Following 'RRR', the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer' starring Ram Charan, directed by renowned director Shankar and produced by Telugu producer Dil Raju, is set to be a political action entertainer scheduled to release as a festive gift on January 10. As the release date approaches, the film's team is focusing on promotions, including locking in the date for the teaser release. It has been announced that the teaser will be released in Uttar Pradesh. Despite having two Telugu states, why is the teaser launch event planned in the North? It seems there is a master plan behind this decision.



When is the teaser?



In the upcoming film 'Game Changer,' Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars as the heroine alongside another heroine, Anjali, who plays a significant role. The film features Naveen Chandra, Sunil, Srikanth, Bollywood actor Harry Josh, Kollywood actors SJ Suryah, Samuthirakani, and Kannada actor Jayaram in key roles. Karthik Subbaraj provides the story, and Sai Madhav Burra delivers the dialogues. Recently, the movie team has fixed the teaser release for November 9th and announced that the launch event will take place in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.







Why in Lucknow?



Initially, the 'Game Changer' teaser launch event was planned to be held in Hyderabad. However, due to local conditions and permissions, the venue was shifted to Lucknow. Given the film's pan-India release, nationwide promotions are deemed crucial. The movie team believes that starting the official promotions in the North could enhance accessibility and engagement with the audience there. Moreover, starting from the teaser release, the team plans to keep the buzz alive by releasing updates every two weeks. Ram Charan is performing dual roles, and it remains to be seen if the teaser will reveal the looks of these two characters.







The First of its Kind!



Tamil cinema's leading director, Shankar, has directed numerous blockbuster hits such as 'Gentleman', 'Premikudu', 'Bharateeyudu', 'Jeans', 'Oke Okkadu', 'Boys', 'Aparichitudu', 'Sivaji', and 'Robo', which were all popular in Telugu through dubbing. 'Game Changer' marks Shankar’s first direct Telugu film, and it is also his first collaboration with Ram Charan. Known for making films with strong messages, Shankar has crafted 'Game Changer' in the same vein, and it appears the teaser has been cut to introduce its theme. It will be interesting to see how much the teaser excites the audience.







A Highlight for the Film!



Recently, the 'Game Changer' team released a special poster hinting at an upcoming teaser. It sparked interest with an image of Charan sitting at a table with numerous gangsters charging towards him, suggesting it's the film’s introduction scene. Rumors suggest this mob fight will give viewers goosebumps similar to 'RRR' and is expected to be a major highlight of the film. After the fight, Charan reportedly boards a helicopter, followed by the song 'Ra Macha Macha.'







Record Business?



Trade circles predict 'Game Changer' will do substantial business in the Telugu states, with potential theatrical business around ₹150 crores from Andhra Pradesh, Ceded, and Nizam areas. Originally, such high business figures were not anticipated when the film was scheduled for a December release. However, with the release now set for Sankranthi, the business expectations have significantly increased, according to film circles.






Game Changer Teaser Set to Drop in Lucknow: Ram Charan's High-Stakes Film Heads North for Pan-India Impact!


Starring mega power star Ram Charan, the latest film 'Game Changer', directed by Tamil star director Shankar, is a pan-Indian film set to release during the Sankranti festival next year. It will premiere globally on January 10. However, there has been some restlessness among mega fans regarding promotions and updates about 'Game Changer'. As the release date approaches, there is a growing call for the movie team to focus on promotions. Producer Dil Raju has made interesting remarks and announced the dates and locations of the promotional events in advance, much to the delight of mega fans.



Promotion Plans Revealed



Producer Dil Raju has provided clarity on the promotion events for 'Game Changer'. During a press meet held in Chennai, he revealed their promotion plans. Dil Raju stated that the teaser would be launched in Lucknow on the 9th of this month. Following that, a major event is planned in Dallas, USA. Another event is scheduled to take place in Chennai later on. Special events will be conducted in the first week of January across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. He also announced that 'Game Changer' will be released as a special for Sankranti on January 10th, mentioning that the film includes songs, commercial elements, and also a social message.

Pre-Release Event in Tirupati!



The movie team plans to hold a grand pre-release event for 'Game Changer' in Tirupati. If conditions permit, this event will take place in an open space in the presence of hundreds of thousands of fans. There are possibilities that Andhra Pradesh's Deputy Chief Minister and Ram Charan’s uncle, power star Pawan Kalyan, could be invited as the chief guest. Given the relationship with Ram Charan, it is unlikely that Pawan Kalyan would decline the invitation. Additionally, there is a plan to organize another promotional event in Hyderabad.







Dil Raju’s 50th Film



'Game Changer' marks the 50th film in the prominent producer Dil Raju's career. He mentioned that director Shankar shared the story with him three years ago, which instantly piqued his interest. Co-producer Aditya Ram, who is a good friend and has produced four Telugu films, has been busy with business in Chennai. However, when approached to participate in the production of 'Game Changer', Aditya Ram immediately agreed. Sri Venkateswara Creations and Aditya Ram Movies will collaborate not only for 'Game Changer' but also for future projects.







Concerns Over Shankar’s Form!



After the blockbuster 'RRR', the mega fans were thrilled about Ram Charan's next film with director Shankar. However, the recent disaster of 'Bharateeyudu 2' directed by Shankar dampened their spirits. Netizens posted extensively that 'Bharateeyudu 2' didn’t feel like a typical Shankar film. Previous films directed by Shankar like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' also performed poorly at the box office, raising doubts among mega fans about his direction. Concerns are being expressed that if 'Game Changer' doesn’t perform well, it could lead to severe disappointment. On the other hand, 'Game Changer' is critical for Shankar to get back on the path of success. Producer Dil Raju also has high hopes for the film after facing significant losses with a 'Family Star' movie.







Trending as Unpredictable



The term 'Unpredictable' has been trending on social media for the past two days related to 'Game Changer', with many wondering why. Film industry sources say that 'Unpredictable' is a powerful line from the 'Game Changer' teaser spoken by Charan. Fans are already speculating in which context Charan will use this word in the film. It is also mentioned that the upcoming teaser on November 9th will have a runtime of 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Top 20 Premium Wedding Gifts Over ₹5000 for a Truly Special Start!


The upcoming film 'Game Changer', featuring the stellar combination of star director Shankar and mega power star Ram Charan, is set to release as a Sankranthi gift. Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars opposite Charan. As part of the movie promotions, two songs have recently been released to a great response. The makers are now gearing up to release a third song, which is currently causing quite a stir due to its extravagant budget. Let’s take a look at the details.



Rs. 20 Crores for a Single Song!



The first two songs from 'Game Changer', 'Jaragandi Jaragandi' and 'Ra Macha Macha', have received a positive reception. Particularly, 'Ra Macha Macha' has garnered millions of views on YouTube and is trending nationwide. The makers are now preparing to launch the third single by the end of October or the first week of November. While the first two songs were energetic, the third single is set to be a melody. According to the latest buzz, the budget for this third song is over Rs. 20 crores, though this has yet to be confirmed by the makers.







The Budget of Three Hit Films!



Recent Telugu releases 'Aay', 'Committee Kurrollu', and 'Mathu Vadalara 2' have been successful and well-received by audiences. These films were made on modest budgets and have achieved good box office returns. The combined budget of these three films is estimated at around Rs. 20 crores. Rumors that a single song from 'Game Changer' cost Rs. 20 crores are sparking debate. Reports suggest that the second single 'Ra Macha Macha' also had a budget of Rs. 6-10 crores, with hundreds of dancers performing in various costumes. The hefty spending on songs alone is drawing criticism.







Does Shankar Need to Change His Approach?



Tamil star director Shankar is known for the spectacular songs in his films, which have been a hallmark of movies like 'Bharateeyudu', 'Jeans', 'Oke Okkadu', 'Aparichitudu', 'Shivaji', 'Robo', 'Snehithudu', and 'Robo 2.0'. Shankar tries to provide a new experience to the audience by shooting songs in beautiful international locations. However, after a series of flops, there's growing concern among producers about Shankar's recent track record. The film community suggests that if Shankar doesn't adjust his approach, producers may be reluctant to work with him due to the high financial risks.







Record Price for OTT Rights!



The OTT rights for 'Game Changer' have reportedly been sold for a record price. Amazon Prime has acquired the streaming rights for Rs. 110 crores for the South Indian languages alone. The makers are also in talks to sell the Hindi digital rights to another streaming service. It is estimated that the total earnings from OTT could reach Rs. 150 crores. Even though 'Game Changer' is still two months away from release, selling the OTT rights for such a high amount is unprecedented in the industry.







Thandel vs Game Changer



'Game Changer' is officially set to release on January 10 as a Sankranthi gift. On the other hand, Naga Chaitanya’s 'Thandel' is also being prepped for a Sankranthi release. The industry buzz is keen on the clash between the heirs of Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna, who have faced off several times before. After the global success of 'RRR', Ram Charan is looking to solidify his stature with 'Game Changer'. Meanwhile, Chaitanya is determined to hit a success with 'Thandel' after the mixed responses to his recent projects. The battle between Charan and Chaitanya will be one to watch.






Ram Charan's 'Game Changer' Sets Records with ₹20 Crore Song and Massive OTT Deal


The film 'Bharateeyudu', which featured the successful combo of Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, created a sensation in the past. Its sequel 'Bharateeyudu 2' was released on July 12 this year amidst high pan-India expectations but unexpectedly ended up as a disaster. The film drastically failed to meet the audience's expectations. However, during the climax of this film, director Shankar confirmed the coming of 'Bharateeyudu 3' with a special trailer. Recently, there’s buzzing excitement around the third part, with rumors suggesting it’s heading directly to OTT. Let’s try to find out the truth.



‘Bharateeyudu 3’ Heading Straight to OTT!



Another film under the direction of Shankar, starring Kamal Haasan, 'Bharateeyudu 3' is in continuation of their previous successful ventures. The second part, released in July this year, failed to win the audience's favor, leading to theatrical issues for the third installment. There seems to be reluctance from theater groups to take a risk on it. In this context, makers are preparing to directly release the third part on OTT, as is strongly circulated in Kollywood circles. However, netizens comment that releasing a film by Shankar and Kamal Haasan, who have a pan-India reputation, directly on OTT could be seen as a disgrace.







Confirmed by OTT Circles!



It's confirmed by Netflix circles that 'Bharateeyudu 3' will definitely be coming to OTT. There's a chance it will be streaming by January 2025, likely as a treat for Sankranti. An official announcement is expected soon. Meanwhile, 'Bharateeyudu 2', despite its flop talk in theaters, streamed on Netflix but failed to achieve expected viewership levels. Due to this, it’s rumored that the OTT rights for 'Bharateeyudu 3' might sell for a lower price.







Harsh Trolls for 'Bharateeyudu 2'!



In 'Bharateeyudu 2', Kamal Haasan appeared as a 106-year-old man, which brought significant trolling for the unrealistic portrayal of such an aged person performing action sequences. Critics pointed out that the plot and narrative of 'Bharateeyudu 2' were poor, and it did not resemble a typical Shankar film.







Will a Game Changer Save the Day?



The film 'Bharateeyudu 2' directed by Shankar was a massive disappointment. Following underperformances of Shankar's earlier films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' at the box office, there's a pressing need for a game-changer to revive his success streak. The success of this movie could potentially reestablish Shankar’s fame at a pan-India level, while failure might put his career at risk. Similarly, for producer Dil Raju, this game-changer is crucial to recover from past losses incurred under the 'Family Star' banner.






Bharateeyudu 3 Heading Straight to OTT: Can Shankar and Kamal Haasan Bounce Back After 'Bharateeyudu 2' Flop?


The film 'Devara', directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr NTR, is shaking the Indian box office. It has garnered more than Rs. 325 crores in just the first four days. It is now rapidly marching towards the Rs. 500 crore club. However, several films from the South have already surpassed the Rs. 500 crore mark. What are these films? How many days did it take to reach Rs. 500 crores? What are the overall collections? Who are the directors of these films? Which star heroes acted in them? Let’s find out about this special feature.



Kalki 2898 AD&nbsp;



Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, the film 'Kalki 2898 AD' has shaken the box office. The film managed to collect Rs. 555 crores within just four days of its release and has made an overall collection of Rs. 1200 crores, standing as the highest-grossing film of the year.







Animal&nbsp;



The film 'Animal', directed by Telugu director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor, performed well at the box office. It garnered over Rs. 500 crores in just six days and reached an overall collection of Rs. 917.82 crores. A sequel to this movie is also planned.







Salaar&nbsp;



'Salaar', directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Prabhas, created a cash rain at the box office. It joined the Rs. 500 crore club in just seven days and collected a total of Rs. 700 crores. Malayalam star hero Prithviraj played a friend to Prabhas in this film. A sequel to this movie is also on the cards.







RRR



Directed by SS Rajamouli, 'RRR' with Ram Charan and Jr NTR as heroes, broke several records. It earned Rs. 570 crores in just the first three days and eventually collected Rs. 1810 crores overall.







KGF 2&nbsp;



Directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Kannada actor Yash, 'KGF 2' collected Rs. 560 crores within the first four days of its release. Globally, the film grossed around Rs. 1200-1250 crores. The success of 'KGF' and 'KGF 2' has brought director Prashanth Neel and hero Yash into the pan-India spotlight.







Baahubali&nbsp;



Directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Prabhas, 'Baahubali' transformed the fate of Tollywood. This film showed the strength of Tollywood to the country for the first time. It entered the Rs. 500 crore club three weeks after release and collected a total of Rs. 600-650 crores.







Baahubali 2&nbsp;



The sequel to 'Baahubali', 'Baahubali 2', set global records by collecting Rs. 508 crores in just the first three days. Overall, this film garnered Rs. 1810 crores, making it the second highest-grossing film in India.







Robo 2.0&nbsp;



Despite receiving mixed reviews, 'Robo 2.0' directed by Shankar and starring Rajinikanth, managed to perform well at the box office. It entered the Rs. 500 crore club in the first seven days and eventually amassed between Rs. 700 - 800 crores. Akshay Kumar played the antagonist in this film and received notable acclaim.







Jawan&nbsp;



Directed by Tamil director Atlee and starring Bollywood’s Shah Rukh Khan, 'Jawan' was released in September last year and became a blockbuster. It achieved Rs. 500 crores in just four days and made a total of Rs. 1148.32 crores at the box office.






Box Office Titans: Devara's Meteoric Rise and the South's Rs. 500 Crore Champions!


Following the massive success of 'RRR', Ram Charan is starring in the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer', directed by Tamil cinema's renowned Director Shankar. This political action thriller, produced by prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju, has generated significant buzz among the audience. As fans eagerly await its release, let's dive into some recent updates, including a shocking piece of news circulating online.



Ram Charan Says No!



There's a strong buzz that 'Game Changer' is set to release this December. Having completed the shooting recently, Ram Charan has shifted his focus to his next project under director Buchi Babu's 'RC16', for which he has grown out his hair and bulked up. However, it's reported that Director Shankar is dissatisfied with certain scenes from 'Game Changer' and wants them reshot. Producer Dil Raju is said to have communicated this to Ram Charan, who has reportedly refused. Ram Charan believes that changing back to the 'Game Changer' look would delay the shooting of 'RC16', which already has scheduled dates, making it difficult to adjust.







Dissatisfaction with Shankar!



'Game Changer' is Ram Charan's prestigious project post-'RRR', to which he has dedicated considerable time. However, Director Shankar has been simultaneously directing 'Indian 2', which has caused multiple breaks in the shooting schedule of 'Game Changer'. At one point, Shankar completely halted 'Game Changer', leading to a two-month shooting delay. This repeated disruption has reportedly frustrated Ram Charan. Now that the film's shooting is complete, the idea of reshooting does not sit well with him, especially after dedicating two years to the project. The industry buzz is that Ram Charan's refusal is also due to his commitment to 'RC16'.







The Second Single is Coming!



'Mega' expectations surround the 'Game Changer' film. Any minor update about this movie instantly goes viral online. The makers have officially announced the release of the second single from the movie. On September 28th, the promo for the second song 'Ra Macha Macha' will be released, expected to be a solid mass beat by musical sensation Thaman. The first song 'Jaragandi Jaragandi' from 'Game Changer' was a sensation, which adds to the excitement.

All Eyes on 'Game Changer'!



Director Shankar's recent release 'Indian 2' underwhelmed the audience, leading to significant online criticism that it didn't feel like a typical Shankar film. His previous films like 'Robot 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' also underperformed at the box office. Thus, 'Game Changer' has become critical for Shankar to regain his successful track. Producer Dil Raju also faces pressure as his last film 'Family Star', featuring Vijay Deverakonda, flopped dramatically at the box office, incurring heavy losses. The industry is now abuzz with hopes that 'Game Changer' will overturn the recent failures. Both the director and producer are pinning their hopes on the success of this Ram Charan movie.






Ram Charan Rejects Reshoots for 'Game Changer' Amid Shankar's Demands?


Following 'RRR,' Ram Charan stars in the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer,' directed by Tamil star director Shankar. This political action thriller is produced by prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju. Fans are eagerly waiting to know when this film will hit the screens. Recently, a significant update regarding the release date of 'Game Changer' has emerged, suggesting a big surprise on Vinayaka Chavithi. Let's look at the details.



Release Date Locked?



It appears that a major update is ready for the film 'Game Changer.' The movie team is planning to unveil a poster with the much-awaited release date. The film is set for a pan-India release on December 20, as a Christmas gift. There's buzz that an official announcement regarding the release date will be made on September 7, during Vinayaka Chavithi, potentially through a special poster. Producer Dil Raju recently confirmed at a movie event that 'Game Changer' would be released in December, delighting mega fans.







Teaser Ready to Launch



So far, the 'Game Changer' movie has not released content up to the expected level. In response, the makers are preparing to release a teaser soon. They plan to surprise mega fans with the teaser this month, giving a full treat with two updates within the same month. Industry insiders speculate that the teaser might be released in the last week of September. If this happens, it will be a joyous occasion for Ram Charan's fans.







Why Only for Christmas!



It seems that mega hero Ram Charan is following in the footsteps of pan-India star Prabhas. Prabhas' film 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire' was released last Christmas and achieved blockbuster success. However, there's a reason why 'Salaar' was released during Christmas. With Mahesh Babu (Guntur Karam), Nagarjuna (Naa Saami Ranga), Venkatesh (Saindhav), and Teja Sajja (HanuMan) competing in the 2024 Sankranti season, it was decided to release 'Salaar' solo during Christmas for better box office results. Now, Ram Charan &amp; Co are also contemplating a similar strategy. With Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' locked for Sankranti 2025, and other major films like Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's 'Good Bad Ugly', and 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' also likely to compete, a Christmas release would enable Ram Charan to make a significant impact at the box office, just like Prabhas.







Director Shankar's High Hopes!



Director Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2' was met with severe disappointment, with netizens commenting that it did not feel like a typical Shankar film. His previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to return to the path of success. Producer Dil Raju is also hoping to recover from the disappointment of his last film 'Family Star,' starring Vijay Deverakonda, which was a significant failure at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are pinning their hopes on the success of the Charan movie.






'Game Changer' Release Date Locked announcement on Vinayaka Chavithi?


Following the blockbuster 'RRR', Ram Charan is starring in 'Game Changer', a political drama directed by Tamil cinema's renowned director Shankar and produced by Tollywood's notable producer, Dil Raju. Recently, Dil Raju hinted at a Christmas release, which had mega fans celebrating. However, new issues have surfaced that could potentially delay the film's release this year.



What's the Reason?



There's strong buzz that 'Game Changer', starring mega power star Ram Charan, might not release this year as planned. Although initially set for a Christmas release, it's now uncertain due to incomplete shooting. It's reported that more than 15 days of shooting are still pending, and director Shankar is still scouting for new locations. This could mean more time is needed to finish the shooting, followed by post-production and dubbing, possibly pushing the release past December.







2024 Summer Release?



The 'Game Changer' film, a collaboration between Ram Charan and Shankar, might move from December to the summer of 2025. Even though there's a chance for a Sankranti release if December is missed, several films are already slated for the Pongal competition. The makers of megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Vishwambhara’ have announced a Sankranti release. Similarly, films starring Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi, and Ajith’s ‘Good Bad Ugly’, and ‘Shatamanam Bhavati 2’ are also aiming for the same festive release. In this context, it seems unwise for the 'Game Changer' team to join the race. Given the exam season in February and March, cinema pundits are speculating a possible release during the summer holidays.







High Hopes on Game Changer!



Director Shankar’s recent release 'Indian 2' disappointed audiences, failing to meet expectations and earning criticism online. His previous films such as 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to regain his successful track. Producer Dil Raju is also counting on this film to recover from the financial losses incurred from Vijay Deverakonda's 'Family Star', which flopped at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are heavily reliant on the success of this Charan movie.







Kiara’s Poster Hits the Mark!



In 'Game Changer', Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars as the female lead. Recently, on her birthday, the film team released a special poster where Kiara looks stunning in a multi-colored lehenga. This look is from the movie's first single, 'Jaragandi Jaragandi'. In addition to Charan and Kiara, S.J. Surya, Anjali, Srikanth, Nazar, Naveen Chandra, and Samuthirakani play significant roles in the film.&nbsp;






Game Changer: Mega Fans in Tension.. 'Game Changer' Not Releasing This Year?


Following the blockbuster success of 'RRR', Mega Power Star Ram Charan is set to appear in 'Game Changer', directed by renowned Tamil cinema director Shankar. This film has generated high expectations among audiences, including Mega fans and regular moviegoers alike. Recently, the film's producer, Dil Raju, sparked further excitement by making intriguing remarks and hinting at the release date for 'Game Changer', leading to a flurry of eager posts from fans about the confirmed release date.



Is It Releasing on That Day?



Produced by the prominent producer Dil Raju, 'Game Changer' is being crafted as a political action thriller. At the recent pre-release event of 'Raayan', Dil Raju responded about the release of 'Game Changer', hinting at a Christmas release. This suggests that 'Game Changer' might hit the screens on December 25 as a Christmas gift. It marks the 50th film produced under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, making it a prestigious project for Dil Raju. The editing work for this movie is currently underway.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1815052022200013098




Ram Charan in Prabhas' Path!



It appears that Mega Hero Ram Charan is emulating Pan India Star Prabhas. Last year, Prabhas starred in 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire,' which was released as a Christmas gift and became a blockbuster, grossing Rs. 700 crores worldwide on December 22, 2023. The decision to release during Christmas was strategic, aimed at avoiding competition with major stars like Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh, who had films lined up for the Sankranti festival in January 2024. Similarly, Ram Charan and his team are considering a solo Christmas release to ensure strong box office returns without facing competition from other big names. For Sankranti 2025, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' has been scheduled, and films like Venkatesh’s new project with Anil Ravipudi and Ajith’s 'Good Bad Ugly', as well as 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' are also expected to release. Thus, releasing 'Game Changer' as a Christmas gift could potentially replicate the box office impact seen with 'Salaar.'







High Hopes for Game Changer!



Following the disappointment of Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2', which failed to meet audience expectations and was widely criticized online, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar's return to success. Shankar's previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office, adding to the pressure. Dil Raju, too, is looking to rebound from the significant losses incurred from Vijay Deverakonda's 'Family Star', which was a box office disaster. The industry is abuzz with talk that 'Game Changer' will be a significant turnaround for both the director and the producer. All hopes for success are now pinned on this Ram Charan movie.







Is This the Story?



A leading OTT platform, Amazon Prime, has already revealed the storyline of 'Game Changer'. Announcing its upcoming films on their platform, Amazon Prime unveiled the plot of 'Game Changer', which revolves around an honest IAS officer fighting political corruption. Reports suggest that Charan will be seen in dual roles as father and son. Kiara Advani is starring opposite Ram Charan. Other significant roles are played by Srikanth, Sunil, Naveen Chandra, Jayaram, Samuthirakani, and Anjali. S. S. Thaman is providing the music for this film.

Latest OTT releases Telugu: Must-watch Films and Series This Weekend!


The film 'Bharateeyudu 2', starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Shankar, is facing difficulties at the box office. Negative reviews from its first showing have significantly impacted its earnings. As a result, the revenue over Saturday and Sunday was low, causing the weekend collections to plummet. There is now widespread speculation that the film will be a disaster.



How much were the weekend collections?



Trade circles announced that 'Bharateeyudu 2' only managed to garner ₹59 crores over the weekend. It earned ₹25 crores on its first day, and significantly less, ₹18.2 crores on Saturday and ₹15.1 crores on Sunday. Saturday collections for the Tamil version were ₹13.7 crores, Telugu ₹3.2 crores, and Hindi ₹1.3 crores. Expected to increase, Sunday's collections instead dropped further, making ₹15.1 crores in India, with the Tamil version alone bringing in ₹11 crores. Telugu and Hindi versions only made ₹2.8 crores and ₹1.3 crores respectively.







Further decline expected!



With collections failing to meet expectations in the first weekend, the film crew is expressing concern. If this is the situation in the first week, there is apprehension about how much the collections could drop in the coming days. It's reported that some theater owners, especially in the Telugu states, are considering halting the screenings due to low turnout. Therefore, from Monday onwards, 'Bharateeyudu 2' is expected to perform even worse, with the Tamil market remaining the only hope for the film.







Day 1 collections?



Negative reviews impacted 'Bharateeyudu 2' on its first day, earning only ₹25.6 crores (GROSS) as reported by trade circles. The Tamil version collected the highest with ₹16.5 crores. Telugu earned ₹7.9 crores and Hindi just ₹1.2 crores. The film completely failed to attract the Hindi audience, leading to dismal collections in the north. The lack of interest from the Telugu audience was also noted.







A significant drop compared to other films!



Compared to Kamal Haasan's previous film 'Vikram', which earned ₹60 crores on its opening day, 'Bharateeyudu 2' saw a drastic fall in its Day 1 collections. His recent villain role in 'Kalki 2898 AD' garnered over ₹190 crores on its first day. Director Shankar's last film 'Robo 2.0' also created a record by collecting ₹93 crores on its opening day. However, 'Bharateeyudu 2' released on Friday didn't even come close to these films, collecting less than half of their Day 1 earnings, which surprised trade analysts.







Why did the collections drop?



The primary reason for the disappointing Day 1 collections of 'Bharateeyudu 2' is believed to be its failure to meet expectations. An outdated story and a weak screenplay significantly hurt the film. While the social message provided some strength, the lack of father-daughter sentiment, which was a plus in 'Bharateeyudu', turned out to be a negative. The songs also failed to impress, further impacting the film negatively. Overall, the sequel disappointed many, as netizens widely expressed their dissatisfaction. These factors likely contributed to the poor box office performance of 'Bharateeyudu 2'.







What is the story about?



Aravindan (Siddharth) and his friends fight against corruption and injustices within the country. They spread awareness through social media videos and urge the return of Bharateeyudu. In response, the veteran freedom fighter Senapathi (Kamal Haasan), known for his previous anti-corruption crusades, returns to India. He takes decisive action against those deeply involved in corruption and motivates the youth. However, unexpected developments stir public dissent against Bharateeyudu. What exactly unfolded? Why did the public turn against Senapathi? What triggered their anger? Did Bharateeyudu succeed in his objectives upon returning? This forms the crux of the story.






Indian 2 Weekend Collections: 'Bharateeyudu 2' takes a significant drop in earnings. How much over the weekend?


The film 'Bharateeyudu 2', directed by Shankar and starring Kamal Haasan, came with high expectations due to the blockbuster success of its predecessor, 'Bharateeyudu'. Released globally on Friday, July 12, the film failed to meet audience expectations and received mixed reviews on its opening day. Disappointed by the film, some netizens expressed their dissatisfaction on social media platforms. How did 'Bharateeyudu 2' perform in terms of day one collections? And how did the mixed reviews impact its earnings? Let's explore.



Day 1 Collections:



The negative reviews for 'Bharateeyudu 2' seem to have impacted its first-day collections significantly. According to trade sources, the film grossed Rs. 25.6 crores on its opening day, with the Tamil version alone contributing Rs. 16.5 crores. In Telugu, it earned Rs. 7.9 crores, and in Hindi, a mere Rs. 1.2 crores. Trade analysts pointed out that the film failed to captivate the Hindi-speaking audience, resulting in notably poor collections in the north. Additionally, the Telugu audience also showed limited interest in the movie, as noted by film analysts.







A Significant Drop in Collections!



Compared to Kamal Haasan’s previous film 'Vikram', which earned Rs. 60 crores on its opening day, 'Bharateeyudu 2' saw a substantial drop in day one collections. Even his recent antagonist role in 'Kalki 2898 AD', which debuted with more than Rs. 190 crores, and director Shankar’s last film 'Robo 2.0', which grossed Rs. 93 crores on its first day, outperformed 'Bharateeyudu 2'. It is noteworthy that 'Indian 2' did not even come close to these films in terms of first-day earnings, baffling trade analysts.







Why the Decline in Revenue?



Film analysts believe the main reason for the disappointing first-day collections of 'Bharateeyudu 2' is its failure to meet expectations. An outdated story and a weak screenplay significantly harmed the film. Although the social message added some strength, the lack of the father-daughter sentiment, a key element in the original 'Bharateeyudu', was a major drawback. The songs also failed to impress, contributing to the negative impact on the movie. Netizens also posted extensively about their disappointment, suggesting that these factors likely led to the poor box office performance of 'Bharateeyudu 2'.







The Story



Aravindan (Siddharth) and his friends fight against corruption and injustices within the country. They spread awareness through social media videos and urge the return of Bharateeyudu. In response, the veteran freedom fighter Senapathi (Kamal Haasan), known for his previous anti-corruption crusades, returns to India. He takes decisive action against those deeply involved in corruption and motivates the youth. However, unexpected developments stir public dissent against Bharateeyudu. What exactly unfolded? Why did the public turn against Senapathi? What triggered their anger? Did Bharateeyudu succeed in his objectives upon returning? This forms the crux of the story.

20 Essential Sci-Fi Novels for New Readers: Start Your Journey into Futuristic Worlds!

<strong>Telugu Dumb Charades(Damsharas): Top 100 Movie Titles, Songs, Dialogues</strong>


The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring pan-India star Prabhas, was released worldwide on Thursday, June 27th, and is receiving rave reviews everywhere. With the positive talk coming from all sides, audiences are showing great enthusiasm for this movie. As 'Kalki' becomes a super hit, everyone's attention is now focused on its first-day collections. The film, a visual wonder in the mythology-futuristic genre, was estimated by trade circles to collect over ₹200 crores on its first day. Did 'Kalki' reach that mark? How did Prabhas' mania impact the box office? What all-time record did 'Kalki' create in the US? Let's find out in this review.



Day 1 Collections



All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of 'Kalki 2898 AD.' The production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, has officially announced the first day's earnings. The makers declared that 'Kalki' amassed ₹191.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide on its first day. They also released a special poster with the caption "Let's Celebrate Cinema." Initially, trade circles had predicted that 'Kalki' would collect over ₹200 crores on its first day, with analyses suggesting that all previous Day 1 records would be broken. However, 'Kalki' narrowly missed the ₹200 crore mark. Despite this, industry experts predict that 'Kalki' will surely join the ₹500 crore club by the end of this weekend.







All-Time Record



Prabhas' 'Kalki' is creating a sensation in North America. The local audience is impressed by the performances of Prabhas and other top stars. Consequently, 'Kalki' set an all-time record in North America. It garnered a whopping $3.8 million from North American premieres, the highest collection for an Indian film in that region. 'Kalki' has thus achieved the distinction of being the first Indian film to earn this much. Following 'Kalki' are 'RRR' ($3.46 million), 'Salaar' ($2.6 million), and 'Baahubali 2' ($2.45 million).







Overseas Collections



Combining premieres and first-day collections, trade circles report that 'Kalki' collected $5 million on its first day in America. Among Telugu films, 'Kalki' secured the 5th position for the highest collections in just one day. It also set a record as the fastest film to collect $5 million. If these collections continue, 'Kalki' is expected to set a benchmark overseas. Experts predict that the collections will increase further over the weekend.







'RRR' Record Safe!



According to trade figures, 'Kalki 2898 AD' could not surpass the 'RRR' record. 'RRR' collected ₹223 crores (GROSS) on its first day, making it the top Indian film in terms of Day 1 collections. As per trade estimates, 'Kalki 2898 AD' halted at ₹180 crores, leaving the 'RRR' record intact. 'Baahubali 2' stands in second place with ₹217 crores. While 'Kalki' couldn't break these records, it surpassed the records of 'KGF 2' (₹164.5 crores), 'Salaar' (₹158 crores), 'Adipurush' (₹136.8 crores), and 'Saaho' (₹125.6 crores) to secure a place in the top three.







Match Effect on Collections



The 'Kalki 2898 AD' team lagged in promoting the film on a grand scale like 'Baahubali 2' and 'RRR.' If they had done extensive promotions, the movie might have created new records. The T20 World Cup also affected the film's collections. The audience's interest in watching the India-England semi-final match on Thursday evening turned into a slight disadvantage. Additionally, Thursday being a working day impacted 'Kalki's' collections. However, with positive talk everywhere, the collections of 'Kalki' are expected to increase significantly over the weekend.

Kalki 2898 AD Day 1 Collections: Increased Ticket Prices still missed to beat RRR.


With just one day remaining until its release, anticipation is high for a blockbuster performance at the box office for the film 'Kalki 2898 AD.' Directed by Nag Ashwin and featuring pan-India star Prabhas, the movie is set to launch globally on Thursday. The film industry is keenly waiting to see if it will break any records with its first-day collections. Pre-bookings for 'Kalki' have been brisk, with tickets in cities like Mumbai selling for Rs. 3000 each. Even the state governments in the Telugu-speaking regions have approved an increase in ticket prices. This indicates that 'Kalki' could potentially set new benchmarks for opening day collections, with expectations of earning over Rs. 230 crores and possibly rewriting the history of the Indian box office. Let's now take a look at the top 10 films with the highest opening day collections in India.



Record Collections in the US

In some areas of the US, ticket prices for 'Kalki' have even reached up to Rs.1.5 lakh. Given this momentum, even a bit of positive buzz is likely to smash overseas records.
