Shankar’s much-awaited political thriller Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, Kiara Advani, SJ Suryah, and Anjali, opened to an impressive ₹47.13 crore net in India on its first day. The film explores corruption in electoral politics, resonating strongly with audiences.
As reported, the Telugu version accounted for the lion’s share with a gross of ₹38 crore while the Tamil and Hindi versions earned ₹2 crore and ₹7 crore, respectively. Contributions in Kannada and Malayalam regions were much lesser.
Game Changer has crossed the opening day collections of Ram Charan’s Vinaya Vidheya Rama (₹34 crore) and Acharya (₹37.10 crore), but nowhere near the incredible ₹133 crore debut of RRR. The film has 55.82% occupancy during morning shows and an impressive 82% for Hindi 4DX afternoons.
The Press Information Bureau has issued a warning about a phishing scam targeting India Post Payments Bank customers. It is sending messages to users with fake requests to update their PAN details to avoid account deactivation, with suspicious links that redirect the user to malicious websites.
India Post clarified it does not issue such alerts and urged users to avoid clicking on dubious links or sharing sensitive information. A statement on X confirmed, “The claim that IPPB accounts will be blocked within 24 hours if PAN details are not updated is false.”
To avoid falling prey, customers should check such messages, not share any personal details on unsecured platforms, and seek immediate help from the bank in case of any suspicious activity.

Kapoor’s performance is nuanced and authentic, bringing to life the character of a jailer who is tasked with managing one of Asia’s largest correctional facilities with all its moral complexity. Black Warrant is a new benchmark for Hindi streaming content with a gripping narrative and outstanding performances.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Jaskaran Singh Teja said, “According to family members, he accidentally shot himself, and he has suffered head injuries. The cause of death will be confirmed after the post-mortem.

World chess champion D Gukesh has come under fire from Magnus Carlsen and Vladimir Kramnik, who termed it a “child-like blunder” in the World Chess Championship. But Indian chess legend Viswanathan Anand defended Gukesh, talking about his strength and strategic ability.

Sri Lanka’s batting finally clicked in the third ODI against New Zealand, scoring a competitive 290-8 in Auckland.

New Zealand has already won the series with two comprehensive victories, but Sri Lanka’s fight in this game demonstrates their ability to bounce back under pressure.
Durban Super Giants won the SA20 opener against Pretoria Capitals by two runs. The players who were very aggressive and helpful in this game were Kane Williamson, who scored 60 off 40 balls, and Wiaan Mulder, who smashed an unbeaten 45 off just 19 deliveries.
For Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Will Jacks, playing their first innings in the ground, their 154-run addition in the first 12 overs also helped the chase to be alive. But a beautiful spell by Noor Ahmad, with the wicket of Gurbaz being crucial, meant a big turn around for Super Giants.
Capitals crumbled for just one run less and made an electrifying start to the tournament.
