Critic Reviews for 2 States

All Critics (10) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (6)

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

Shubhra Gupta
The Indian Express
"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.

Gulf News (UAE)
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.

Though there is a sense of deja-vu, for those who have read the book, the movie still manages to charm and surprise.

Meena Iyer
The Times of India
The best part of the film is the awkward relationship between Krish and his overbearing, abusive, alcoholic father, played superbly by Ronit Roy.

This is a film you can definitely skip.

Sweta Kaushal
Hindustan Times
An autobiographical tale of North Indian author Chetan Bhagat's love story with his Tamilian wife, this film is a bafflingly superficial adaptation.

Rahul Desai
Mumbai Mirror
The next evolution of earnestly old-fashioned family-oriented melodramas, respecting the classic traditions and ideals while infusing them with more contemporary and therefore real world-relevant and relatable sensibilities.
