2025 has kick started and all eyes are on how this year turns out to be for movies at the box office. 2024 was a mixed year and hence one was waiting for a movie that sets the tone for the year. Game Changer is the first film of the year and as a pan-India affair, it has seen an extensive release in Hindi as well.
Given the kind of advance booking that it was seeing till Thursday, it had seemed like the film would open in Rs. 4-5 crores range at best. However, the film has sprung a pleasant surprise as the first day numbers are far higher than what advance booking may have suggested. The Hindi version has opened at Rs. 8.64 crores and that’s actually a far bigger start than what seemed on the cards. It’s clear that after a fair start in the morning shows, positive word of mouth has caught up for the film and that’s what ensured good momentum post evening shows.
The reports are good for the Ram Charan starrer which means there would be growth today and tomorrow. At the very least, Rs. 30 crores will come for the film and the target would be surpass Devara (Hindi) weekend of Rs. 29.52 crores. The start has been a little better as Devara (Hindi) had opened at Rs. 7.95 crores and now the weekend trending should take it past it.
