The Girlfriend, starring Rashmika Mandanna in the lead role, hit theatres on Friday and has been receiving mixed responses from audiences and critics alike. Directed by Rahul Ravindran, the romantic drama features Deekshith Shetty as the male lead, alongside an ensemble cast that includes Rao Ramesh, Anu Emmanuel, and Rohini Molleti.
According to early box office reports, the film has collected around ₹3.5 crore gross worldwide in its first two days. Encouragingly, The Girlfriend witnessed growth on Day 2 compared to its opening day, hinting at improving word of mouth. Trade sources predict that the film could surpass the ₹10 crore mark by the end of its opening weekend if the positive momentum continues.
With music composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab and a soulful background score by Prashanth R. Vihari, the film’s technical aspects have been appreciated by viewers. Produced by Vidya Koppineedi and Dheeraj Mogilineni, The Girlfriend now faces an important test in its weekday performance. If it manages to maintain steady collections on Monday and beyond, it could emerge as a respectable box office performer in the romantic drama space.
