Reviewed by samyuktha R. raman. product Posted on: 27/04/2012

2 states seems to fit the bhagat bill yet again. In tandem with the precedent triple escapades of five point someone, one night @ the call centre and the three mistakes of my life,
Two states too is sprinkled with a dollop of all the quintessential elements like light hearted humor, cheesy boy girl saga besotted with each other, the apposite ambience in a B-school classroom to the more trivial ones that encompass the description of the milieu of mylapore. On the flip side of the coin the more draconian IT sector profession, too is the butt of chetan’s hilarity. Sans these digression, chetan is at his peak at what he does the best.
Give a rather insightful description of the aforesaid boy-girl saga drizzling it with the customary mush to brew the stew. This occupies the centre stage and krish and ananya bask in the limelight.
Moving on, enter the antagonists from both the side of the diameter (read, the parents) who don’t approve their prospective in-laws. And krish too shares a rather a acrid relationship with his dad, and their rapport is frosty.
These tribulations pump up the narrative.
Also, the plot is quite lopsided as it primarily involves patching up the acid laced relationship. Perhaps, chetan could have refrained from making a dig at tamilians, their accent and even the physique.
Perchance, the novel may land up on a decent 7 on a scale of ten.
