2 States (2014)

2 States is the on screen adaptation of the popular novel 2states of the same name..
The Dialogues of the Movie are the high point and while some are borrowed from the book the rest are new,refreshing and impactful.. The movie is breezy,light and colorful.. Performance from all the actors are top notch..
If you have read the novel then let me tell you its not better than the novel and nothing is new.. but for the majority who haven't its a really good movie too have come after a long time.. Its humorous and sends out a message at the same time but not being too serious..Its real and refreshing..but on the other side for those who have watched it might turn out to be predictable, dragging & boring..

Awesome movie !!! Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are from different communities of two different corners of India. They fall in love while studying in IIM but their parents were not satisfied about their partners so there was drama about how they got agreed to marriage. Watch it!!!

Super awesomatic movie.The real story of chetan bagat and the 2 states book is well portrayed in this movie.On screen chemistry between arjun kapoor and alia bhatt is mind blowing.The charmingness showed by alia is too nice.Though she is not aged enough to play this role,She did her best in this movie.Both south Indian and north Indian culture is also well showed in this romantic drama.

Directed by Abhishek Varman 2 states was a average movie for me. I've read 2 states novel by Chetan Bhagat, from which the movie was adapted. And if i compare it with novel it was a less entertaining version of it.
If you haven't read 2 states then you'll may find it a good movie.
Story undoubtedly is the best part. However, some part of the novel has been deducted. The movie must have been a cake make for the director as the scenes are a ditto copy of the novel. Screenplay was average, script unimpressive, dialogues copied, i found nothing new i can praise of.
The only person happy with the movie must be Chetan Bhagat.
Best part were the songs. Arijit singh and Benny Dayal's hit tracks did a impressive promotion for the movie. Uffo and Locha-e-Ulfat were hit even before the release.
When it comes to acting it was average. Rohit Roy as Krish's father was the only actor i could see. Arjun Kapoor, keeping in mind that he's a beginner did a very good jod. Amrita Singh also did a pretty nice job as a typical punjabi mother. Alia Bhatt was a hell. South Indian parents did great, although.
In India, love stories are really praised. And movies like DDLJ had already set a standard. Therefore, creating anything of that level is a really difficult task.
All in all 2 states is decent movie. Must be watched at least once. Not a multiple watch.
I'll give it a 3.

adrasis are dark, Punjabis are cash-obsessed, and never the twain shall meet. Those familiar prejudices make for a legitimate movie pitch, but '2 States', directed by first-timer Abhishek Varman, is a frustrating case of a promising premise that doesn't fully fructify into a compelling film.
