Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Story is from one of the novel of Chetan Bhagat. Very nicely written. Movie contains a starting story from University. Love start, meetings happen means everything happened but married life lacks happiness due to lack of faith in India's 2-states cultures. Thats a story.Romance is too much. Nicely created drama. But that I noted is representation is not good. The movie goes line to line. Suspense and drama didn't have much attraction. I just loved the truth between two states cultures and trust line representation of Indian Culture. Truth Indian Culture is very well represented but actual heart touching concepts of Indian Culture lacks somewhere.Overall they tried their best and it's true concept.

It is so true until the couple is separate.. (I mean until they blaming each other) but after that writer just want to satisfy the spectator..naturally there are lot of couples have to suffer due to things not going in there favor,and mostly after that things go out of their control.. and be unhappy as well as helpless and hole life is suffer by memorizing their wonderful memories..It is very rare that, things go correct just like in the move.. it just for happy ending..and i really love the story.my one is more simile to this until the couple is separated. and i am hoping my one will end like this.. some western person might feels we are lucky to to bond this much in culture but it should be there but need not to extremes..(last lines just for minimum 10 lines) thanks..

I haven't read the book by Chetan Bhagat so I had no idea how good or bad the film would be, but I was pleasantly surprised. 2 States portrays the every day troubles of different backgrounds of the Hindu culture coming together for marriage. A hardcore punjabi family vs the soft and calm tamil family, is a representation of all mixed Hindu marriages and Abhishek Varman showns this very naturally. Arjun and Alia's romance, especially in the university days is very cute and When the two families get together later on in the film, there is some brilliantly funny scenes! Both Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt did justice to their respective lead roles and have a fantastic on screen chemistry. Alia comes off perfectly natural on screen (she has overacted in some films), I think a lot of people will stand up and notice her after this performance. This is a standout performance for Arjun, away from the action packed films like Ishaqzaade, Aurangzeb and Gunday. He plays the confused Punjabi boy perfectly. The scene stealer on many occasions however was Amrita Singh! She is a fantastic talent - why she doesn't do more films is beyond me, but hopefully after such a lovely performance she will catch more attention. Ronit Roy plays his role excellently. Revathi is also very sweet in her role. The music of the film is another plus, and certainly adds a lot to the film. My picks are certainly Mast Magan and Locha-E-Ulfat. 2 States is a must watch, firstly to watch a simple but beautifully put love story, but also for some excellent performances!

Well movie is good overall and is a light romantic comedy.Its worth watch for one time only and the only flaw I found in this movie is its over length otherwise its good and the ending is also of typical Indian love story that you can always expect.Actors were perfect for the role in my opinion and also Arjun Kappor and Alia Bhatt have done a great job. So if you want to have a good time and want to watch with your family it is a good movie. The length of the film could have been short as in the end it looks like they were dragging the movie as it is the problem with the most bollywood films that they drag the movies a lot even if the story is dumb.
