    Another musical movie after Ashiqui 2

    First you should go with less expectations ...as like Mohit suri's last movie...as this movie let you go to a story with a musical journey.... great music composition by all music directors..the movie hold you rightly.... emotions are very heart touching...direction is good...story is predictable...but must watch movie

    Movie made with a big heart, love and loads of hard work

    Many of the credible directors try something new and fail miserably like Aditya Chopra for Befikre, Vikas Bahl for Shaandaar, Anurag Kashyap for Bombay Velvet etc. But there are many directors who stick to their genres and discover their new exposures like Sanjay Leela Bhansaali, Karan Johar, Rajkumar Hirani, Kabir Khan David Dhawan, Mohit Suri, Neeraj Pandey and others. So do never try to judge or evaluate their capability at any cost. Mohit Suri has a strong command on perfect depiction of love and does justice in story telling in his movies. He proves gain with this one. Arjun Kapoor gave his best performance in this movie after 2 states. For Shraddda Kapoor, she like Alia Bhatt is best in absorbing all kinds of roles and does not lacks anywhere when she is being guided by a good director, so as she gave an excellent performance in this movie as well. Previously Hamari Adhuri Kahani was bashed by critics but is one of the best films ever made and no one would deny with this fact who has watched it with a sense of feel that the movie was made to deliver. Half Girlfriend is also one of such movies that are made once in a lifetime. It does not has all time "rona dhona" like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil nor all time "masti" like Befikre where in the end, you are left thinking "Was this movie satisfying enough?". I have reviewed a movie for the first time because i felt that the reviewers are not doing justice by underrating this movie. This movie will remain with you like many other cult classic love stories, i bet. Forget everything, go watch it!

    Biharis will be accorded more respect after viewing this film

    Please don't get influenced by the negative reviews, #HalfGirlfriend is a pretty decent adaptation of Bhagats bestseller. Most of his stories are absolutely filmi n this story is no exception. Performances by Arjun, Shradha n Vikrant are sincere. Bill Gates plays a small role (yes, u read it right). Shradhas styling is perfect n she looks classy n lovely. "Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga" by Arijit is a melodious n sentimental number n it stays with you long after the film is over. The film doesn't take sides n doesn't malign the Hindi-speaking community, Possibly, Biharis will be accorded more respect after viewing this film. The concept of "beti bachao, beti padhao" is also thrown in for good measure. Rating 3/5.

    Why the negative reviews? 🤔

    It was a sweet one time movie. I watched it on Netflix. Arjun Kapoor's acting was good. The movie was bit of a drag in between but generally good time pass.

    Don't Believe the Negative Reviews 2

    I watched this movie twice and enjoyed it each time. I have watched Arjun Kapoor from the beginning of his Bollywood career till now, and can honestly say he has grown as an actor. He played the role of Madhav Jha with passion and intensity; indeed he was much better portraying his part than Shraddha Kapoor was in playing hers (Riya Somani). Her performance lacked conviction and was flat at times. To be honest, the screenplay was thin and the boy meets the girl of his dreams story line has seen its day in Bollywood films. Despite this, the music was good and helped the audience to understand Madhav's intense passion for Riya as well as hers for him. I advise you to ignore the negative ratings and watch the film with an open mind before drawing negative opinions about it.
