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?

Coming to technicalities, the movie is a complete replication of the book, with certainly no change at all. Somewhat the director has forgotten the fact that the book was written 5 years back. So at least the audience were expecting some twists and turns. Anyways the entire movie revolved more around the family drama than the love story, which apparently got too elongated. As Chetan Bhagat rightfully stated all the actors did justice to the characters. Overall it is a nice watch with a lot of scope to improvement.
