After a stellar opening, Ram Charan’s political drama Game Changer sees a steep decline on Day 8 but maintains momentum to surpass ₹120 crore in India.
January 18, 2025: Ram Charan’s highly anticipated political drama Game Changer continues its journey at the box office, albeit with a noticeable slowdown. After a massive opening of ₹51 crore, the film’s collection dropped significantly on Day 8. According to early estimates by Sacnilk.com, the movie earned ₹2.65 crore on Thursday, bringing its total Indian box office earnings to ₹120.30 crore.
Worldwide Box Office Update
While the makers had initially claimed an opening-day worldwide gross of ₹186 crore, these figures were met with skepticism and allegations of inflated numbers. According to verified data from Sacnilk.com, Game Changer had collected ₹30 crore overseas by the end of Day 7. Combining domestic and international collections, the movie’s global earnings now stand at ₹164.8 crore.
Public Reception
Despite the drop in collections, the film has been widely appreciated by audiences. Viewers have praised it as a “blockbuster hit” and the “perfect Sankranti gift.” Game Changer marks Ram Charan’s return to the big screen after a five-year hiatus following his role in the globally successful RRR. Fans have expressed their excitement over seeing the star in dual roles.
