Music of 2 States – a film by producers Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar is finally out. The six energetic songs would surely be loved by the youth as the entire film is based on their generation love. Actors Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have done absolute justice to the film is something that we can make out from the trailer. Here is the music review for 2 States:

The first one is Offo sung by Aditi Singh Sharma and Amitabh Bhattacharya. The beats of this song are wonderful and one would like to shake a leg or two on it. Next is Locha-E-Ulfat, which has been sung by Benny Dayal. It is a cute number that shows Arjun gradually falling in love with Alia on the silver screen. These two songs are more youth centric and teenagers of today might really love them. Following this we have Mast Magan, a duet by Arijit Singh and Chinmayi Sripada. It is a soulful song and the music might touch your heart. Up next is Iski Uski sung by Akriti Kakar and Shahid Mallya. This is one of those slow songs, which you may like depending on the situation.  Then we have Chaandaniya, which has been sung by K. Mohan and Yashita Sharma. It is not so strong as far as music is concerned. However, certain parts in the song have been really done well. Lastly there is Hulla Re sung by Shankar and Siddharth Mahadevan and Rasika Shekhar. It has a Punjabi theme and includes typical Punjabi sounds such as the dhol drums, as well as cool Punjabi lyrics. It will definitely become the next favourite number for Punjabi weddings.

In all, the soundtrack to 2 States is an exciting one. The movie has fun numbers that you would not mind humming now and then. You can watch 2 States – co-produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar in your nearest theatres from 18^th April this year!

Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor share a sizzling chemistry in Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar's 2 States!

Both are newbie actors of Bollywood who started their respective careers in the industry with a bang. Both hail from a family with a strong filmy background, yet did not let that be an advantage while entering the industry. Whatever they have achieved so far is all because of their own hard work and talent. We are talking about none other than the star kids Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor. Alia is 2 films old in Bollywood with hits like Student Of The Year and Highway, whereas Arjun is 3 films old with power-packed performances in movies like Ishaqzaade, Aurangzeb, and Gunday. They are now coming together for a film, which is a screen adaptation of the English novel 2 States written by Chetan Bhagat. Filmmakers Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar are co-producing the film under their respective banners. Debutant Abhishek Varman has directed this movie, wherein Alia and Arjun play the couple deeply in love.

The twist in the story of 2 States is that the male lead is a north Indian whereas the female lead is a south Indian. We being Indians very well know about this ancient rapport that the North Indians and South Indians share with each other. They cannot tolerate each other at all and are at constant argument over petty issues. Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar are happy that Abhishek Varman has maintained the authenticity of the story of the book while making the film. Coming back to Alia and Arjun as a couple in 2 States, they fall in love with each other when they meet at IIM Ahmedabad, where they study. Despite of coming from different cultures, the chemistry between the two is mind-blowing in the film. They have successfully managed to sizzle together onscreen, which can be clearly seen in the trailer. The two have also locked lips in the movie, which adds the necessary sensuousness to their reel relationship.

This Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar co-produced film 2 States releases on 18^th April this year!

Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar’s ‘2 States’ to turn heads!

Though the film is a screen adaptation of a book that author Chetan Bhagat wrote based on his real life love story, ‘2 States’ promises to turn heads. Releasing this year, the film has been beautifully done, which portrays the story of the book authentically. Co-produced by film makers SajidNadiadwala and Karan Johar, 2 States might just be an adaptation, but the fresh cast of the movie might truly prove to be a wonderful advantage for the film. Newcomers Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor are playing the lead roles in the film, which debutant Abhishek Varman is directing. While Arjun plays the north Indian boy Krishh Malhotra, Alia plays his love interest Ananya Swaminathan, who is a south Indian girl. The film is all about their love and attempts to convince their culturally different families to agree to their marriage.

Talking about the fresh cast of 2 States, a source said, “Adaptation of this Chetan Bhagat book has been interestingly mounted by Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar. Moreover Arjun Kapoor’s first time pairing with Alia Bhatt should make heads turn too.” Both Arjun and Alia are young as well as new to the film industry as they are just a couple of films old. To your surprise, these new talents have bagged too many roles for them this year. Alia will be soon seen in the Imtiaz Ali produced, directed, as well as written road film Highway, followed by 2 States. An insider informs, “Arjun would have the most eventful 2014 as he would be seen in Gunday, 2 States, Finding Fanny Fernandez, and Tevar. What makes his stint in Bollywood further interesting is the fact that each of these films belongs to different genres.”  This means that both the newbie actors are enjoying their part of success in Bollwood already, which is a good sign for the future of Indian cinema.

Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar co-produced 2 States is slated to release on 18^th April this year!

Arjun Kapoor relates himself to his character in the Sajid Nadiadwala-Karan Johar co-produced ‘2 States’!

Having played the rough and rowdy guy, who played with guns in his previous two films, actor Arjun Kapoor is now going to be featured as someone very calm and sober. His upcoming romantic film opposite newcomer Alia Bhatt, which is a screen adaptation of the book written by author Chetan Bhagat 2 States, is going to prove a wonderful project. Being co-produced by film makers SajidNadiadwala and Karan Johar, 2 States is slated to release on 18^th April, 2014. Based completely on Chetan’s novel with the same name, which also explains the author’s real life love story, the movie is being directed by debutant director Abhishek Varman. The best part is that the director has chosen not to tamper with the original story of the book.

Being portrayed as a very simple and common man kind of guy, Arjun Kapoor relates himself to his character in the Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar co-produced 2 States. Talking about his role in the movie, where the first time he is not playing the violent and arrogant young spoilt boy, Arjun said, “I have never played a contemporary boy before. I have been either gun-toting or guns have been around me. But this is a character that I relate to personally – he is not a geek, but when he fall in love, he becomes this very goofy guy from this very assured human being. In that sense, the love story appealed to me, the fact that I am not playing this cocky, suave guy. It is one of the closest characters to me that I have chosen. This is something I could really relate to. My family is Punjabi, so I know this stereotypical thought process exists – ‘Achha, tu Gujarati se pyaar karta hai?’ which is common.”

Sajid Nadiadwala was the one, who had liked the story of ChetanBhagat’s 2 States and bought the rights for it, thereby deciding to make it into a film with Karan Johar!
