The movie is based on chetab bahagats book which also called as half girlfriend.the movie directed by mohit suri is no heart.all talk.despite sincere effort. This romantic and drama fails to strike a chord.reason? .poor writing
Half girlfriend is about a mans obession towards a woman who keeps running away from him.due to bizarre reasons.the film is too long streched without much feelings.while the first hour still has few breezy moments between its leading pair .the second hour is very disappointing also the sub plot .involving madhavs attempt to educate girls in patna bihar, appers foreced .the film aims to be a heart touching romantic fare.but ends being barely anything
The screenplay is poor .i have not read the novel , but what has come up on the big screen , is under whelming .mohit suris direction is below average .cinematography, editing & art , design are fine .music by verious artists, is wonderful
Performance -wise arjun needs to loosen up .though he makes an earnest attempt to portary madhav & even get the bihari dialect right.he doesnt leave much of an impression. His act feels monotonous after a point .shradha kapoor is wonderful & looks stunning . Despite being given a half baked character .she gives her best & is the sole saving grace .of the supporting cast .vikrant massey is sensational as arjuns friend & anisa butt leaves a mark as vikrants wife .overall good 1 movie.
