Before I start my review of Half-Girlfriend, I need to get a few confessions out of the way..a) My dear friend Sangeeta Shahaney"s lovely daughter Anushka debuted as a playback singer and lyricist in this film- so hearing my friend's little girl was pretty overwhelming b) I am a sucker for love stories and they are my favorite genre of films to watch. Having said that, the film had garnered mostly bad reviews, and I am no CB fan, and dont really like Shraddha Kapoor and can just about tolerate Arjun Kapoor? so I went in to watch the film with really low expectations. In simple words - I really liked the film. Half Girlfriend the book was terrible, but - as with most of CB's books HG the film is a great, fun film to watch. Unlike the 'love stories' in recent times, which have turned out to be anything but, HG is a true blue love story. One that takes you along for the ride, makes you feel for couple, mediocre acting notwithstanding. Go watch the film if you are a sucker for love stories like I am. It is certainly worth one watch. Maybe a 4/5 is generous..but if Hindi medium was a 3 - ths certainlyi a more entertaining film.
