Rashmika Mandanna’s latest Telugu romantic drama, The Girlfriend, continues to enjoy an impressive theatrical run after its release on November 7, 2025. Directed by Rahul Ravindran, the emotional drama stars Dheekshith Shetty and Anu Emmanuel alongside Rashmika, and has won audiences over with its storytelling, performances, and heartfelt narrative. With positive word of mouth sustaining its box-office momentum, fans are now eagerly waiting for its OTT release.
When and Where Will The Girlfriend Stream Online?
According to reports, Netflix has bagged the digital streaming rights for The Girlfriend. While the makers have not officially confirmed the OTT date, industry sources suggest that the film will make its digital debut in the first week of December 2025, most likely around December 5, 2025.
Since most Telugu theatrical releases follow a 4–5 week gap before streaming online, the timeline appears accurate.

The Girlfriend has already collected ₹8.85 crore in its first five days, with strong evening and night show occupancy across Telugu-speaking regions. On day six, the film registered an overall occupancy of 18.85%, proving that audience interest remains steady even after its opening weekend.
Rashmika Mandanna’s Commitment to the Film
During promotions, producer Dheeraj Mogilineni revealed an interesting detail—Rashmika Mandanna did not charge any remuneration for the project. Instead, she decided to take her payment only after the film’s release, showcasing her belief in the story and the team.
What Is The Girlfriend About?
The film follows Bhooma Devi, an aspiring writer, and traces her emotional journey filled with love, heartbreak, ambition, and self-discovery. Rahul Ravindran’s sensitive direction and Rashmika’s standout performance have been widely praised, making this a must-watch romantic drama for OTT audiences.
As fans await the official announcement, expectations are high for The Girlfriend’s digital release on Netflix, where it is likely to find an even wider audience.
