Ram Charan’s much-awaited film Game Changer is all set for a grand release, and the Telangana government has approved a ticket price hike for its theatrical run. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the film’s Nizam region bookings, and now the official Government Order has sanctioned increased pricing, ensuring a blockbuster opening.
For the first day, ticket prices in multiplexes have been hiked by Rs 150, making them Rs 400, while single-screen theaters will see an increase of Rs 100, bringing the price to Rs 250. This increase is expected to maximize revenue for the film’s initial release. The production team had initially requested permission for 1 AM shows, but the government denied this request. However, a favorable decision was made allowing shows to begin from 4 AM, giving fans an early opportunity to catch the film on the big screen.
From the second day onward, the ticket price increase will be limited to Rs 100 in multiplexes, making them Rs 350, and Rs 50 in single screens, making them Rs 200. These revised prices will remain in effect for ten days. This strategy ensures that the film gets a massive opening while maintaining steady audience turnout in the following days.

The government’s decision to approve the price hike is in line with recent trends where big-budget films receive special permissions to maximize revenue. With Ram Charan’s strong fan base and director Shankar’s grand cinematic vision, Game Changer is expected to perform exceptionally well, especially in the Nizam region. The pre-release buzz and advance booking trends suggest that the film will see massive footfalls on the first day, making the increased prices a beneficial move for distributors and theater owners.
Industry analysts believe this pricing model is a smart way to balance both commercial success and audience affordability. The slight reduction in ticket prices from day two onwards is expected to help sustain strong box office collections beyond the opening weekend. If the content meets expectations, the film could break several records and have a long theatrical run.
With Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations backing the project and Shankar at the helm, Game Changer is poised to be one of the biggest releases of the year. The approved price hike will undoubtedly contribute to a strong start at the box office, and the film’s performance in the coming weeks will determine if this pricing strategy pays off.
