Game(2006)
Game is a 2006 Indian Telugu-language slice-of-life drama film directed by Ramprasad G. The film stars Mohan Babu as Pandit Raghava, a short-tempered taxi driver, and Vishnu Manchu as Vijay Raj, a wealthy businessman. Shobana, Parvati Melton, Sumalatha, and Giri Babu appear in supporting roles. The story follows two men from different social classes whose lives collide after a minor car accident on a Mumbai road. Both are desperate for money—Raghava needs funds for his daughter's surgery, while Vijay must pay a lawyer to save his company. Their anger escalates the conflict into a dangerous game of revenge. The film is a remake of the Hindi movie Taxi No. 9211 (2006), which itself is based on the Hollywood film Changing Lanes (2002). Game received negative reviews from critics and failed at the box office. The background score and soundtrack were composed by Joshua Sridhar. The film marked Shobana's return to Telugu cinema after nearly a decade and was her last Telugu film until Kalki 2898 AD (2024).
