The Sankranthi season for 2025 is set. Game Changer will be released on January 10, 2025, followed by Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly on the 11th. Balakrishna’s biggie Daaku Maharaaj is scheduled for January 12th.

After a day’s gap, Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunnam will wrap up the festive season. Though these films are confirmed, a few smaller films may also try their luck during this period.

There’s no denying that Game Changer is the most anticipated film of Sankranthi 2025. With Ram Charan in the lead and Shankar directing, the film has generated excitement across the country.

However, Game Changer faces stiff competition from Daaku Maharaaj. Balakrishna is currently in top form, with a strong cult following, and the box office success of his recent movies is proof of his stardom.

Meanwhile, the shadow of Indian 2’s failure looms over Charan and his team, putting extra pressure on them to win the Sankranthi race in a big way.

The only way forward is through aggressive promotions to ensure the film reaches a wide audience. Producer Dil Raju, who has two films releasing during this time, must strategize carefully.

Ram Charan, with his massive fan base, has a lot to prove after the success of RRR. With such intense competition, the key to success will be generating positive word-of-mouth, which requires a well-planned promotional campaign. Let’s see how the race unfolds.
