Some things I liked some I did not.

hyped garbage

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I did not watch this movie for quite some time due to bad reviews. Watched it recently on Netflix and I really liked the movie.Story, screenplay, cast, characters, acting, emotions, love, location... Everything thing was in place and really enjoyed watching the movie.I don't know why people have given it negative reviews. I recommend watching this movie

Watched on netflix.. liked it ..Its not theater material, and for sure story is predictable..nothing new in it ..so good for at home entertainment..Music is good and so is screenplay ...They could have improved story ... no need to roam around the world for simple story..

The movie is extremely disappointing.Acting wise Shraddha is Okay, Arjun is below average.Music is average.The Hindi take was good.The only reason it takes 1 star is because of the Hindi take (that is appreciated) and the song tu thodi der or ther ja.

Review for Half Girlfriend just to make up your mind, whether to give it a watch.(Completely Spoiler free) Yes the critics have got it right. Its a really stupid dumb movie but should we care? I think not. Life is supposed to be dumb and stupid and idiotic and chaotic and rarely does it make sense..that's Half-Girlfriend!!! I will go at it step by step. I have to say I am pretty impressed with the lead performances. Arjun Kapoor delivers a brilliant performance. Its pretty damn good. Its a really tough act to pull. He has to play this Bihari guy, dislodge us with his tough guy act yet retain his vulnerability and also balance an effervescent buffoonery. He does it really well. He knows if he goes overboard, it will seem clinched - he knows if he underacts - he will seem dull. He somehow manages to maintain that equilibrium still staying in character. Well done - after Aurangzeb I really enjoyed watching you act. A really intelligent actor - He internalizes this character and then plays it in a way he knows the Indian audience will love it. Shraddha Kapoor is perfect too!!! Lets not talk about her basketball sessions. She is just too feminine - she can't pull off those moments but apart from them - she again has a really difficult act to follow playing this rich sophisticated girl and mouth some truly atrocious dialogues - Come on - " I can be your Half Girlfriend" - Its got to be one of the most inane ridiculous words an actress has to say... but when she does it - for a second I felt even I would have been convinced in that situation. That's the hallmark of a great actress. Play a stupid character in a stupid movie yet flesh her out so well that you truly believe she can exist. Then we have Rhea Chakarborty - I just can't stop gushing about her - Sonali Cable is still one of those flawed gems I keep returning to. She has a very sweet beautiful cute screen presence. She lights up the screen every time she enters. I am not going to bore you with a lengthy boring review. The story is like a train-wreck meeting the Titanic but it uses the rich/poor and vernacular/English and Bihar/ROW divide cleverly to keep things moving along. Nothing makes sense, but its that fast hack of a James Hadley Chase first draft - you can't put it down - it begs attention and a lot of the credit goes to Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor - they invest and engage us so well that we keep on watching the thrash and after a while it seems like Switzerland, though fleeting - you know its an illusion - Its Matrix but still they somehow manage to do it. A pretty OK first half which completely falls apart by the second half only to be resurrected by the final 15 minutes, which seem too rushed. Editing, direction, music - all are pretty sturdy and efficient. I may not watch it again. But it definitely is not a horrid watch!!! There are a lot of things to hate in Half- Girlfriend but there are a few things to love too....and they seem quite close to one's own life, which can be smelt, felt and pondered about. This movie is actually an Ode to all those unattainable starry crushes in the sky, we in College, school or even our initial years of professional life craved for and now they are all settled well in life with kids and a great partner. Yes - to just see them and say to yourself that we loved and lost well!! In the wake of those bittersweet memories the movie does become watchable aided by good performances of two actors bringing their "A" game to the proceedings. So "Stay a little Longer" - give it a chance - Its not as endearing as Ae Dil E Mushkil but it may grow on you for all that you know.
