Dulquer Salmaan's I'm Game Releases Amid Delays, Early Reviews Praise Performance
Dulquer Salmaan's film I'm Game, released on September 3 in five languages, marks his highest-budget project and aims to launch a franchise. Despite delays and distribution issues causing cancellations of Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, and Kannada shows, the Malayalam version screened as scheduled. Early audience reactions praise Dulquer's performance, fantasy elements, and music, though low occupancy and technical problems affected some screenings. The film represents a significant commercial gamble for Dulquer, seeking to reconnect with box office success after mixed recent releases.
