Top Reviewers:
TELUGU360 (Rating: 3/5):
The Girlfriend is a sincere, emotionally-driven film – a worthy watch for women and for anyone who prefers serious storytelling over commercial entertainment. With strong performances and meaningful themes, it delivers some heartfelt moments. But its sluggish narrative and untapped potential stop it from making a stronger impact.
GREAT ANDHRA (Rating: 2.5/5):
Overall, The Girlfriend is a good watch if you like leisurely paced serious and socially relevant dramas with good music, sensible direction and very good performances. It is unapologetic in what it wants to convey and most women are likely to relate to a few situations they may have faced in their lives. Particularly, Rashmika’s burst-out sequence during the climax sequence is sure to get a lot of applause from the women audience.
MIRCHI9 (Rating: 3/5):
On the whole, The Girlfriend is a new-age drama that is based on toxic relationships. While the film has its own issues of pacing and taking sides, Rashmika Mandanna’s award-worthy role and the gripping second half make this film an endearing watch this weekend.
123TELUGU.com (Rating: 2.75/5):
On the whole, The Girlfriend works in parts, largely because of Rashmika Mandanna’s standout performance, supported well by Deekshith Shetty’s intense portrayal. However, the core story offers nothing particularly new, and the slow pace combined with repetitive sequences affects the overall impact. This film depends heavily on individual perspective. Some may find depth in its treatment, while others may feel disconnected. If you plan to watch it, keep your expectations modest.
