Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is one of the finest movies to come out of the Hindi film industry of late. This is one of those rare Hindi movies that commands a repeat viewing.
-
If you are in a mood for a Bollywood family saga with measured melodrama and the right amount of naach-gaana, visit 2 States.
-
...creates a world where characters don't shout to be heard. They just belong to a world where being proper, politically or otherwise, is not always a pre-condition.
-
The best thing about Two States is that it is fresh -- in the casting, the approach, and the language. It's the kind of romcom that makes you go 'hmmm' rather than 'awwww.'
-
...more of a deep and meaningful family drama than a romance.
-
...provides instant gratification primarily because of a charming lead cast and an excellent supporting cast that rises above the rather tame writing.
-
An endearing, engaging take on the North-South divide.
-
...the sincere performances and the freshness of the film makes these glitches seem too small.
-
With all its flaws, it touches the heart and had me rooting for Ananya and Krish to end up together. When that happens in a film, you know it’s worked.
-
...alas, for most part, Varman, much like a good schoolboy, sticks to the novel, without really adding his own creative inputs. Bhagat’s book is no classic to demand that kind of reverence.
-
...a long, indulgent film that wears you out.
-
The smooth, engaging first half descends, post-interval, into mopey melodrama, and I got impatient waiting for the inevitable resolution.
-
The unabashed shallowness of a Chetan Bhagat book meets the inane glitter of a Karan Johar-Sajid Nadiadwala production in 2 States.The result is the creation of a third state – the state of overpowering indolence.
-
...is unwieldy and, given the talent attached, disappointing.
-
...a bafflingly superficial adaptation of a book that should have remained a book.
-
Despite the cast, the budgets and brand in place, the film fails to make a mark purely due to faulty execution. Not a funny or entertaining rom-com this one.
-
...has its share of moments, but they don't add up to make this an entertaining ride.
-
This is a film you can definitely skip.
-
...had all elements that could well make for an entertaining rom-com. But a potent plot gets mired by amateurish handling.
-
It is a pretty decent translation that will work for fans of the book and those who haven’t read it but given the potential of the material, it falls a little short.
-
This material, based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel 2 States: The Story of My Marriage, might have worked if treated with slapstick energy. Instead, Varman tries to class it up.
