By: Tupaki Desk | 25 Oct 2025 12:19 PM ISTLove is tricky, sometimes it feels like walking on a tightrope: fun, thrilling, but one slip can ruin everything. That’s exactly the vibe from National crush Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming movie The Girlfriend. Hot on the heels of her hit Thama, which is still killing it in theaters, this trailer is already getting fans talking. It’s lively, fresh, and full of youthful energy, with hints of romance, drama, and a few emotional curveballs.
The trailer starts all bright and playful, showing Rashmika and Dheekshith Shetty as a couple clearly into each other like from a decade. Cheeky smiles, teasing lines like “you kissed last night,” and little playful moments set a fun, feel-good mood. For a few seconds, it feels like a carefree love story. The visuals pop, the chemistry works, and the vibe is totally youthful and light.
Then, just when you think it’s all smooth sailing, the mood totally shifts. Fun and romance give way to tension, arguments, and hints of secrets. Lines like “what the hell is wrong with you” and mentions of a character being “very bad in the character” show that all isn’t perfect. Suddenly, it’s messy, emotional, and layered, a love story with serious twists. You get heartbreak, conflict, and suspense all packed tightly into the trailer.
The trailer looks slick without being overdone. Quick cuts, Hesham’s background score, and sharp editing make the highs feel high and the lows hit harder. Rashmika slides effortlessly from bubbly girlfriend to someone dealing with emotional fallout. Dheekshith matches her energy, Rao Ramesh adds solid fatherly weight, and Anu Emmanuel nails the villain vibe. With four key characters shining and drama already sizzling, The Girlfriend looks like an emotional rollercoaster. Fans have December 7 circled on their calendars, it’s going to be one ride.
