Since I would not like to play spoilsport and delve into the specifics to annoy the author, I suggest you lay your hands on a copy of the book & enjoy a fabulously good read. This coupled with a typical Punjabi marriage and the Delhi way of celebrating it in great style and splendour as also the various different ways in which the boy and girl go about impressing on their families about their choice forms the core of the book. Both families have their own characters be it Ananya’s (the girl) super studious brother or the boy’s retired father. Both have to convince each others families of their choices and this is where the fun part of the story lies. Like Kai Po Che, another movie adapted from a novel by Mr. The girl is a typical generation Y Southie who has a penchant for non-veg and the like. 2 States is based on a novel by Chetan Bhagat, so it’s not surprising that the film has a novelistic texture and pace. The boy is a typical North Indian guy with loads of education and class. A few meetings later they both fall in love with each other, the only problem being him from the North & her from the South. This is the very essence of this book that traces its way back to IIM where the protagonists of the story meet. Movies of these days which have a strong dose of comedy sprinkled by largesse of love and family drama with a bit of rona-dhona thrown in for good measure. In the true sense CB had proclaimed that he was writing a book meant to be made into a typical Hindi movie. The book, 2 States – The Story of my Marriage, lives up to what we have come to expect from the Chetan Bhagat stable. Book Review – 2 States: The story of my marriage – Chetan Bhagat (CB)
