Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
It’s a #RamCharan show… Predictable plot elevated by impactful dramatic moments… Ordinary first half, lengthy but gripping second… Not #Shankar‘s best, but keeps you engrossed and entertained. #GameChangerReview… pic.twitter.com/y2KNTWobeH— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) January 10, 2025
Nishit Shaw, another film critic called the movie “GRIPPING” and says “#RamCharan nails the act throughout.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½#GameChanger is GRIPPING. The BGM is terrific and #RamCharan nails his act throughout. Though conventional, the writing keeps you hooked due to the unpredictability. The film rests on the twists and the drama between the main characters! #GameChangerReview

“Average movie with the routine storyline. Don’t expect Shankar’s old movie qualities.” – Said another user
Average movie with the routine storyline. The best part is Ram Charan’s performance as Appanna and Thaman’s background music. Don’t expect Shankar’s old movie qualities.

A user says that the movie “suffers from a frenetic pace, inconsistent execution, and a lack of emotional depth, ultimately failing to live up to its potential.”
His words in short,
Gamechanger boasts a compelling premise about the power of rules in a broken system, but suffers from a frenetic pace, inconsistent execution, and a lack of emotional depth, ultimately failing to live up to its potential— Sounder Oonjaloor (@isounder) January 10, 2025
