2 STATES is based on Chetan Bhagat's bestseller '2 States: The Story Of My Marriage' and since the film is set in the present times, when a lot of people have liberal viewpoints on love and marriage, one wonders why the principal characters -- the North Indian boy [Arjun Kapoor] and his South Indian sweetheart [Alia Bhatt] -- do not oppose their parents' wishes and get married? Both are in love, both are free-thinking individuals, both have lucrative jobs and aren't dependent on their respective families... so what's the hitch? Conversely, in this day and age, why do *some* people feel that since their kid has done so well in life, he/she deserves a partner from their own community?
