Game Changer
U/A: Action, thriller
Dir: S Shankar
Cast: Ram Charan, Kiara Advani, SJ Suryah
Rating: 2/5

That’s some love filmmaker S Shankar has for a saviour hero. He doubles up as a government servant and an action star, and preaches about law and order while always taking law in his hands. This is about his latest big-screen outing, Game Changer, but also holds true for several other titles in his filmography. So, what changes with the new film? Just the lead faces, honestly. 

Ram Charan is the flag bearer of Shankar’s idea of patriotism and governance in the political actioner. For the two-hours and 45-minutes of the film, Charan’s IAS officer, Ram, is a one-man army wiping corruption out of his district, performing death-defying stunts and when he gets a few minutes in between, romancing his girlfriend, Deepika, played by Kiara Advani. That also sums up Advani’s role and screen time in the film.
