Rashmika Mandanna’s The Girlfriend and Yami Gautam’s Haq continue to fight it out at the box office. However, it looks like Yami’s courtroom drama has taken the lead with steady numbers, while Rashmika’s romantic drama is struggling to maintain its pace.
Both films were released on November 7, but the audience response has clearly tilted in favour of Haq. While Rashmika’s star power helped her Telugu release gain some traction initially, the momentum has dropped sharply over the weekdays. On the other hand, Haq has managed to hold strong with consistent collections, crossing the Rs 10 crore mark on Tuesday.
The Girlfriend Box Office Collection Day 5
The Girlfriend had a slow opening and has continued its weak run through the week. The film earned Rs 1.3 crore on Friday, showing a slight improvement over the weekend with Rs 2.4 crore on Saturday and Rs 2.7 crore on Sunday. However, Monday saw a big dip with Rs 0.83 crore, followed by Tuesday’s early estimates of Rs 0.80 crore.
The total five-day collection now stands around Rs 8.03 crore, indicating a tough road ahead. Despite positive reviews for Rashmika’s performance, the film hasn’t been able to connect with a wider audience. Its Hindi version especially saw low footfalls due to strong competition from Haq and limited buzz.

About Haq And The Girlfriend
Haq is a Hindi courtroom drama inspired by the real-life 1985 Shah Bano case. The story revolves around Shazia Bano, played by Yami Gautam, a Muslim woman fighting for justice after being abandoned by her husband, played by Emraan Hashmi. The film dives deep into themes of women’s rights, faith, and law, earning praise for its performances and relevant storytelling.
Produced by Junglee Pictures, Insomnia Films, and Baweja Studios, the film benefited from strong critical reception and a controlled budget, ensuring healthy returns.
On the other hand, The Girlfriend, directed by Rahul Ravindran, explores love and toxic relationships through the story of Bhooma (Rashmika Mandanna) and Vikram (Dheekshith Shetty). Despite emotional storytelling and a strong lead act, the film’s reach has remained limited outside the Telugu market.
