Game Changer: Rajamouli Curse Back?

Game Changer did not make it to the top 10 list based on the official tracking numbers.

In fact, Game Changer fell behind Mahesh Babu's recent non-pan India film Guntur Kaaram, which collected 1.78 million, while Game Changer collected only 1.3 million.

Today, Saturday, is a crucial day for Game Changer to maintain its momentum. Not only does it need to hold the trend, but it also needs to post big numbers, as the North American break-even for Game Changer is over 4.5 million.
