Following the global success of RRR, Telugu star Ram Charan is returning to the screen with Game Changer after a three-year hiatus. The political thriller will hit the theaters on January 10, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Sankranti. Helmed by Shankar, the big-budget entertainer is also releasing in Hindi and is expected to shatter box office records.
With just two days to go before its release, Game Changer’s advance bookings have started on a strong note. In the Hindi belt, the movie is being released by AA Films on a scale of over 2000 screens with a focus on the mass and single belts.
As of Wednesday evening, Game Changer had sold around 1000 tickets in the top 3 national chains, and by Thursday night, the film is expected to sell approximately 7,500 tickets. Meanwhile, a report in Pinkvilla stated that the film may earn between Rs 2.25 crore and Rs 3.00 crore on its opening day.
On the other hand, another report by tracking website Sacnilk states that Ram Charan’s movie has garnered around Rs 1.86 cr in the pre-sales business across the country. This figure also includes the blocked seats and advance booking, totaling Rs 4.36 crore in India. The revenue is for Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi versions.
Meanwhile, a source told India Today that Game Changer is expected to open at Rs 5 crore in Hindi, citing, “Shankar and Ram Charan are known faces, but their box office pull in the Hindi market will depend upon the film’s content.”
Shankar’s last film, Indian 2, was a debacle, so let’s see if he can bounce back and deliver a hit with Ram Charan.
