safe zone.

Cast: Venkatesh, Aishwarya Rajesh, Meenakshi Chowdhary, Upendra Limaye, Naresh and others
Director: Anil Ravipudi
Produced By: Dil Raju
Release Date: 14th January 2025

Sankranthiki Vasthunnam is the most hyped movie of this Sankranthi. The film’s songs became viral, and the teaser/trailer also worked well. The audiences, especially the families are eager to watch the film in theaters. Let’s take a look on how the film has been shaped up in Sankranthiki Vasthunnam’s Review.

Story:

The story follows a VVIP, who gets kidnapped, prompting a high-stakes rescue mission by a senior encounter specialist. Adding twists to the salvage, the encounter specialist’s family, wife, and girlfriend become unexpectedly involved, leading to a mix of action, comedy, and drama. While the plot remains thin, the film thrives on its entertaining execution, vibrant performances, and festival-friendly moments.

Positives:

  • Engaging First Half–Packed with humor, music, and energetic performances, making it a significant highlight.
  • Venkatesh as Chinnu Raju – His impeccable comic timing and screen presence elevate the film.
  • Aishwarya & Meenakshi–Both actresses deliver strong performances and add charm to their respective roles.
  • Bulli Raju’s Character–A major highlight, lighting up key sequences with humor.
  • Catchy Music–Songs like “Godarigattu” and “Meenu Song” are instant hits, enhancing the festive mood.

Negatives:

  •  Weaker Second Half–The film loses momentum post-interval with some unnecessary sequences
  • Climax Execution–The ending feels stretched and lacks impact.
  • Over-the-Top Comedy – Some episodes go a bit overboard and could have been better balanced

Sankranthiki Vasthunnam Movie Review and Verdict:

Despite its flaws, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam is a festive entertainer that delivers on comedy, performances, and music. While the second half and climax could have been stronger, it remains a decent watch for the festival season and should do well at the box office.

Game Changer Team member leaked Jaragandi song

Jaragandi song from Game Changer was leaked long ago raising many doubts over the whole incident. Now, Music Director Thaman has given clarity on the issue telling that the leak was made possible because of an insider which he didn’t name. This video is now going viral on social media.

Thaman said that the team knows who was behind it but couldn’t do anything about it. He said that it really disappointed the whole team before the official release. It felt very interesting to see Thaman expressing his helplessness in this situation even after knowing who the culprit was.

On the other hand, Game Changer is performing low at the box office. The high expectations and the poor word of mouth impacted the film completely bringing a huge disappointment to the team.
