The Girlfriend

Girl Friend delivers a powerful blow on an important social issue, with Rashmika unleashing her true women-power in a way that sends chills straight into male egos. Her performance is fierce, vulnerable, and commanding - the kind that stays with you.

Dheekshith Shetty's possessive and controlling nature echoes loud, adding a sharp and unsettling tension that drives the narrative forward.

In contrast, Anu Emmanuel is the lighthouse - the calm, clarity, and emotional anchor in everyone's life, bringing warmth and balance to the story.

Though the screenplay dips a bit in pace, the story itself is a banger - bold, honest, and unafraid to call out the core issue head-on.

In the end, Girl Friend hits straight at the heart of its message and emerges as a true winner - impactful, relevant, and deeply resonant.

Abuse need not be loud. It can be done in a million subtle ways until your soul is crushed, destroyed and you become the walking dead! If you don't stand up for yourself, no one else will! I have never come across a movie that has portrayed narcissistic behavior better than this! This is how they frame you that you are at fault. You caused everything. And no one can understand anything. They would be silently judging you constantly. You end up being in that hypervigilant state stuck forever. I'm glad someone in Indian cinema has finally decided to bring this to limelight. Being someone in a similar relationship or even worse than this. I can relate so much to Rashmika. This is undoubtedly one of her best!

Just watched the girlfriend movie, too intense, talks a tint of feminism, especially last 30 mins was crazy, rashmika has delivered a stellar performance, the problem is with the screenplay, I feel is the whole film portrays the toxic love throughout, as an audience I was waiting for that breaking point, which I feel should have been kept little earlier stage of the film, that stretch kind of created that build up, still it was too much stretched, and also after such comments from her own father (which is the breaking point for her, also changed her life), it was not shown how they reconciled. Anyway overall It was good watch.

It is a poignant cinematic experience that beautifully encapsulates love through the eyes of an Indian woman navigating societal expectations and personal aspirations. This film offers a refreshing perspective on relationships, marrying traditional values with contemporary issues, all while delivering a narrative that resonates deeply with modern audiences.

At the heart of this story is a compelling exploration of how societal norms shape the experiences of women. The film deftly highlights the struggles faced by an Indian girl as she grapples with the judgment from family and partners who often overlook her dreams in favor of fulfilling expectations. The protagonist's journey is a mirror reflecting the challenges many young women face today-where their needs and aspirations are frequently dismissed.

Rasmika's portrayal of the lead character is nothing short of stellar. She brings a vibrant energy to the role, seamlessly conveying a wide range of emotions. Her performance captures the essence of a young woman striving to assert her identity and desires in a world that asks her to conform. Alongside her, Deekshit's performance as the love interest adds depth to the narrative, showcasing the complexities of their relationship and how love can be both uplifting and constraining.

The music in "The Girlfriend" further enhances the emotional gravitas of the film. The soundtrack is carefully curated, each note enhancing the storytelling and helping to maintain a rhythm that draws the audience in. This is a film worth watching, a celebration of love in its truest form, and a call to embrace the voices of women.

The girlfriend was kind of version of "the great indian kitchen". Not upto that level but the message was similar. Its about a simple girl who mistakenly fell into a relationship with a boy who is controlling and possessive. Basic patriarchy mentality which has been ingrained in most people in our society. How we treat female and own them defines what kind of person we are.

This film smoothly dealth with the topic with good acting from everyone, even the people who has small screen time.
