Review:
Director Dayanandh Gaddam introduces an intriguing plot but falls short in the execution, with a measured pace in the initial portions. The screenplay gains momentum in the second half, compensating for predictable twists with a racy tempo. “Game On” emerges as a conventional real-life game thriller with strengths and shortcomings. On the whole, Geetanand’s performance and Neha Solanki’s glamour contribute positively. On the whole, the film is impressive.
