What Is The Girlfriend All About?

The Girlfriend tells a romantic tale set on a college campus featuring two students. Rashmika portrays a master's literature student who develops feelings for her classmate portrayed by Deekshit Shetty.

Although their love begins as joyful and affectionate, his jealousy, insecurity, and emotional immaturity quickly become apparent. Their relationship develops quickly—so quickly that Rashmika appears bewildered when a friend offers her congratulations on it.

The Telugu love story debuted in theaters on November 7, 2025. It garnered mainly favorable reviews from critics, who commended Rashmika’s impressive performance and the film’s idea. Even within the ticket-purchasing crowd, it enjoyed positive word of mouth. Nevertheless, the movie failed to attract a broader audience because of its specialized appeal.

The Girlfriend premiered at merely 1.3 crores, and after that, it struggled to reach a wider audience. According to the latest collection update, it generated 18.64 crore net at the Indian box office. With GST included, it totals 21.99 crore gross. Abroad, it generated a gross of 7.2 crore. Merging the Indian and international gross, the final global box office earnings total 29.19 crore gross.

Rashmika Mandanna’s The Girlfriend Budget

It is said that The Girlfriend was produced with a budget of 42 crores. In light of this expense, it succeeded in generating just 18.64 crore net, thereby recouping 44.38% of the total budget. The film was deemed a flop at the Indian box office with a 55.62% deficit.

The movie will be available on Netflix, featuring multilingual selections in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, thus broadening its audience across the nation.

The Girlfriend’s OTT release is set to expand its audience, allowing viewers to enjoy the performances of Rashmika Mandanna and Dheekshith Shetty from home as they delve into the romantic story created by Rahul Ravindran.
