Trailer of Rashmika Mandanna's 'The Girlfriend' promises a grim drama on toxic relationships

Rashmika Mandanna stars in 'The Girlfriend' as Bhooma, trapped in a toxic relationship with Vikram. The gripping trailer promises intense drama about love's darker realities.

"Not all love stories are fairy tales. Some are a reality check that leave you thinking. - Geetha Arts"

Chennai, Oct 25

The makers of director Rahul Ravindran's eagerly awaited entertainer, 'The Girlfriend', featuring actress Rashmika Mandanna in the lead along with actor Dheekshith Shetty, on Saturday released the trailer of the film, much to the delight of fans and film buffs.

Taking to its X timeline, Geetha Arts, the production house that is presenting the film, wrote, "Not all love stories are fairy tales. Some are a reality check that leave you thinking. #TheGirlFriendTrailer (Telugu) out now! #TheGirlfriend in cinemas on November 7th."

It may be recalled that the film is scheduled to hit screens on November 7 this year.

The just released trailer begins with Rashmika's character Bhooma hesitantly suggesting to her boyfriend Vikram that they take a small break. She then goes on to explain that by a break she means a proper one.

The trailer then moves to a period when Vikram first proposed to her. He says, "There is an auspicious time day after tomorrow. Let's get married." While Vikram is certain that Bhooma is the ideal person to be his girfriend, Bhooma is not as certain and is shown reluctantly addressing him as her boyfriend.

We also get to see Anu Emmanuel's character being very skeptical about the relationship between the two. She is the one who asks Bhooma if she is happy when she is with Vikram. She is also the one who points out that while Bhooma is perfect for Vikram, he isn't right for her.

The trailer shows Vikram to be a dominating, arrogant, violent, selfish and suspecting man and shows Bhooma to be a victim, who is burdened by a toxic relationship but is struggling to get out of it.

Actress Rashmika has expressed immense faith in director Rahul Ravindran and his film 'The Girlfriend'. In a post she had penned for the director's birthday, Rashmika had said, "You are too precious my friend.. I still can’t believe you’ve made a film like 'The Girlfriend'... The emotional depth you have, the niceness that you have in your heart flows through every frame," she said and added that she had met him for 'The Girlfriend' and had found "a director, a friend, a mentor a partner in crime for a lifetime who I trust wholly and immensely."

Written and directed by Rahul Ravindran, the film has music by Hesham Abdul Wahab and cinematography by Krishnan Vasant.

The trailer gave me chills! This is such an important topic that needs to be discussed openly. In our society, girls are often pressured to stay in bad relationships "for the sake of family honor." Hope this film starts meaningful conversations.

I appreciate that they're showing the friend character (Anu Emmanuel) who questions the relationship. We need more friends like that who can see red flags when we're blinded by love. 👏

While the topic is important, I hope they don't make it too preachy. Sometimes Indian films tend to over-explain everything. Let the audience draw their own conclusions.

Rashmika's performance in the trailer looks intense! The way she shows hesitation and internal conflict is so real. This might be her career-best performance. Booking tickets for first day! 🎬

As someone who's been in a toxic relationship, this trailer hit too close to home. The "you're perfect for me but I'm not right for you" line is something every girl needs to hear. More power to films like this! ❤️
