Let’s rewind a bit. Ram Charan’s Game Changer was supposed to be a blockbuster. After the massive success of RRR, the world was waiting for Charan’s next big film to hit the screens. But instead of gearing up for a victory lap, it feels more like a race to the bottom. Why? Because the PR team somehow managed to turn a high-potential film into a complete dud — before it even hit the theaters!
Multiple delays, production hiccups, weak promotions in the crucial Hindi belt, and zero buzz — the PR geniuses behind this film should seriously be looking for new jobs. The promotion strategy has been so badly executed, it’s like they handed the job over to someone’s toddler. From a weak teaser release that didn’t exactly set the internet on fire to no substantial interviews or promotional events — seriously, Game Changer is looking more like a disaster waiting to happen than a box-office smash.
Let’s talk about the most glaring flaw: the absence of a proper marketing strategy in the Hindi belt. I mean, how do you ignore the largest film market in India? Maybe the PR team thought it would promote itself? The buzz is non-existent, and advance bookings are barely scraping past 1,000 tickets — that’s overseas numbers, by the way. At this point, it feels like the PR is just tossing a few hashtags around and praying for a miracle.
Now, if that wasn't enough, Game Changer is up against a plethora of powerhouse releases: Daaku Maharaaj, Sankranthiki Vasthunam, Majaka, Good Bad Ugly, and others. So while the movie faces stiff competition in its home turf — the Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada markets — it's also going to be a tough ride in the Hindi belt, where no one’s even heard of the film! The lack of interviews with reputed media outlets, no high-profile promotions — can we just take a moment to appreciate how spectacularly the PR team has failed?
This could’ve been a defining moment for Ram Charan. After RRR, his next film was supposed to solidify his market as a pan-Indian star, but thanks to some strategic blunders and clueless middle management, Game Changer is more likely to be the game that changes his career — for the worse. Charan’s fans are rooting for him, but with a PR team like this, it’s hard to stay optimistic.
It’s time for Ram Charan and Kiara Advani to seriously reconsider their PR strategy. At this rate, someone might end up permanently damaging their fragile careers. This was supposed to be a massive hit, but it’s looking more like a box-office flop before the release even happens. PR companies, take note — your "self-will" gimmicks are costing careers. Time to step up your game, because this one’s already lost in the PR battle.
So, here’s to Game Changer— may the PR gods have mercy on its soul.
