Game Changer was released worldwide today, and if there’s one aspect of the film everyone appreciated, it’s the flashback portions featuring Charan as Appanna. Shankar’s decision to keep this portion so short was a big mistake. Ram Charan as Appanna did extremely well, and everyone felt the flashback should have been longer.
Many felt that instead of adding unnecessary drama, Shankar should have filled the second half from start to pre-climax with Appanna’s episodes. The film would have been more engaging, and people could have connected much more.
Shankar decided against it and brought unnecessary election officer drama in 2nd half and that is the main reason for the film to get mixed word of mouth. Had Appanna’s character received more screen time and detailing, till pre-climax, the climax of making Ram Charan as CM would have received a unanimously positive response.
