The much-anticipated lyrical video of the “Jaragandi” song from Game Changer, directed by the illustrious Shankar and featuring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, was released to great fanfare. However, despite the hype surrounding it, the song failed to meet expectations, leading to widespread disappointment among fans.
SS Thaman’s music for the film couldn’t salvage the situation as the Jaragandi song received a dismal response from the audience. With only 4.5 million views and 290K likes within 24 hours, the song’s performance fell well below the standard expected for a Tier 1 hero’s project. This marks the lowest response for any star hero in recent memory, shocking both Shankar and Ram Charan.
The underwhelming reception is particularly surprising considering the considerable investment made in the song, which featured stunning visuals of Ram Charan and Kiara Advani adorned in extravagant costumes. Renowned choreographer Prabhudeva crafted the choreography, adding to the anticipation.
The controversy surrounding the song’s leaked version months prior led to rework by the team and SS Thaman. Despite efforts to salvage the situation, the released version failed to make a mark. Producer Dil Raju hinted at the song’s fuller context, suggesting that the portion released constitutes just 2% of the entire composition and subtly alluding to a future release date. Stay tuned for further developments.
