How 2 States Entered The 100 Crore Club?

Hats off to 2 States to make it to the 100 crore club. Here is our take why!

If Bollywood has set a parameter for sieving the blockbusters from the hits, it is the esteemed 100 crore club. For the unacquainted, the club is a symbol of being so high at the top that only another giant can be your neighbor. 2 States has swept itself into the esteemed club and sealed its position. The social accolade the movie boasts is of being the first B town flick with a newbie star cast to make it the rank.

Of course, the film saw amazing reception, reviews, and popularity but underlying reasons too make this film a wow wonder. Here are our reasons why 2 States secured its place in the 100 crore club.

The real on reel:

 The script of 2 States was no surprise for us. Most viewers have read Chetan Bhagat’s book way back. What impressed us was that the reel scenes were replicas of what we face today. For Gen Y, love has crossed the demarcation called community and caste ages back. Most couples today fall in love outside their communities and have a hilarious courtship exploring the ouchs of an Iyer or the perks of being Punjabi. Young India falls in love without the casteism factors working. And that is what 2 States revealed!

Guy not so perfect, Girl still hot:

The real life replica does not end here. The hero of the plot is handsome but in an understated way. He is not drop dead gorgeous but a simpleton who knows to accept being a moron. Yet he gets the best girl. That is what we see in real. Not so perfect guys married or hitched to perfect beauties. That is a reality check and 2 States revealed that up close.

No holds bar romance:

Pick one couple from 2014 that does not indulge in love games and we could swallow a monkey! 2 States brought to screen the real romance that India swears by. The modern coochy cooing has moved away from the bushes to real time showers that turn the romantics on. 2 States revealed the nuances of romance in true measure and wowed us with its frankness. Of course, this led to more box office business and ultimately swung the flick to the 100 crore club.

From the technical point of view, having a star cast as wow as Arjun Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amrita Singh, Ronit Roy, and others was another reason why the fortune of the flick went high up. Amazing performances, superb music score and the wow locations (the real IIT Kharagpur campus, that was) made up for further reasons to relegate the fate of the film to the up market 100 crore sector. Go catch up 2 States–again!! We raise a toast.
