The much-anticipated political thriller Game Changer, starring Ram Charan and directed by Shankar, has finally hit the big screens, and the first reactions from netizens are flooding Twitter. With fans eagerly waiting to witness Ram Charan’s dynamic performance, Twitter is now buzzing with mixed reactions—some calling it an “absolute mass entertainer,” while others feel the film struggles with pacing.
As expected from a Shankar-directed film, the grandeur, action-packed sequences, and a gripping storyline have drawn massive attention. However, some viewers pointed out the film’s predictability, dubbing it a “typical commercial potboiler.” Let’s dive into what Twitterati has to say about Game Changer.
Ram Charan’s Grand Entry Steals the Show
One of the most frequently mentioned highlights of the film is Ram Charan’s electrifying introduction scene. Fans have showered praise on how the mega power star owns the screen with his powerful screen presence. A user tweeted,
“First half ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5/5!! So far, fun mass, masala, entertainment. Awesome. That’s @shankarshanmugh for us! ️ What a technical brilliance!”
Another fan wrote,
Shankar’s films are known for their larger-than-life introductions, and Game Changer is no exception. Fans were left in awe of how Ram Charan’s entry scene sets the tone for the film’s intense political drama.
Interval Block: A Major Highlight
A majority of the reviews have one thing in common—the interval sequence is being hailed as one of the best moments of the film.
One user noted,“The movie definitely gets better after the first 45 minutes, and the last 30 minutes before the interval are very good, even though we can guess what’s going to happen next!”
Shankar’s storytelling finesse comes into play here, delivering an action-packed pre-interval block that sets up a high-stakes second half. Fans feel that the interval leaves them eager for more, creating high expectations for the climax.
Another user added, “Interval #Shankar delivers once again! What a high-voltage mass moment for #RamCharan!”
Visuals and Technical Brilliance
Being a Shankar directorial, the film is expected to have top-notch visuals, rich production values, and spectacular action sequences. Fans have called the cinematography and VFX “Hollywood-level”, with one user commenting,
“Technical excellence on display! @shankarshanmugh never disappoints in grandeur. The action scenes, cinematography, and visuals are next-level! ”
The film’s music by Thaman S has also received appreciation, with a particular mention of the “Dhop” song, which fans describe as “Hollywood-level making.”
Another user tweeted,
”#Thaman’s background score is !! Elevates every scene. Goosebumps stuff in the interval block. Mass overload!”
Criticism: Predictability and Dubbing Issues
Despite all the praise, some netizens feel the movie follows a predictable commercial pattern. A few users expressed disappointment, pointing out lag in certain scenes. “Follows a predictable commercial pattern so far. A few surprises, but nothing out of the box. Hoping for a better second half.”
Another common complaint is regarding the lip-sync issues in the Telugu dub, with one user tweeting,
“Okati baaga kanipisthundhi ra Tamil movie ki Telugu dub chesinattu lip sync ledhu ayya #GameChangerReview.”
While this might not affect the overall experience for all viewers, some believe it hampers immersion, especially for Telugu audiences.
Mixed Reactions on First Half
The first half of Game Changer seems to have drawn a mix of positive and critical responses. While fans of Ram Charan and Shankar are loving the mass elements, others feel the storyline is predictable.
A user bluntly tweeted,“Disappointed first half #GameChangerReview. The first half is just average! A strong second half is crucial, or the film could end up being a major disaster .”
Meanwhile, others are loving the masala factor, calling it an entertaining watch with action-packed sequences.
One user summed it up: “If you are here for mass moments and commercial elements, you’ll enjoy it! If you’re looking for a fresh story, it might not impress you as much.”
Second Half Holds the Key
With the first half receiving a mixed response, all eyes are now on how Game Changer unfolds in the second half. Fans are hoping for a powerful climax, with Shankar’s signature storytelling coming into play.
While some believe the film is pure entertainment, others argue it relies too much on masala elements. The final verdict will depend on whether Shankar delivers a compelling second half.
