2 States starring Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt is one of the most underrated modern romantic dramas in Bollywood. The film feels emotional, engaging and very well executed. It moves at a quick pace without any unnecessary fluff, so the drama feels natural.

Every time I watch it I'm completely hooked on the story, and the climax still brings me to tears. The love story feels fresh and relatable compared to the usual Bollywood romances.

Both leads, along with their families, deliver strong performances and their chemistry works beautifully throughout. I'm almost convinced Ronit Roy is a toxic dad in real life! The soundtrack is also great, especially the song "Man mast magan".

In my view, if audiences appreciated grounded romantic dramas more, 2 States would easily score above 8.5 on IMDb.


Kartik

One of the few films where Arjun gave a truly solid performance – completely believable and natural.

Mahima

Underrated? The film pulled in around 100 crores just riding on Arjun Sir's stardom.

Nikhil

The movie is pretty entertaining. It has a solid story, decent performances from everyone – including Arjun Kapoor – a great music album and it was also a box‑office success.

When I think of mid‑budget rom‑coms or dramas, I expect films like this, but I've been let down in recent years.

Ritvik

Chaandaniya is a beautiful song too! The whole album is superb. The film explores cultural differences nicely and the cast delivers great performances, especially Ronit Roy, Revathy and Amrita Singh alongside the lead pair.

My favourite scene is when Ananya resolves Minti's wedding stand‑off.

Naman

This movie was a superhit – kahaan se underrated?

Ritvik

Really underrated – my favourite song 'Locha e Ulfat' is from this film.

Juhi

*Jism ye kya hai khokhli seepi, rooh da moti hai tu*

Tanmay

Any similar recommendations?

Only time Arjun Kapoor had me rooting for him...

Shruti

Good movie and great soundtrack.
