Bihar and Delhi have always seemed star-crossed
Yes, that's right. Bihar and Delhi have some intruistically connection.
That's same happen in this amazing examplary love story written by Indian famous writer MR. Chetan Bhagat, this one was his blockbuster novel and also a blockbuster movie made out on this story casting Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor as Madhav Jha(boy from bihar who came Delho for education) and Riya Somani (an overwhelmed attitude girl from a rich family).
So now let's begin with the amazing story:
Story:
This novel is a romantic drama type genre. Madhav Jha (Arjun) a rustic boy from Bihar who came to New Delhi for higher education on the basis of sports quota fell in love with his college-mate, Riya Somani (Shraddha) from a well background family, a fluent(good) English-speaking girl from Delhi. Riya is willing to go thus far and no further ; Madhav continues being obsessed with her. Will the Bihar boy and the Delhi girl make it past the half-way mark?
Review: The assumption that many have read Chetan Bhagat’s 2014 novel of the same name should be a safe one because Bhagat’s fluff has its own following. But, Half Girlfriend is definitely not one of his best works.
The fun bit comes from watching the Simrao boy (pronounced bai) struck by a thunderbolt when he spots the Delhi dame. And the brave attempts chalk makes in going for cheese is also endearing. Imagine this; he can barely speak a smattering of English and she behaves like she is a rather late-in-the day British import. Yet, it’s understandable that they find an escape in basketball and music. Before long, Madhav’s infatuation becomes a fatal attraction. His college-buddy Shailesh (Vikrant Massey, pitch-perfect performance) warns him of the danger of driving into a one-way street but Madhav, who is perennially in Majnu mode by then, pays no heed.
The frustrating bit for Madhav and for the audience is that Riya is commitment-phobic. Her dost se zyada but girlfriend se kum stance seems non-negotiable and stops you from investing in her halfway through the film.
Back to apna Madhav, fate smiles on him a couple of times later when his path crosses that of Riya’s. And he chases her from Patna to New York (even dragging Bill Gates into proceedings) with a doggedness that should appeal to the countless stalkers, who shame society every day.
The first half breezes through, but post interval proceedings hang; in tandem with the hangdog expression worn by the hero. Madhav Jha is sincere, but seems too urban for an ideal `Bihari’ fit. And Riya, who looks her loveliest here, lacks gravitas.
And at last I would like to thanks all my readers for their supportive nature
may all you have enjoyed and also who want to see the beautiful song of the half girlfriend movie
