According to Sacnilk, Game Changer earned ₹51 crore net in India on its opening day, with domestic gross collections reaching ₹61 crore. Combined with ₹19 crore from overseas markets, the film’s worldwide total reportedly stood at ₹80.1 crore. However, the film’s official page’s claim of ₹186 crore sparked ridicule and backlash from trade analysts and fans.
#GameChanger : 1st WW Estimates - ₹85Cr Worldwide.
It's unfortunate that instead of standard 10% boost, makers have gone with ₹100Cr+ fake. SHAME!
This Kind of FAKING is UNPRECEDENTED in the history of Indian Cinema!

The controversy gained traction after the movie’s official handles shared a poster showcasing Ram Charan in an action-packed sequence, with the caption boasting, “#GameChanger grosses 186 crores worldwide on Day 1.” Critics called out the makers for exaggerating figures, labeling the move “unprecedented” in Indian cinema.
Despite the uproar, Game Changer continues to attract audiences. Trade experts predict the film could surpass ₹200 crore globally by the end of its debut weekend, driven by Ram Charan’s star power and strong fan support.
This incident has reignited debates about the authenticity of box office figures in Indian cinema, with many urging transparency to maintain credibility in the industry.
