The girlfriend movie box office predictions: How Much Rashmika Needs For Breakeven

The much-awaited Telugu film of Rashmika Mandanna, The Girlfriend, is all set to be released in theatres on November 7, 2025. And trade circles are already abuzz with speculations regarding its box office performance. Rahul Ravindran’s directional venture is extremely critical in Rashmika’s career graph because it promises a story that is not only bold but also heartwrenching told from a woman’s perspective.

The girlfriend movie box office predictions:

Strong Non-Theatrical Business

Even before its release, The Girlfriend is in gold in revenant non-theatrical business. The sources claim to have an earmarked amount of around ₹21 crores from satellite, OTT and dubbing rights combined. That gives the film a strong financial cushion and leads it ahead of its cinema release and promises to give it a good start.

Opening Day Predictions

The industry expects The Girlfriend to open on an extremely positive note. Especially in the Telugu states and selected multiplexes across India. The strength of the star will help garner numbers in crossing the ₹5 to ₹10 crore range within the opening day. While a strong word-of-mouth on the film could push even higher numbers across the weekend.

Breakeven Target

As per trade estimates, The Girlfriend is apparently expected to have a total production and marketing cost of around ₹50 crore. With the inclusion of the non-theatrical income of ₹21 crore, the film will have to collect at least ₹30 crore from theatres to reach its breakeven mark. That would roughly translate into around a ₹60 crore gross worldwide to get back to the producers and start making profits.
