The Girlfriend Box Office Collection Day 4: Rashmika Mandanna’s Film Monday Drop Was Brutal!

Khardaha, West Bengal, India – November 10, 2025: The first Monday is always the biggest test for any new movie. For Rashmika Mandanna’s romantic drama, ‘The Girlfriend,’ this test has unfortunately resulted in a sharp fall. The film, directed by Rahul Ravindran, saw a major decline in collections on its fourth day, which was a non-holiday Monday.

The Girlfriend Box Office Collection Day 4

The movie managed to collect only ₹0.8 crore net (India) on Day 4. This is a very steep drop from its Sunday earnings. The film’s total India net collection now stands at around ₹7.9 crore after four days of its theatrical run.

The big question now is how much the movie can hold its ground for the rest of this crucial first week.

The Girlfriend Box Office Drop: How Sharp Was the Fall from Sunday?

The drop in collection from Sunday to Monday is the most important factor in deciding a film’s ultimate box office verdict. For ‘The Girlfriend,’ the fall has been quite brutal.

Day-Wise Collection Breakdown

The film had a slow start on Friday, but good word-of-mouth helped it grow over the weekend.

• Day 1 (Friday): ₹1.30 crore net
• Day 2 (Saturday): ₹2.57 crore net (A strong jump of over 96%)
• Day 3 (Sunday): ₹3.23 crore net (Good hold with a 21.5% jump from Saturday)
• Day 4 (Monday): ₹0.8 crore net

The Monday Test Fails

The film earned ₹3.23 crore on Sunday. The drop on Monday, which brought in ₹0.8 crore, is about 65.4% from the Sunday numbers.

This massive drop is a major sign of concern. For a film to be considered a box office success, a drop between 40% to 50% from Sunday’s collection is generally considered decent.

A drop of over 60% shows that the mass audience is not coming out during the weekdays. It means the footfall from the weekend audience has completely dried up. This indicates that the positive buzz may only be limited to core fans who watch movies on the first weekend.

The film has a reported budget that is on the higher side. With a total of only ₹7.9 crore collected in four days, ‘The Girlfriend’ needs a miracle-like run in the coming days. The movie must stabilise its collections significantly from Tuesday onwards to avoid a quick finish at the box office.

The Girlfriend Weekend Performance Review: Where the Film Got Its Start

Despite the disappointing Monday, the film deserves credit for its strong weekend growth. The first day was very low. However, the emotional storyline and Rashmika Mandanna’s praised performance ensured a big jump on Saturday and a good collection on Sunday.

Focus on Regional Strength

The collection has come mostly from the Telugu states.

• Telugu Market: The Telugu version has been the main contributor. It showed strong occupancy in cities like Hyderabad and the surrounding areas. This is where the core audience for this film lies.
• Other Markets (Hindi/Tamil): The film’s Hindi and Tamil versions had a very limited release. The collections from these markets are very small. This small contribution makes the overall India net collection lower. For a pan-India release, the non-Telugu markets must perform better.

The weekend total of around ₹6.95 crore net (combining all languages from Friday to Sunday) was a ray of hope. This figure, though lower than expected for a star like Rashmika Mandanna, was built on genuine word-of-mouth. The Monday drop now overshadows this good weekend growth.

The Competition Factor: Other Movies in the Ring

‘The Girlfriend’ did not have an easy run. It faced direct competition from other new releases.

‘Jatadhara’ and ‘Haq’

The film was released alongside the supernatural thriller ‘Jatadhara,’ starring Sonakshi Sinha and Sudheer Babu. Another new Hindi film, ‘Haq,’ starring Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi, has also been released.

• Sharing Screens: In multiplexes and single screens, ‘The Girlfriend’ had to share screens with these two films. This competition means fewer shows and lower overall footfalls.
• Genre Clash: ‘The Girlfriend’ is a romantic drama, which usually attracts a more specific, non-mass audience. The thriller genre of ‘Jatadhara’ and the drama of ‘Haq’ appeal to different sections of the audience. The competition definitely cut into the box office potential of Rashmika’s film.
• Holding Steady is Key: When competition is high, a new film needs to show extraordinary stability on weekdays. The sharp drop on Monday for ‘The Girlfriend’ is worrying, as it suggests the audience is moving on quickly.

What’s Next: The Girlfriend Crucial Tuesday and Beyond

🔮 The next few days are very important for the film.

The Tuesday Test

Day 5, which is Tuesday, must show a negligible drop or even a small jump from Monday.

• If the film collects in the ₹90 lakh to ₹1.00 crore range on Tuesday, it will be considered a decent hold.
• If the collection falls further below ₹80 lakh, it will confirm a very weak trend. This would mean that the movie will be out of most theatres by the end of the first week.

The Road to Breakeven

The film has a high budget. The makers need to recover a lot more money from the box office. The strong drop on Monday makes this target very difficult.

• Lifetime Collection Estimate: A sharp drop on Monday suggests a low lifetime collection. The film might struggle to even cross the ₹10-12 crore mark in its total domestic run if the fall continues.
• Dependence on Overseas: There are reports of the film doing well in some international markets. However, the domestic collection is the biggest earner. The overseas performance will only cushion the blow, not save the film completely.

The movie has a positive message and strong acting. But strong word-of-mouth must turn into strong weekday collections. For now, the Monday result is a clear sign that ‘The Girlfriend’ has a very tough road ahead at the box office.
