Rashmika's The Girlfriend Turns Into Internet Warzone for National Award!

Buzz in cinema spreads faster than gossip in a hostel corridor, and right now, it’s Rashmika Mandanna’s The Girlfriend everyone’s talking about. Social media feels like a mini warzone, with fans and film folks arguing if it’s really National Award material even before the movie hits screens. Usually, it’s the movie team hyping things up, but this time, outsiders are the ones starting the noise. That itself says something about the kind of curiosity this film has created before its release next Friday.

Director Rahul Ravindran, who earlier grabbed a National Award for Chi La Sau, is back with another emotional story. After his bumpy ride with Manmadhudu-2, he seems to have stuck to his own rhythm this time. The trailer already got people talking, it looks mature, a bit intense, and honest about relationships today. A few from the industry who caught early screenings can’t stop praising it. Even the censor board apparently gave it a thumbs up, which added more fuel to the hype.

But let’s be real, most of the buzz is around Rashmika. People are saying she’s pulled off her career-best act here. Some even think she might grab a National Award for it. Dheekshith Shetty, who plays opposite her, is also getting good talk for his subtle performance. Insiders claim the movie hits the heart and leaves a mark long after.

Now, whether all this is clever promotion or genuine praise, no one really knows yet. What’s clear is that The Girlfriend has become the talk of the town. Rashmika and Rahul have managed to pull off something most films struggle for, attention that feels both wild and curious. With Dheeraj Mogilineni and Vidya Koppineedi producing it under Geetha Arts, all eyes are now on that release day to see if this chatter turns into truth.
