Game Changer box office collection day 2 (updated live): Ram Charan-Shankar film to beat Indian 2 lifetime?

Game Changer box office update at 6 pm

The website reports that the film made ₹12.33 crore net in India on its first Saturday, taking the total collection to ₹63.33 crore as of 6 pm. Compared to Shankar’s previous film, Indian 2, with Kamal Haasan in the lead role, his Telugu debut is faring well. Indian 2 had collected ₹25.6 crore on its opening day, with a lifetime collection of ₹81.32 crore net in India. It remains to be seen if Game Changer will surpass that on its second day. Despite being a weekend, the Telugu version had only 20.66% occupancy for the morning and 31.52% for the afternoon shows—a better percentage than the film’s Tamil and Hindi versions.

Competition from Sankranthi releases

Game Changer received mixed reviews upon release, with Ram’s performance being praised and parts of the film being criticised as outdated. The film had high expectations on it but it looks like it’ll face stiff competition from other Sankranthi releases now. Bobby Kolli’s Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Urvashi Rautela, Shraddha Srinath and Pragya Jaiswal-starrer Daaku Maharaaj will be released in theatres on January 12. Anil Ravipudi’s Venkatesh, Meenakshi Chaudhary and Aishwarya Rajesh-starrer Sankranthiki Vasthunam will be released on January 14. Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, will release 20 minutes of added footage from January 17.
