Boy meets girl. They fall in love. They want to marry. But parents have a problem.<br /><br />While this theme has been remixed and recycled in Bollywood forever, Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor's 2 States trailer, manages to look fresh and engaging, thanks to the lead pair's palpable chemistry.<br /><br />Ananya Swaminathan (Alia Bhatt) is a south Indian from a 'shuddh Brahmin' household, and Arjun Kapoor is a 'typical' Punjabi. They fall in love and decide to meet each other's parents. And the hell breaks loose.<br /> <br />When Arjun asks his mother (Amrita Singh) to talk to Alia's mother (Revathy), this is what she says - "Kis bhaasha mein baat karoon, mujhe madrasi nahi aati."<br /> <br />In another instance, Revathy calls Amrita 'typical Punjabi, uncultured people'.<br /> <br />The film is based on Chetan Bhagat's semi-autobiographical novel 2 States.
