Rashmika Mandanna's journey in 2025 continues with The Girlfriend, following her appearances in Chhaava, Sikandar, and Thamma. The romantic film, crafted by Rahul Ravindran, debuted in theaters on Friday but started with a relatively soft box office performance.
Early estimates from Sacnilk indicate that The Girlfriend earned ₹1.3 crore on its first day, representing Rashmika's lowest opening day figure this year. In contrast, her recent release Thamma had a robust Diwali opening, grossing ₹24 crore. This new film's performance is hampered by a non-holiday Friday and minimal promotional activities, making its success largely reliant on audience word of mouth.
The cast includes Dheekshith Shetty, Anu Emmanuel, Rao Ramesh, and Rohini, weaving a narrative around a seemingly enchanting romance that transforms into toxicity due to Shetty's character's intense demeanor.
Rashmika expressed her heartfelt connection to the film on X, stating, “When Rahul first narrated the script, I teared up. There were moments that touched my heart deeply… Bhooma is the most special to me because that’s mostly me.”
As positive feedback starts to trickle in, the box office trends over the weekend will be crucial in determining whether The Girlfriend can gain traction in cinemas.
