commented on his performance: "Girish being a first-timer, there are some rough edges, but the fact is, he's photogenic and goes through the rigmarole with confidence." Sarit Ray of ''Hindustan Times'' gave a less favourable review of his portrayal, saying "His dancing, unfortunately is only slightly less stiff than his acting." The film earned little praise from critics and underperformed at the box office. In 2016, Girish played Gaurav in '' Loveshhuda'', a romantic comedy opposite Navneet Kaur Dhillon. The film received unfavorable reviews from critics and was unsuccessful at the box office. He next starred in ''Collateral Damage'', a short film on an archaic practice that exists in villages. The film was released on 29 November 2018 and was screened at many film festivals. Kumar has two upcoming releases in 2019, one being ''Adhoora'' opposite Chetna Pande.
