Despite facing stiff competition from other releases, the film has received praise for its sensitive storytelling and Rashmika’s compelling performance.
Directed by a debut filmmaker, The Girlfriend explores the emotional evolution of Bhooma (Rashmika Mandanna) — a young woman navigating love, independence, and the gradual transformation of a relationship that turns toxic.

Industry analysts say the film’s word-of-mouth appeal and Rashmika’s strong fanbase have helped it maintain consistency through the weekend.
