The Magic Snowflake, Hindi Medium, Half Girlfriend

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Magic Snowflake
This movie was watched on Tata Sky Video on Demand where movies and serials get downloaded on the pen drive if we keep the box on in standby mode overnight.
It is animation movie. I will say the animation is not of very good quality (we have seen better) but still it is a good movie for a one time watch.

Hindi Medium
This movie was watched at Rockine Mall Carnival Cinemas at Jalahalli after taking an unlimited moviepass at www.moviecardindia.com.
It is a good movie for a one time watch.
This movie makes us question whether we want to see ourselves chasing after English medium schools for our kids or can we be satisfied with Govt. run schools provided they are managed efficiently. This essentially also a poor vs rich story whether poor people are more "human" and so on. It leads us to question our values.

Half Girlfriend
This movie was watched at Rockine Mall Carnival Cinemas at Jalahalli after taking an unlimited moviepass at www.moviecardindia.com.
This movie is too good and I liked it. I will have to mention it through bullet points.

• Arjun Kapoor has matured and looks totally "grown up" in the movie. I mean I have seen earlier movies of Arjun Kapoor like 'Gunday', 'Ki and Ka', '2 States' etc but in this movie he looks more 'healthy' and I have seen his earlier photos where he used to be 'very fat' and then slimmed down. In this movie he looks healthy. Healthy does not mean fat and likewise fat does not mean healthy. He looks like a body builder or wrestler to say the least. He can portray the villain or hero and can be an action star as well. I guess he should not try to be like Salman Khan or his uncle Anil Kapoor who is traditionally thin. He also looks and resembles his father Boney Kapoor the features are quite visible. Full marks to Arjun Kapoor. He also portrays a "Prince" or 'Rajkumar' in the movie and his personality suits just fine.
• This movie is like a fairy tale and basically takes three scenarios : one is in Delhi, second is in Bihar and the third is in New York and the Christmas segment in New York is quite remarkable and that is where it resembles a modern day fairy tale. Badrinath ki Dulhaniya took the story to Singapore but this movie took it to the city of cities New York.
• Shradha Kapoor looks very hot and sexy in the movie and can become any man's fantasy. Anyone can be attracted to her and for girls like her people in schools and colleges (we must have seen such competition in our lifetimes) can get into competition like we see in animal world where males wrestle and compete to get the females attention and mating rituals. Full marks to Shradha Kapoor as well.
• I will say this is an Indian movie in the sense it can be dubbed in any Indian language and it will fit perfectly fine. I mean Delhi and New York can be common but Bihar can be replaced with any other Indian state.
• The friend of Arjun Kapoor who goes on to New York and friends of friends have also done a great role.
• The funny segment is the segment where Bill Gates image is morphed into another look alike. But I guess the effort is commendable.
• Also the views from atop the India Gate is wonderful and makes you fall in love with the world over and over again.
• This movie is also like "Hindi medium" movie in the sense that Arjun Kapoor (and his family) is well versed in Hindi and Shradha Kapoor (and her family) is well versed in English. Though Arjun Kapoor is a prince the rich-poor divide is not there but still the Hindi-English divide is there.
