Superstar Ram Charan’s latest film, *Game Changer*, has been labeled a huge letdown at the box office, underperforming with both audiences and critics alike. The OTT release runs for 158 minutes—a bit shorter than its theatrical cut—while the Hindi version is set to be launched in the coming weeks. Directed by Shankar, the film received a barrage of negative reviews, pointing out its predictable story, hasty pacing, and ineffective emotional sequences. The political action drama is now available on Prime Video, available in Telugu and other languages, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, along with English subtitles. Produced by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations, the film stars Kiara Advani alongside a well-known supporting cast that includes SJ Suryah, Srikanth, Anjali, and Samuthirakani. In addition to the criticism of Shankar’s direction, *Game Changer* has also struggled with illegal copies, raising questions about its performance in the digital market. The score has been composed by Thaman.

Mondeti mentioned, “We’ve aimed for a compact runtime of 2 hours and 25 minutes. I credit a lot to our editor, Navin Nooli. Director Chandoo Mondeti shared that the film’s runtime has been set to be 2 hours and 25 minutes. The film’s team is currently immersed in a extensive promotional campaign, leading to a grand event in Chennai, where actor Karthi will be in attendance. Thandel carries a rich mix of emotions, and while I would have liked the film to extend to 2 hours and 45 minutes, we felt that some elements could have been removed in those 20 minutes cut.” He further added, “Even with those 20 minutes trimmed, the film still presents all the important aspects efficiently. Navin Nooli’s editing has been remarkable, and I am thoroughly pleased with the final result.” Starring Sai Pallavi in the female lead role, Thandel narrates the lives of fishermen from Matchelesam, with music by Devi Sri Prasad. Naga Chaitanya’s highly awaited PAN-Indian film, Thandel, is scheduled to make its much-awaited debut in theaters on February 7.

Produced by the illustrious Bunny Vas under the legendary Geetha Arts banner, *Thandel* is gearing up for a highly anticipated release in multiple languages on February 7, promising to capture the hearts and minds of viewers across India. After having witnessed the final cut of *Thandel*, Allu Aravind was quick to shower accolades on Naga Chaitanya’s brilliant portrayal, remarking, “His performance in *Thandel* is sure to leave a lasting impact; it’s a career-defining moment that no one has ever seen from him before.” He didn’t stop there—he vocally commended Sai Pallavi for her breathtaking role, and showered the visionary director Chandoo Mondeti with praise for crafting such a masterpiece.
