S Thaman on Game Changer soundtrack fail:
Game Changer turned out to be a significant failure, receiving negative feedback from both critics and viewers. In a recent interview, S Thaman, the film's music composer, expressed that the success of the songs is not solely dependent on the music director.
Discussing the absence of a hook step in the songs from Game Changer, Thaman remarked, “I believe that the success of a song does not solely depend on the music director. I can achieve a maximum of 25 million views. A melodic song, however, could reach 50 to 100 million. After that, it is essential for the reels to resonate. The choreographer must create the appropriate steps for the hook lines, which was lacking in Game Changer. None of the songs featured a hook step.”

Additionally, he drew a comparison to the songs from Allu Arjun’s Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, noting that each track featured distinctive hook steps. “This contributed significantly to my success in achieving millions. The dance master must take responsibility, and the lead actor must also comprehend the importance of executing the correct steps, as this allows the cameraman to capture the performance effectively. I fell short in Game Changer.” Recently, Thaman, who appeared as a guest on a dance reality show, remarked to a contestant performing Jaragandhi that her choreography was considerably superior to that seen in the film. For those interested in watching Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, it is accessible on SunNXT and OTTplay Premium at promotional rates.
Game Changer is currently available for streaming on Prime Video, with the Hindi version accessible through the OTTplay Premium app.
