Rashmika Mandanna has typically acted in male-led films. Songs, romantic scenes, and smaller roles have come her way. However, for the first time, she took on a female-led film The Girlfriend, where she got more opportunities to showcase her acting skills. Rashmika had special expectations for this movie.

Released on November 7, the film collected around 30 crore rupees. While it didn't become a big hit, it received a better response than the usual reception for female-led films. It's rare for women-centric stories to achieve massive success. Even so, the collection The Girlfriend has achieved is noteworthy.

The film was produced by Dheeraj and Vidya with a budget of around 30 crore. From the theatrical earnings, the producers have been able to recover about 50% of the investment. Additionally, the OTT and satellite rights sold at good rates, bringing extra profits to the producers.Kenneth Cole Maroon Dial Automatic Watch for Men-NEKCWGL2124704MN
