2 States

wogma rating: Watch but no rush (?) - The ultra-keen could consider the big screen

quick review:

Debutante director Abhishek Varman gives us a Chetan Bhagat adaptation that doesn't attempt to offer any more heft than what the book does. It provides instant gratification primarily because of a charming lead cast and an excellent supporting cast that rises above the rather tame writing.

*I am out on a vacation. Pradeep has been kind enough to review the film for wogma. So here goes...

~ meetu*

----------------------------------------------

2 States is the kind of film that is most likely to give you exactly what you expect from it; and that isn't necessarily a good thing.

A young, vibrant love story between a Punjabi boy and a Tamilian girl - or, as we Indians seem to revel in relegating to highly generic region-based nomenclature as 'North Indian' and 'South Indian' (for the record, 'North India' and 'South India' are not places!) - 2 States gives you a thoroughly engaging lead pair amidst stereotypical humour taking off on the respective states. (The showy Punjabi or the condescending Tamilian, for instance.)

That the attractive leads are going to fall in love with each other is a given. Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt occupy the screen as well as their young, yuppie characters with ease. They play off each other well; to use a cliché that should have been abolished even before slavery was, they share 'great chemistry'.

What is also nice to see is the easy manner in which the couple - both the boy as well as the girl - handles intimacy, without it being made as big a deal as we're used to seeing in our movies. In fact, the scenes featuring just the couple are rather refreshing. In the context of our big mainstream cinema, this is the closest we've come to capturing the spirit of how the youth of today treat relationships.

But in India, love is the mere beginning. The hard part is convincing the respective sets of parents, particularly when it so happens that they lie on opposite sides of the great cultural divide brought forth by the mighty Vindhyas.

In terms of plot, the film stays largely faithful to the Chetan Bhagat novel it is adapted from. One can safely say that 2 States isn't Bhagat's worst bit of writing, though that isn't particularly saying much. Where the film falters, despite being largely watchable, is precisely where it should actually have been the strongest - in the conflict that prevents the couple in love from ending up together.

If the romance portions are breezy and make you smile often, the portions involving the parents look like they belong to another film, one that was set a few decades back. True, the Punjabi-Tamil (or, North-South, if you prefer it) clash is meant to evoke comedy, but it comes across as too forced. It's hard to digest the kind of acrimony seen in the film in this day and age, even though the reluctance of the older generation is still very much a reality.

Another sore point in the film is the relationship that Arjun’s character Krish shares with his father played by a suitably gruff Ronit Roy. It keeps cropping up through the film, but is never once fully explained.

The film is also sinfully long. At two and a half hours, considering the demographic the film is aimed at, the film is a good thirty minutes too long. The climax of the film drags on and on, and then drags some more, before ending exactly where you knew it was going to end. The film also follows a forced non-linear narrative that just doesn't seem to have a point. Why it moves back and forth in time is a mystery, when it would have worked just the same as a flat-out linear narrative.

The real takeaway from the film, then, is the manner in which the supporting cast, the four parents to be precise, create characters that are at once over-the-top yet believable. Revathy and Amrita Singh, in particular, are top notch. While Arjun is earnest and Alia brings spunk, verve and spontaneity to her part, they aren't faced with the task of creating distinct characters, the way the senior actors are.

It would have helped immensely if the film had a more memorable soundtrack, though a couple of songs are quite catchy, to be fair.

When you walk out of 2 States, then, one isn't likely to be absolutely gushing about it, nor will one be particularly annoyed by it. It just gives you what it promises - tolerable enough fun for just as long as it lasts.

So-So, by Anna MM Vetticad, annavetticadgoes2themovies : ...That being said, 2 States is moody, low-key, pleasant yet steeped in the idiosyncracies that mark relationships even in contemporary, seemingly forward-thinking India. It revolves around a likeable lead pair, and is unusual in tenor as Bollywood romances go. 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. ... full review

So-So, by Núria Bonals Hidalgo, Bolly Spice : ...2 States is an enjoyable film, though an average piece of entertainment. It feels too long and the narration is quite irregular. The story would have benefited from a better balance between romance and drama, which would have allowed the leading couple’s performance to stand out more intensely.... full review

So-So, by Deepa Gahlot, cinemaah : ...Trying to remain faithful to the book makes the film too long with large chunks of banality. The novel needed updating and adapting instead of slavish copying to make it relevant to the times. But even as it is, 2 States serves its commercial purpose—romance, laughs, some sniffles, music, dance, family values, wrapped with a glittery bow. ... full review

So-So, by Kusumita Das, Deccan Chronicle : ...A special mention for the music and the background score which nicely complements the narrative and the cinematography makes every frame look lush with colour. 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... full review

So-So, by Martin D'Souza, Glamsham.com : ...Having said that, it would also be safe to say that 2 STATES will find acceptance from the 'young in love'... full review

So-So, by Rajeev Masand, IBN Live : ...Parental opposition is one of the oldest conflicts as far as love stories go. Sure, the culture clash here gives us some genuine laughs. But at 2 hours and 30 minutes, this is a long, indulgent film that wears you out. I'm going with two-and-a-half out of five for 2 States. I've never rooted so hard for a couple to get married. If only so I could go home.... full review

So-So, by Shubhra Gupta, indian express : ...It’s nice to see Bollywood attempting to create a contemporary young couple. I liked the way they proceed without fuss into that most modern of compacts — of attraction that leads to conjugation, minus coyness. It is done as just something that happens, a no-weightage progression. ... full review

So-So, by Mohar Basu, koimoi : ...2 states is barely unwatchable but misses the magic of Chetan Bhagat’s novel. As a stand alone, it is endearingly done with Alia and Arjun’s scorching chemistry coming off as adorable. Despite a half baked soul, this movie is worth the price of your popcorn. I am going with a generous 3/5. The Bhagat fan in me is disappointed but the cinegoer isn’t.... full review

So-So, by Joginder Tuteja, Movie Talkies : ...Now if only the film would have been a crisper affair with the light hearted flavor of the first half moving well into the second half too, 2 States could have been so much more than it eventually turns out to be - See more at: http://www.movietalkies.com/movies/reviews/20169/2-states#sthash.sZWh0XLG.dpuf... full review

So-So, by Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV : ...2 States is good for a one-time watch. ... full review

So-So, by Sonia Chopra, Sify Movies : ...The film targets a young audience, and they have to be prepared to appreciate the story at a slower pace than they are used to in commercial Bollywood cinema. It's worth the patience, because you get a well-cooked meal where all the flavours get a change to integrate with the dish. Worth sampling! ... full review

So-So, by Shivam Sharma, Upper Stall : ...In the end, you'd be better off sticking with the book and skipping this one or if you really wish to watch two contrasting families coming to terms together, rent a DVD of Basu Da's classic Khatta Meetha. ... full review

So-So, by Rummana Ahmed, yahoo! India : ...While the performances tug at your heartstrings, it’s the labored pace that tests your patience. You enjoy it for the most part but the journey still tires you out.... full review

Thumbs down, by Piyasree Dasgupta, FirstPost : ...If all of the above don’t seem mildly disturbing, fictitious or a case of gross generalising to you, you’ll love 2 States. And since you’re not one of your kind, and, in fact, have millions for company, 2 States will be a thumping hit... full review

Thumbs down, by Johnson Thomas, Free Press Journal : ...Abhishek Verman’s script could have done better with a fresher outlook. As faithful to Bhagat’s book as he could keep it,... full review

Thumbs down, by Faheem Ruhani, india today : ...Lastly, what was that long, boring psychiatric session that Krrish has with a faceless psychiatrist. If it was not there, would it have made any difference to the film? Unfortunately, 2 States is the kind of film that leaves you unsatisfied in spite of some good performances.... full review

Thumbs down, by Mansha Rastogi, Now Running.com : ...2 States is a wasted opportunity to encash the popularity of 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. ... full review

Thumbs down, by Namrata Joshi, Outlook India : ...And then there’s also the subplot of a bad dad (Ronit Roy, made for the role, with an Udaan behind him) suddenly turning good and helping out the estranged son. Why this sudden change of heart? And how? However, long after having watched the film, I am still wondering about another question: what purpose did the psychiatrist and her couch serve in the film? Clumsy touch that!... full review

Thumbs down, by Anuj Kumar, The Hindu : ...Arjun finally gets a role where he has to explore the vulnerability of the character without any props and he doesn’t disappoint. It is their natural charm, particularly Alia’s effortless approach that makes you invest in their relationship despite the fact that the narrative unfolds in a soap operatic tone.... full review

Thumbs down, by Aparna Mudi, Zee News : ...Watch the movie for a lack of any other show to go to with your loved one. Despite the attempts of a modern love story, this 2 and a half hour movie can get to your nerves if you are expecting anything different.... full review

This time I have not yet booked the tickets for tonight. Hoping to see your review early enough to make the call.

Having said that I have read the book so I know what it is all about. Nevertheless translating a book into a film is never an easy task.

Anand Sachdev

Excellent Movie ! Great Performances by the leading cast and the supporting cast ! Background music is very good !
Overall a must watch movie for those who like good sensible movies with fair amount of humor and emotion !!!! Yes, it doesn't offer anything more than what many have read in the book, but that's already told that its a direct adaptation from the book. So it makes all the sense. I also disagree that the movie should have been short by 1/2 an hour, as it would not have been able to do justice with all the characters in that case. Anyways, I simply loved the movie, great work by Abhishek the director.

Ehinome Okojie

This film is heading for 80 cr.

Pradeep, oh we Americans are going to watch this film, b/c we love Indian romantic comedies, with songs! And I see Shankar Ehsaan Loy's done the songs - since I've got a number of their tunes on my iPod's Gym Mix track, that's enough of a recommendation for me! :)
