Rashmika Mandanna is having a banner year, with multiple releases including Chhaava, Sikandar, Thamma, and now The Girlfriend. The romantic thriller, written and directed by Rahul Ravindran, hit theaters on a non-holiday Friday. The film's box office performance was modest, earning ₹1.3 crore on its opening day, according to Sacnilk. Compared to her previous release Thamma, which collected ₹24 crore during Diwali, The Girlfriend's opening day collection is significantly lower. However, with positive word-of-mouth, the film may gain traction in the coming days. The Girlfriend boasts a talented cast, including Dheekshith Shetty, Anu Emmanuel, Rao Ramesh, and Rohini. The story revolves around a fairy tale romance that turns toxic due to the aggressive nature of Dheekshith's character. Rashmika Mandanna expressed her enthusiasm for the project, saying she was deeply moved by the script and the director's understanding of complex emotions. She described the film as a special project that allowed her to explore her character and connect with the director on a deep level. The Girlfriend's success will depend on the audience's response and word-of-mouth publicity. With a talented cast and a unique storyline, the film has the potential to resonate with viewers and become a standout release of 2025.
