hyped garbage

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It is not very bad but not that good either. This movie is typical and predictable but it has some funny and witty lines,some good scenes and drama and it is overall a good watch to kill time. Alia cannot act but she is not that bad at least she is okay and does a decent act. The others are pretty wooden and typical but this movie would have been great without Arjun Kapoor who is sleep and drowsy and looks like he is in the verge of death. He does live till the climax but you may die of his terrible acting(or lack of it)and dialogue delivery. Apart from him the movie is worth a watch.

After having a lot of sex they decided to take permission to marry...creepy!! Why they need to take permission for marriage then? If they are so obedient shouldn't they think about it before having sex?

I watched this movie twice, felt amazing after watching this movie with someone special.Story is adopted from Chetan Bhagat's novel "2 States: The Story of My Marriage", He is also the writer of the movie. Director Abhishek Varman also did a great job by portraying the story very nicely.A special mention for the music and the background score which nicely complements the narrative and the cinematography makes every frame look lush with color. The editing is at times abrupt, but the sincere performances and the freshness of the film makes these glitches seem too small. It won't be wrong to say 2 States is a good state for Bollywood to be in. Incidentally, for those in an inter-caste marriage, this movie could resonate like your own tale. And for those who already read the novel, the movie still manages to charm and surprise.

Directed by Abhishek Verman based on Chetan Bhagat's book of the same name, the movie is a nice piece of work. It is one of the very few watchable" Bollywood releases of the year 2014. Though the movie has some potholes, it is a nice ride due to it's fantastic screenplay (kudos to Chetan) and the remarkable work done by its actors.The book was liked by many Indian readers as they can more or less relate to the story. The book and so the movie resonates with the life of an average Indian. But the later lacks the humor quotient present in the book. Changes done in the movie are not well formulated, as they become more offensive and weird for the audience. Krish's (Arjun Kapoor) outrage for his father is not well-built and seems a bit overdone. Also Ananya's (Alia Bhatt) ignorance towards Krish's efforts is tempestuous for the viewer.After pointing out the short-comings, it will be unjust to overlook some of the fantastic works of the movie. Songs are in the hit list, actors have done a good job. Arjun Kapoor, after doing so many the violent roles, switches to a decent romantic play. Alia Bhatt, a young beautiful newcomer, is always amazing to watch on screen. Ronit Roy's (Krish's father) performance grabs some more applauds for the movie. Keeping aside the ethical philosophy, the movie actuates the audience till the end. In the disruptive flow of Bollywood movies, this one registers itself as a "must-watch" movie, one of the very few of its kind for the Indian audience.
