Music Facts: The music of Ram Charan’s most awaited film Game Changer has made some noise already, with a lot of big announcements coming to the fore, much before it goes on floors. And that is for two main reasons: A star-studded cast and a rather interesting storyline, along with promised music. With Thaman S at the helm as a music director, expectations from the soundtrack run high because it is touted to be a unique blend of contemporary and traditional sounds. The first song, “Jaragandi,” from this film sets the mark of exuberance that the musical journey is going to be replete with in terms of energy and cultural richness. What differentiates it is discussed in depth below.
Thaman S is indeed a dynamism in his works, and he blends his music with diverse genres. He is the music composer for Game Changer. For Thaman, he has carved out a special niche in the industry for himself. He is the one who has made many chartbusters showing his style of fusing the traditional Indian style with modern beats in his unique way. He’s known to be associated with the music of Game Changer, and he, on his part, delivers soundtracks that support the narrative yet remain memorable stand-alone pieces. The first song is ‘Jaragandi’.
The first single of the album Game Changer, the song “Jaragandi,” had already come across as the work with a bang and powerful singing. Having the inimitable Daler Mehndi and versatile Sunidhi Chauhan in the cast of the leading voices, the rendition of “Jaragandi” is characterized by a deep-rising voice emanating from Daler Mehndi and magnifying vivacity to the track. Deep emotion and passion are further enhanced by the dynamic range and emotive singing of Sunidhi Chauhan.
Lyricist Anantha Sriram is invariably one of the most assured: he can get words out more for carving out the very life of the song. The same is the case with “Jaragandi”. Poetic imagery blends with this high-energy composition by Sriram perfectly, and, running through the tracks, every pair of effective lyrics helps add to the basic essence of the very theme of the film, making it a perfect fit for Ram Charan’s dynamic persona on screen.
The rich musical arrangement in “Jaragandi” is coming out of Thaman S’s relatively new compositional attitude. The song is programmed and arranged by Thaman himself, who for the very first time, has managed to fuse heterogeneous musical ideas into a homogeneous whole. It is further signature by an Indian-International percussion mix, which forms the backbone of a powerful and intricately rich soundscape.
Thamania, who gives heavy tapes with African drums, joins this unique sound on The Gongura Band, a.k.a. The combination of hand-clap beats and heavy percussions offers an African infusion of rhythm that gives “Jarangandi” a feel of the world while allowing for the Indian percussions to come in and make it feel familiar, yet fresh. Additional Indian ethnic percussions by the band raise the track multifold, where there is much complexity added in layer by layer which makes the song stand out in the film’s soundtrack.

“Jaragandi” has set the bar pretty high; it’s just the tip of the iceberg for Game Changer. Indeed, with all this varied sound and genres, fans can try to explore more tracks that will bring to the fore the versatility of Thaman S in experimenting. He surely knows that the title track worked magic, so one has great expectations from the rest of the soundtrack. Everybody is waiting to see what all the other peppy numbers and soulful melodies turn out to be a perfect treat for the movie storyline.
The Game Changer is being shaped as a work in progress, not to just pack a cinematic extravaganza but a musical one as well. With Thaman S at the helm and talented artists like Daler Mehndi and Sunidhi Chauhan, this film is going to be a blockbuster. “Jaragandi” was the appetizer, and from the taste of it, if this song is to be the standard, then Game Changer is set to come up with a soundtrack that will linger far beyond the roll of credits—not that the earlier movies by the duo ever had a problem in that department. If you are his fan, a Thaman S fan, or just a good music fan, Game Changer is an aural feast to look forward to.
