Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

Rashmika Mandanna's Telugu film *The Girlfriend* opened modestly at the box office with a Day 1 collection of approximately ₹1.3 crore net in India, which was reported as one of her lowest post-COVID openings. The film struggled initially due to limited promotion and no holiday during release, but received decent reviews and word of mouth[4][5][8][10]. On Day 2, the film showed a strong recovery, earning around ₹2.5 crore net in India across all languages, almost doubling the first day's collection. This pushed the cumulative total to about ₹3.8 crore net by the end of Day 2. The Telugu states contributed significantly, with occupancy rates rising from morning to night shows, indicating growing audience interest[2][6][7][12]. By Day 3, the box office momentum continued. The film collected approximately ₹3.1 crore net in India that day, bringing the three-day net collection to around ₹6.9 crore. Worldwide gross reached about ₹9.2 crore, including an overseas collection of roughly ₹1.5 crore. This performance is modest compared to the film's reported budget of ₹25 crore, suggesting that while the film gained momentum after release, it still needs sustained growth to break even or hit the ₹10 crore mark[3][1][11]. Summary in figures: | Day | Net Collection (India) | Approx. Worldwide Gross | |-----------------|-----------------------|-------------------------| | Day 1 (Opening) | ₹1.3 crore | Around ₹3.05 crore | | Day 2 | ₹2.5 crore | Increase, total ~₹7.05 crore| | Day 3 | ₹3.1 crore | Total ~₹9.2 crore | The film stars Rashmika Mandanna and Dheekshith Shetty, directed by Rahul Ravindran, and explores a evolving love story that moves beyond a typical romance, receiving praise for performances despite a slower narrative pace[2][4].
