What happens

Half Girlfriend is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film based on the novel of the same name written by Chetan Bhagat. The film is directed by Mohit Suri and stars Shraddha Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor in lead roles. The film also places Vikrant Massey and Rhea Chakraborty in pivotal roles. Principal photography commenced in June 2016 and filming locations include Delhi, Mumbai, Patna, Dumraon, Varanasi, New York City and Cape Town. The film was released worldwide on 19 May 2017. Upon release, the movie received mixed-to-negative reviews upon release, with praise for its soundtrack, visuals, and a few supporting performances; but criticism towards its implausible story, weak screenplay, clichéd plot twists, dialogues, and unconvincing lead acting. Despite the criticism, it performed moderately well at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
