Krish and Ananya come from two very different cultural backgrounds, and decide that they won't get married until they convince their parents. As feared, differences between the families pose a hurdle.

The smooth, engaging first half descends, post-interval, into mopey melodrama, and I got impatient waiting for the inevitable resolution.

"2 States" is an effort to go beyond formula while also embracing formulaic elements, including some nice song-and-dance sequences. The mix isn't right yet.

Don't skip this if you have a thing for happily-ever-after endings.

2 States doesn't know where to stop. It takes a good idea and stretches it to a point where it becomes tedious and uninteresting.

If the inordinate length of 2 States isn't bad enough, its soporific tempo certainly is.

Two States is a well-packaged product with great posters and promos but the film is disappointing.

Nice movie. Saw on Netflix, so was able to forward a bit especially songs. Having said, a pretty good one. Especially someone who has spent time with both cultures will truly resonate with the story line.

Kaash meri shaadi bhi kisi se hoti jisse main pyar karta hoon.

"2 States" is ultimately an effective movie because it has strong messages that traditional Indians need to hear. Sometimes the movie does drag because the storyline can overdo telling the same message over and over again, but I still enjoyed the movie overall. I mostly enjoyed the two romantic leads and their interactions with the parents in the movie. The movie balances comedy and drama well and finds the humor in teaching a valuable lesson. It's the type of Bollywood movie that sets out to challenge traditional people's thinking, which requires a certain level of boldness, and I admired that.Â
