Chetan Bhagat would have definitely had movie making in his mind in authoring HGF. The recent flick starts in Stephen's College, Delhi - dwells in Bihar.
With a cinematic end in Manhattan/New York. This is about the obsessed love life of Madhav(Bihar) with friendly natured Riya(Delhi). The author himself plays a brief but a very important role in Madhav's love life.
Chetan took inspiration from evergreen Devdas for true and obsessed love of Madhav - added young indian flavor - with lot of inspiration and hope.
As said, his recent flick has all cinematic elements to it - love at first sight, a guy looking for love and the girl yearning for friendhsip, kisses, subtle references to sex, mother-son relationship, a corrupt state, a social cause, and finally a little dose of English Vinglish. But, humor is missing in HGF.
But, Madhav in HGF makes you to think after reading the story. His struggle in hi-fi college, his attempts in english speaking, his leaving of lucrative offer for a social cause, his struggle in rebuilding his family school, his values in maintaining the culture(one on one relationship), and finally'don't, don't give up' attitude need a special mention. If this is understood by the young indians, the change is for good for future India.
I heard that HGF is being made as movie. You can wait to watch in movie hall. I suggest you grab a copy, live through the love life of Madhav and get little hope and inspiration.
