Director Rahul Ravindran's latest romantic drama, The Girlfriend , starring Rashmika Mandanna and Dheekshith Shetty, has emerged as a full-blooded, emotionally visceral take on contemporary love, power dynamics, and the struggle for selfhood. The movie "is gripping, consistent in its craft and relevant in its themes," according to a Cinema Express review.

In a dramatic change from her prior roles, Rashmika portrays Bhooma, a gullible college student whose life takes a turn for the worse once she begins a troubled relationship with another student.

The movie gains momentum despite its slow beginning, particularly in the pre-interval and final scenes. Co-stars Anu Emmanuel and Deekshith Shetty have also been lauded for their roles in this complex romance drama.
