## Production and release
[Reliance Entertainment](https://www.edgepedia.org/reliance-entertainment) positioned *Game* as its big summer release of 2014, produced in association with Jeet's Grassroot Entertainment and distributed widely in India.[4](https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/reliance-entertainment-shares-its-tolly-plans-with-t2/cid/181024) Mahesh Ramanathan, chief operating officer of Reliance Entertainment, described it as a continuation of the company's association with Grassroot after the earlier hit *Boss*, which also paired Jeet with Subhashree under Baba Yadav's direction.[4](https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/reliance-entertainment-shares-its-tolly-plans-with-t2/cid/181024)
**A shared remake.** Reliance produced two films from the same *Thuppakki* story in 2014: *Game* for Bengali audiences and the [Akshay Kumar](https://www.edgepedia.org/akshay-kumar)-starrer *Holiday*, made with Vipul Shah and Aruna Bhatia, which released on 6 June 2014, a week after *Game* opened on 30 May.[4](https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/reliance-entertainment-shares-its-tolly-plans-with-t2/cid/181024) • [6](https://www.anandabazar.com/entertainment/remake-wave-in-bollywood-tollywood-1.37969) The producer explained that *Game* was adapted for Bengali audiences while *Holiday* addressed national and diaspora markets.[4](https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/reliance-entertainment-shares-its-tolly-plans-with-t2/cid/181024)
In a press interview before release, [Jeet](https://www.edgepedia.org/jeet-actor) described his character as a vacationing army officer who comes to the aid of a city in the throes of a terror strike, calling the account fictional but inspired by realistic references, and said Kolkata had not been explored in a mainstream film the way it was in *Game*, with the city turning into the film's chessboard.[7](https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/mainstream-films-have-wider-reach-with-audiences-jeet-114052401110_1.html) Director Baba Yadav said the film was not out-and-out realistic but a fun-filled commercial film with logical turns of events, and that the team had indigenized the concept of the Tamil hit and readapted it in Bengal.[7](https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/mainstream-films-have-wider-reach-with-audiences-jeet-114052401110_1.html)
## Reception
The Times of India gave the film 3.5 out of 5, calling it an intelligent movie with a lot of firepower and mindless fun, praising the crisp script, which it attributed to the film's Tamil origins, and its engaging pace.[8](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/Bengali/movie-details/Game/movieshow/62536021.cms) On user-aggregated platforms it scored 6.4/10 on IMDb (367 votes) and 7.7/10 on [BookMyShow](https://www.edgepedia.org/bookmyshow).[5](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4418120/) • [3](https://in.bookmyshow.com/movies/game-bengali/ET00022228) [The Indian Express](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-indian-express) review was more critical of the second half, noting that the romantic track reduces Trisha to a foil for Abhimanyu and that the first half's energy tapers before a predictable climax.[2](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/screen/game-bengali-more-action-less-romance/lite/)
