Game Changer - Movie Review

‘Game Changer’, shot in India, is a gripping story of an IPS officer Ram Nandan essayed by Ram Charan battling against the corrupt political system. His fight for justice makes him face even worst, the corrupt Chief Minister Sathyamurthy and his two wicked sons. This then leads to an exciting ride of suspense, ethical and vigorous action as Nandan sets off on a journey robbing the political arena of corruption. This political thriller combines deception and law-enforcement all into one marvelous movie that would keep people utterly captivated. The movie has a clear air of desperation and much of the tenor of the movie calls to mind the prevalent power struggle sequences together with the moral dilemmas revolving round justice. It does this excellently to show how individual animosities and antipathies overlap with political machinations as well as commenting on India’s socio- politics. The essence of the experience is courage and allegiance and the cost of honor.

IPS Ram Nandan is played by Ram Charan from Tollywood and he has more than kept up with the physicality and the presence of the character. Kiara Advani as Deepika is great; a woman not only with her own reasons to do what she should do. While the two cunning men Sankalpa Banerjee and Rajasekhar Aningi master the duplicity in the house as the scheming sons of a businessman. The ensemble cast brings this aspect to life too and brings out the strong emotional feel of the film.

Game Changer, directed by S. Shankar, defines the excellence of Shankar in narrating a large number of episodes at a fast pace and with fine visuals. Shankar has perfectly portrayed a complex political landscape in the film and is equally neat in framing each shot to establish suspense and make the movie’s progress. His direction makes the film both entertaining and provoking, making people think after watching it.

The music fits well to the movie’s bright jolly or tense mood without stealing focus from the occasions. This frees the score to do what it does best, to complement the predominantly emotional and action-based scenes, enhancing the audio-visual experience of the movie and increasing its dramatic heft.

Perhaps the most useful aspect of the film, Game Changer, is its use of cinematography that provides a visual dynamism to the narrative. It is with the lights, camera, and actions that the beauty of politics as well as the dustiness of a political thriller is portrayed. Every frame is designed with great dramatic intentions working up suspense and emotions for the viewer.

The setting of the movie artfully captures the essence of sleak political power and the struggling masses. The locale is colorfully depicted, it captures the sleaze of the powerful and the rhythm of those marching to power. The setting is helping to develop the characters, making them realistic and placing them into the natural for the show environment.

The usage of the special effects is restrained and appropriate in the given context, which means that it is actually improving the show without overloading it. The action sequences are performed with much realism and style which enhances the political thriller aspect of the episode considerably.

As it has been mentioned earlier, the editing in Game Changer is very effective where the momentum of the show is well maintained. Smooth match and brand cuts allow the plot to be informative and fast-paced, which makes understanding the film easier.

The film has good pacing, and it is easy to combine tunes with actions and reveal characters. It also maintains a good pace through well-constructed storytelling so that tension gradually rises and this then creates suspense to keep viewers attentive through the whole narrative On the same note, there are brief pockets of introspection which gives the story depth.

The dialogue is healthy and realistic – something that helps in conveying both the progression of events as well as allowing for the development of character. It conveys the political machinations as well as the individual motivations at stake, with lines to make the viewers care about the drama, both viscerally of thought provoking and AU invested in the ‘game’ to be ‘changed’.

It builds on the bona fide premise and performances, but some of the storylines seem a bit mechanical, making some character development somewhat predictable. However, in these respects it can be argued that the show is lacking, though the weaknesses are masked by the storyline and dramatic device used in flash-presenting. Not comprising in the aspect of story telling the film uses suspense to make the viewer fully involved in the plot, establishe strong characters, and on the end of the film viewers will get the clear moral – even if times are bad, people with honor will always stand out. It thinks and spans with every spectacular twist and turn and yet maintains the riveting excitement of a great suspense story.
