The trailer of 2 States has arrived with a bang! The fans of the novel were eagerly waiting to see the reel-life Ananya and Krish and here they are. Alia Bhatt as the Tam-Brahm girl and Arjun Kapoor as the Punjabi geek are all set to woo the audiences. Let’s see what makes 2 States a hatke love story.
The trailer begins with a scene where Arjun Kapoor shares his problem with a psychiatrist and tells viewers the mantra of life -- duniya mein shaadi karne ke liye sabse jyada zaroori kya hota hai?... pyaar.
Then follow a brisk rush of scenes showing how a bespectacled Krish falls in love with the most stunning girl of his college, Ananya. The love-making scenes between Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor do spice up the trailer.
Adapted from Chetan Bhagat’s bestselling novel, the movie 2 States is not without Bollywood tadka. Some of the funniest lines from the book have even made it to the movie as witty one-liners. Watch out for Arjun Kapoor as Krish when he mutters silently in front of Ananya’s father: mooh toh aise bana rahe they jaise main aunty pe chance mar raha hoon. Also, check out Alia when she tells Arjun: tragedy is the new cool. Howzzat!
If the boy and girl are in love their parents can’t bear the sight of each other. Amrita Singh as the feisty Punjabi mother of Krish is outspoken and hilarious, while Revathy is the amusing, well-mannered Tamil lady who openly taunts Krish’s family as typical Punjabi, uncultured people!
So, will the marriage of two cultures separate the two lovers? 2 States has a happy ending but before that a lot comes to pass. The regular naach gaana routine isn’t missing. Alia Bhatt will again dance like Radha, but this time to Bharatnatyam steps. Arjun is no bratty ‘Ishaqzaada’ or ‘Gunda’, rather a soft-spoken bank professional, just wanting to get married to the love of his life.
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar, the movie is directed by Abhishek Varman, and will release on April 18. Catch Alia and Arjun in the trailer here:
