Makers of the Ram Charan-starrer have been accused of inflating numbers with its first-day collections. Right from day 1 they were trying to project that the film already earned more than Rs 100 crores. However, it finally hit that mark in India only on Tuesday. Game Changer’s gross India collection stands at Rs 114.7 crores so far. Overseas the film has earned around Rs 26 crores, while Game Changer’s worldwide collection stands at Rs 140.7 crores. Ram Gopal Varma has criticised the film for inflating both its budget and box office figures in a scathing social media post. “If G C costed some 450 cr then RRR in its extraordinary never before seen visual appeal should have costed 4500 cr and if G C film’s first day collections are 186 cr on day 1 , then PUSHPA 2 collections should have been 1,860 cr,” he wrote on X.

Game Changer’s overall occupancy in Telugu language was 36.15 percent, while in Hindi the film’s overall occupancy was at 11.19 percent. In the Telugu-speaking belt, Kakinada had the highest occupancy of 78.25 percent with 37 shows, followed by Mahbubnagar which had an occupancy of 77.50 percent with just 4 shows. In the Hindi version, Chennai has the highest occupancy of 83 percent with 8 shows, followed by Bengaluru with an occupancy of 33 percent and 14 shows. In Mumbai’s Game Changer’s occupancy was at 11.75 percent with 364 shows and in Delhi-NCR it was 6.50 percent with 646 shows.
