The Girlfriend: Overall Verdict
The reactions to The Girlfriend have been mixed, yet emotional, since the early reviews came out. Although some viewers found it slow-paced, many praised the performances, especially Rashmika Mandanna‘s powerful portrayal of a woman navigating heartbreak. Dheekshith Shetty also earned praise for his subtle and emotional acting.
Even though the movie feels uneven at times, the emotions and climax make it worth watching.
