Rahul Ravindran’s #TheGirlFriend has emerged as a clear success story at the box office, achieving breakeven within its first weekend itself. The film has collected an impressive ₹5.72 crore share in India, surpassing its breakeven point of ₹5 crore and entering the hit zone.

Steady Growth Through Word of Mouth
The film opened with a decent ₹1 crore share on Friday, doubled its earnings on Saturday, and almost tripled on Sunday — a rare trajectory in recent times. This strong growth pattern reflects the powerful word of mouth and audience connect that the film has managed to achieve, especially in urban centers.

Women Audiences Take Charge
What makes #TheGirlFriend stand out is the way women audiences have embraced it. Beyond the box-office numbers, women have become the film’s biggest promoters, organically sharing their love through Instagram stories and reels. The character of Bhooma, played with depth and conviction, has become a mirror for many women who relate to her emotional journey and strength.

Overseas Box Office
The success story continues in North America, where the film’s breakeven is pegged at $400K. As of the first weekend, the film has already crossed $375K, and is expected to enter the profit zone by Tuesday — a significant milestone for a content-driven film with limited appeal beyond its core audience.

A Win for Team Effort
This victory marks a proud moment for director Rahul Ravindran and producers Dheeraj Mogilineni and Vidya Koppineedi. Despite handling a theme that isn’t entirely universal, the film’s emotional honesty and authentic portrayal of relationships have struck a chord.

The Girl Friend proves that films made with sincerity and strong storytelling can find their audience — and sometimes, it’s the women who make them soar.
