Half Girlfriend

---

1

Sir? Sir, you...

I'm Hemant the broker.

Do you remember me?

Ma'am had left the key in the mailbox.

That's how I got in.

She's leaving Patna.

She moved out because she quit her job.

She broke the lease

and I have to pay the fine.

She said I could recoup the loss

by selling her stuff.

That's why I am here.

I have a question.

Can I keep the TV?

My wife has been pestering me

for a flat-screen TV.

I'll sell off the fridge and AC.

You can take her personal belongings.

You can keep it

or give it to her later.

Sir, may I ask you something?

Please don't mind.

I know you guys weren't married

and this apartment was leased to her.

What did she really mean to you?

Half? Again? Tell me something.

-Hey, Madhav!

-Okay, explain me this.

Tell me something...

What's the Hindi term

for half girlfriend?

-Please tell me.

-Madhav.

Sir, I want to enroll in a good college.

Your college is famous even in Bihar.

It's quite famous.

Sir, I hail from a village.

I feel that... I feel...

I'd like to reply in Hindi.

If I continue speaking in English,

it will take me the whole day.

My mother runs a small school

in our village.

The name of my village is Simrao.

A village plagued by

crushing poverty and famine.

That's why I want to study

Samajshastra.

What! Samaj...

That's sociology, sir.

-Of course, Samaj is sociology.

-Sociology.

Yes.

That's why I chose sociology

to understand the reasons

behind the poverty in my village.

Bihar is in a mess today.

It wasn't always like this.

Bihar had a rich heritage.

One of the ancient universities

of the world.

Nalanda University. It's in Bihar.

Goddess Sita, Guru Gobind Singh,

Chandragupta Maurya, Shershah Suri,

Ashoka and Gautam Buddha.

Where do they all come from?

Bihar, sir.

I agree that the last few decades

haven't been great for us.

There are many people like my mother

who are working tirelessly

for the society.

I want to work with them,

so that no one can ask us the kind

of question you just asked me.

Please don't mind me saying this.

Would you choose a sensible student...

...or a student who speaks

a foreign language fluently?

Thank you.

Mom, I think I should return

without giving the sport tryouts.

Why do you sound so disheartened?

Your interview went well.

No, mom, there is a lot of emphasis

on speaking in English.

Everything about this place

screams English.

Remember, you are the Prince of Simrao.

Don't forget the circumstances

you grew up with.

Remember what I taught you.

Never give up. You must conquer defeat!

There should be a reason to stay back.

You have to find that reason.

Don't let your head

rule over your heart.

Once your heart finds a reason,

the entire universe will conspire

to help you.

Yes, mom.

Such a beautiful girl

is playing basketball!

Man, she speaks English so fluently!

I mean, she can give an Englishman

a run for his money.

I've decided I'd speak to her

at least once in my lifetime.

Madhav, talk to her in English.

Are you scared? Say something.

You're a good player. You should shoot.

If you play, you might lose.

But if you run away,

you'll surely lose.

Riya Somani!

Those two girls are strong players.

They'll help. Your aim is perfect.

You must shoot.

Riya Somani!

Riya! Riya! Riya!

Are you going to play in that?

This is a trial, not a joke.

-She is asking you whether you...

-I know what she is asking.

I am Madhav Jha.

I got a reason to stay back, mom.

Wait and watch how I defeat failure.

Vikram, pass the ball.

I'll show you.

Every time I look into your eyes

I try to find myself in them

My only desire is to be with you

I don't dream of anything else

Oh, what a beautiful weather!

Raindrops gently kiss my face

Every drop of rain reminds me of you

It's been long since

I am dreaming of being with you

You are the one I've been looking for

All my life

-I swear, I'll slit his throat.

-I'm Ashu from Darbhanga.

This is Raman from Patna.

I live nearby the banks of the Ganga.

My house is nearby

the railway station and the Ganges.

Where is your room?

We are your neighbors.

Our room is next to yours.

Then who is my roommate?

It's me. Madhav Jha.

I'm Shailesh Kumar Pandey. Come in!

My heart skips a beat

Every time we meet

My heart finds solace

I have nowhere to go

My destination is in your arms

Take me in your arms

There is nobody between us

It's only the two of us

Oh beloved, come close to me

Oh, what a beautiful weather!

The raindrops gently kiss my face

Every drop of rain reminds me of you

It's been long since

I am dreaming of being with you

You are the one I've been looking for

All my life

Madhav, what are you doing?

Hey!

I follow your fragrance

I've been waiting for you

My heart keeps wandering around

Every path leads me to you

I have a request

Please come only once

And know my unsaid feelings

Didn't I tell you it would rain?

Now, hurry up.

Thankfully, the clothes didn't get wet.

Oh, what a beautiful weather!

Raindrops gently kiss my face

Every drop of rain reminds me of you

It's been long since

I am dreaming of being with you

You are the one I've been looking for

All my life

Madhav.

This is what I've been waiting for.

Now, watch my NBA skills.

It's not Narmada Bachao Andolan.

It's National Basketball Association.

That's the only thing I've ever

watched on TV since my childhood.

You copied his style perfectly.

Great job, Madhav Jha.

LeBron James.

I'm falling for her.

Steven Curry.

I can't figure out a word!

She sounds cute when she speaks English.

Yes, mom, I was playing basketball.

Yes.

Alright, I'll come home late.

Do you speak Hindi?

What is so surprising about that?

Everybody in Delhi speaks Hindi.

Okay, listen!

Can we talk in Hindi?

What matters is conversation.

The language doesn't matter.

I'm hungry. Can we go to the cafe?

You wear these sunglasses

to look at girls, don't you?

-What are you saying?

-You are cunning.

Let's have fun.

What happened?

I was shocked to see both of you together!

You have fallen for the hottest girl

in college.

Riya Somani is a bombshell.

You are a lucky man.

-Hey, Madhav!

-You lucky man!

I don't like the sound of it.

Why? What's wrong?

Don't you think she is

way out of your league?

What's wrong with him?

He is the Prince of Simrao.

-Just look at him.

-Shut up!

Don't flatter him too much.

He will fall flat on his face some day.

Madhav, don't listen to them.

Riya will lure you, tempt you.

-That's all.

-Ignore him.

Get lost. Let me sleep.

Sharing the room with you guys

was a wrong decision.

-You hate that I'm doing well.

-Why are you pushing me?

-Forget it!

-Why are you taking this to heart?

-Please let me sleep.

-Hey, listen. I have an idea.

Why don't you test her

first and then decide?

-Test? What kind of test?

-Yes.

Ask her out for anything

else except basketball.

Ask her out on a date or a movie.

-Date?

-What an idea!

Book the premium seats.

They give you a blanket.
