Game Changer Confirmed OTT Release Date: The buzz around streaming of Ram Charan¡¯s actioner has been much more than its actual theatrical outing. Released worldwide on 10th January 2025, the film could barely find any audiences on the big screen but was strangely awaited on OTT like anything. Now that its arrival has been officially announced, here are five things you must know about Game Changer.
For the OTT consumers, Game Changer will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video from 7th February 2025 in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada. The gap between the film¡¯s theatrical and OTT release is less than a month. The Hindi and Malayalam versions are expected to be available after an 8-week gap from its theatrical release date.
After passing the UPSC Exam, Ram Nandan is about to start his job as a district magistrate in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. On his way, a gang, sent by his college rival, attacks him. His rival, Bobbili Mopidevi, works in sand mining and wants to become the Chief Minister, but is afraid his older brother might get the position instead.
Once Ram starts his job, he calls a meeting with the wrongdoers in the district. Initially, they mock him, thinking he¡¯s joking. But Ram takes them to a harbour, where he discovers they¡¯re not selling rice as they claimed, but are involved in selling narcotics. What Ram does next and the showdown that follows is the basic crux of Game Changer.
Directed by S. Shankar in his Telugu debut, Game Changer is produced by Dil Raju and Shirish under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations. Based on a story by Karthik Subbaraj, this Thaman S musical is cinematographed by Tirru and edited by Shameer Muhammed and Ruben. Opened to mixed-to-negative reviews, Game Changer bombed at the box office miserably.
Other than Ram, the thriller also stars Kiara Advani, S. J. Suryah, Samuthirakani, Srikanth, Prakash Raj, Nassar, Samuthirakani, Sushanth, Jayaram, Praveena, Naveen Chandra, Vatsan Chakravarthy, Murali Sharma, Harish Uthaman, Subhalekha Sudhakar, and Rajeev Kanakala among others.
The Times of India rated the film 3.0 out of 5 and a part of their review read, ¡°The screenplay¡¯s didactic tone, though impactful at times, can feel heavy-handed, leaving little room for subtlety. Overall, 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.¡±
