First Look of "Half Girlfriend"
The story begins with Madhav Jha, a rural boy from Dumraon, a village in Buxar, Bihar, as he comes to meet the author Chetan Bhagat and leaves behind a few journals from his half-girlfriend who he believes has died. Chetan Bhagat calls him up the next morning to hear his story. He starts by describing his trouble entering St. Stephens, as his English was quite bad. Being a good basketball player, Madhav gets admission through his sports quota. The rich and beautiful Riya Somani is a girl from Delhi and is also selected through the sports quota. Madhav and Riya become close friends due to their association with basketball. Madhav wants to make her his girlfriend, but she refuses. He demands that they get physical. Offended by his obscene ultimatum, Riya parts company with him and tells him not to talk to her anymore.

Review of "Half Girlfriend"
The film released worldwide on 19 May 2017. Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's romantic drama 'Half Girlfriend', collected as much as Rs 10.75 crore on Sunday, thus taking its weekend collections to an estimated Rs 31 crore according to a report on Boxoffice.
The assumption that many have read Chetan Bhagat’s 2014 novel of the same name should be a safe one because Bhagat’s fluff has its own following. But, Half Girlfriend is definitely not one of his best works. So, Mohit Suri gives us a celluloid outing that is thoda fun and largely exasperating.
