This number is very important. It shows the film’s stability. After a strong opening weekend, the film is now holding its ground during the critical midweek period. However, the film’s ultimate success will rely on its performance in alternative markets and the international signals it is receiving.

The Girlfriend Domestic Box Office: The Midweek Hold Analysis

The Day 6 collection of ₹1.25 Crore net is a huge win for a film with a serious, emotional subject. It shows that the film is not just relying on the opening weekend crowd.

The Girlfriend Day-Wise Collection Breakdown

The film, directed by Rahul Ravindran, had a slow start but saw excellent growth thanks to strong word-of-mouth (WOM):

Day	Day	India Net Collection (Approx.)	Hold/Drop vs. Previous Day
Day 1	Friday	₹ 1.30 Crore	N/A
Day 2	Saturday	₹ 2.40 Crore	+84.6% Jump
Day 3	Sunday	₹ 2.70 Crore	+12.5% Jump
Day 4	Monday	₹ 1.15 Crore	-57.4% Drop
Day 5	Tuesday	₹ 1.30 Crore	+13.04% Gain
Day 6	Wednesday	₹ 1.25 Crore	-3.85% Drop
Total Net	6 Days	₹ 10.10 Crore

The Tuesday-to-Wednesday Stability

The best news here is the minimal drop from Tuesday to Wednesday.

• Day 5 (Tuesday) Gain: The film actually earned more on Tuesday than on Monday (a 13% gain). This is a great signal. It shows that strong WOM brought in audiences looking for a midweek deal.
• Day 6 (Wednesday) Hold: The drop from Tuesday (₹1.30 Cr) to Wednesday (₹1.25 Cr) is a mere 3.85%. This tiny drop is fantastic. It confirms that the film has achieved stability. A stable midweek performance is a key sign of a movie that will have a long run in theaters.

The total India Gross collection is now estimated to be around ₹11.9 Crore. This steady flow of income is crucial, given the film’s reported budget of ₹42 Crore.

International Signals: North America Nears Break-Even Point

While the Indian net collection is important, the international market is providing the biggest financial boost. The core audience abroad is showing huge support for this story.

North America Success Story

In the North American market (USA and Canada), the film is already nearing its “break-even” point. The film earned around USD $375,000 by the end of its first weekend. The break-even target was reportedly set at USD $400,000.

• Profit in Week 1: This means The Girlfriend is set to become a profitable venture for its North American distributors from its fourth day. This is a rare and huge success.
• Theme Appeal: The story’s focus on a modern, complex relationship and the woman’s struggle for autonomy is receiving praise. It connects deeply with the Indian diaspora audience that looks for thoughtful, quality content.

The strength in North America confirms that the film is working for sophisticated viewers. This overseas performance acts as a safety net against any domestic market slowdown.

Alternative Markets: The Digital Goldmine

For a film with a moderate run like The Girlfriend, the revenue generated outside of ticket sales becomes essential.

The Girlfriend OTT Rights Factor

The film has a strong star and a director known for quality work (Rahul Ravindran is a National Award winner). This combination helped the film secure a large deal for its digital rights.

• Netflix Deal: Reports suggest that the post-theatrical streaming rights were bagged by Netflix for a “fancy price” of around ₹14 Crore.
• Safety Net: This single deal covers a major part of the production cost. It shows that even before the film hits the screen, the star power of Rashmika Mandanna and the film’s high-quality content are viewed as valuable assets by streaming giants.

Star Performance: The Rashmika Effect

The film’s success is closely tied to Rashmika Mandanna’s performance. Critics and industry insiders are calling this one of her career-best roles. She portrays the emotional shifts of her character, Bhooma, with great depth.

• Critical Acclaim: Positive reviews for her acting are acting as powerful marketing. When famous critics and co-stars praise a performance, it motivates serious filmgoers to buy tickets.
• Industry Buzz: The news of Vijay Deverakonda attending the film’s “success celebration” also created huge media buzz. This free publicity helps keep the movie in the news cycle.

The combination of international success, high digital value, and strong reviews means that, despite the modest domestic box office, The Girlfriend is well-positioned for long-term financial recovery. The small drop on Day 6 confirms it has achieved a healthy rhythm for the rest of the week.
