New York: The much-anticipated film of 2025, Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, made its grand debut in the United States with premiere shows a day ahead of its Indian release. The movie has sparked a buzz among NRIs, Telugu audiences, and the Indian diaspora in the US, with fans flocking to theatres for the first show. However, initial responses suggest mixed reviews.
Notably, in New York, a special screening at the Regal Theatre in Times Square drew attention. Dr. Shivakumar Anand, Global Director of Jaiswaraajya TV and JSW TV, attended as the chief guest at the invitation of local Telugu expatriates. Dr. Shivakumar Anand, who traditionally watches premieres in New Jersey, opted for this exclusive New York event.
Game Changer Review by Dr. Shivakumar Anand
Sharing his insights post-show, Dr. Shivakumar Anand noted that while Ram Charan‘s performance received acclaim, the storyline failed to resonate deeply with the overseas audience. He pointed out some directorial shortcomings under Shankar’s helm, which contributed to the lukewarm response.
Despite the mixed feedback, Dr. Shivakumar Anand expressed optimism, attributing the potential for recovery to the festive season and the film’s scale. While Game Changer may not have lived up to its pre-release hype among US audiences, it still holds promise as a commercial entertainer.
