Game Changer Movie Review
Star Cast - Ram Charan, Kiara Advani
Director - Shankar
Rating Score -> 3/5
Game Changer is a well-executed commercial film. Shankar's grand scale and Ram Charan's brilliant performance, combined with strong supporting roles and technical excellence, make it a compelling watch for enthusiasts of the genre.

Rating Score -> 3/5
Game Changer is like the quintessential masala entertainer. The film serves up a little bit of everything in its narrative — action, drama, music, romance, exotic locations and sentiment. The screenwriting could have been better. The action and the dialogue baazi make the film entertaining, but the predictable storytelling and and writing leave a lot to be desired in the political drama.

Rating Score -> n/a
Game Changer is strictly average, even as you’re rooting for it to be something more. It succeeds in staying focused on what it sets out to do - call out corruption in Indian politics - but gives you nothing more. And after Shankar’s last outing, Indian 2, maybe that’s a win.

Rating Score -> 2/5
Ram Charan’s earnestness is overshadowed by his inability to be as fluid or fragile as Rajinikanth or Chiyaan Vikram. He carries the role with one-note ease and barely breaks a sweat.
5. India Today -
Rating Score -> 2.5/5
Director Shankar's Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, Kiara Advani and SJ Suryah, is a handbook on electoral politics. The film looks spectacular, but the story is mediocre at its best.

#GameChanger: ENTERTAINER. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ It's a #RamCharan show... Predictable plot elevated by impactful dramatic moments... Ordinary first half, lengthy but gripping second... Not #Shankar's best, but keeps you engrossed and entertained. #GameChangerReview

Rating Score -> 2/5
Game Changer is never found wanting in the matter of giving plausibility a wide berth and finding easy answers to complex conundrums. The film has a second half that is far better than the first, but taken together they do not add up.
8. Indian Express -
Rating Score -> 2.5/5
A riveting Ram Charan anchors a middling Shankar showreel that needed more upgrades. Despite the film blowing hot and cold with an erratic consistency, the Ram Charan-Shankar film is truly held together by consistently good performances
9. Rediff -
Rating Score -> 2.5/5
A labour leader with a stuttering problem hiring a speaker for his party meetings, a mysterious mother figure still filling out rooms with petitions addressed to the chief minister as an aftermath of a past tragedy, and many more interesting ideas are thrown in with genuine conviction. But thanks to the faulty writing, none of them come together.
10. Komal Nahta -
Rating Score -> n/a
Game Changer is a good entertainer and has the merits to do well, but lack of promotion (of the Hindi dubbed version) will come in the way of realisation of its business potential.
11. The Hindu -
Rating Score -> n/a
The fun is tailormade for instant gratification. Director Shankar’s latest has fun segments featuring Ram Charan and SJ Suryah, but the hasty narrative leaves little room for emotional heft.
