Both big Bollywood releases this week, Hindi Medium and Half Girlfriend, have a common theme: How English is not just a language, but a matter of privilege.
While Hindi Medium director Saket Chaudhary deals with it in a humorous way, Mohit Suri gives the non-English speaking community the Chetan Bhagat brand of sympathy in Half Girlfriend. Not anger, but self pity.
HALF GIRLFRIEND STORY: Madhav Jha (Arjun) a rustic boy from Bihar who is drawn to his college-mate, Riya Somani (Shraddha), an affluent English-speaking girl from Delhi.
