 "Game Changer")
Ram Charan kickstarted 2025 on a grand note with the release of his latest pan-India flick, Game Changer. Helmed by renowned filmmaker Shankar, Game Changer hit the screens worldwide on Friday. The film took the box office by storm with huge openings and super-positive reports.
Game Changer had a stellar opening, raking in a worldwide Gross Box Office Collection (GBOC) of more than Rs. 186 crore on its first day, according to the makers.
According to Sacnilk, the movie raked in Rs 51.25 crore in India on its opening day. The film, however, fell short of matching up to the earnings of Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer RRR, which had made Rs 133 crore on opening day.
The movie’s success extended beyond the Telugu states to dominate the North Indian circuit and international markets. With this phenomenal start, Game Changer is set to maintain its momentum throughout the Sankranthi festive weekend. Ram Charan further consolidates his pan-India stardom with this blockbuster hit.
