To convert their love story into a love marriage, the couple faces a tough battle in front of them. For it is easy to fight and rebel, but much harder to convince.

User Reviews

Good story but some more work needed in acting

Here come the movie with one from Chetan Bhgat's ink. I am bit confused whether to write the review of "2 states" the book or the movie. Both are look like identical twins to father Chetan Bhagat. Simplicity of Chetan's writing is shown in this movie. I consider it is a real story and very close to perfection. Arjun kapoor played Chetan is doing partial justice to the role,not complete because his copper hard hair not look like chetan's. Also Alia look as she was confident,smart but in some scenes she looks over confident. Watch her dialogs during canteen mess. There is also some flaws in story like AK is not able to buy car it shows how badly his employer Yes Bank pays,also size of cubicles of Yes bank is look like lower grade company. And count more a Economcs university toper needs tuition from an IIT chap. But chennai displayed in movie is good.

Useless dialog of movie is Beer is banned in Gujarat because Gandhiji born in Gujarat and he is against alcohol.

I mean come on writers plz do not treat us dumb. Even nursery class student will not excited on this dialog.

In total one time watch movie either on big screen or Ur home screen. Watch if you like Chetan Bhagat and his writing.

Thanks
