Akhil Arora The Long Take Podcast Dec 5
The Girlfriend seems like a direct response to the widespread misogyny of Indian cinema, but it feels disingenuous because it stars someone who has defended that very misogyny. Go to Full Review Surya Komal Just for Movie Freaks Nov 30
4/5
The Girlfriend stands out as a bold, emotionally honest film that understands the complexities of toxic relationships and the strength it takes to break free from them. Go to Full Review Sruthi Raman The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 11
Relevant and resonant. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Nov 10
The Girlfriend is prone to melodrama that is saved by Rashmika Mandanna's memorable performance. Despite an over-the-top showdown scene, the movie remains grounded by the serious issue of being trapped in a toxic relationship. Go to Full Review Swaroop Kodur The Indian Express Nov 8
3.5/5
It is fascinating to note that The Girlfriend represents an India that is predominant as part of our discourses today, yet whose idea of love and ambition is skimmed over at best. Go to Full Review Sashidhar Adivi Filmfare Nov 7
2.5/5
The Girlfriend is an honest attempt to showcase how a woman emerges from a toxic relationship. But it lacks a much-needed rigour and the screenplay gets too monotonous, too often. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

LV Nov 18 Worth watching this movie especially for Indian mindset and psychology. See more harshaKSSL Nov 13 Good plot, performances, story and screenplay. Direction could be better. See more Shilpa B Nov 12 Need movies like this to hold a mirror to the society and will make people think. It will make you uncomfortable, but that's the point. See more Google Nov 11 Entire movie stood only with elevated scenes when Bhoomi shouted & spoken on the stage. But, she will be a cheater in his opinion. One should not Leave without telling WHY, If she really have guts to get blame & Shout if anybody scolds like she did, then why didn't she talked to him about her fear? But, we as Humans have values, so always speaking up is the thing which solves lot of problems. See more Raju Nov 8 It’s good story. First half felt a bit slow picks up later on and ending is good. It highlights how the upbringing and parents relationship can have bearing on our adult personality and behavior. See more Sandhya Nov 8 Rashmika’s performance is terrific! See more Read all reviews
