2
States
was
one
of
the
biggest
hits
in
Bollywood
in
2014.
The
film
which
marked
the
debut
of
director
Abhishek
Varman
was
loved
by
both
the
audience
and
the
critics.
The
film
was
based
on
the
novel
2
States
which
was
written
by
Chetan
Bhagat
based
on
his
real
life
incidents,
he
even
penned
the
screenplay
of
the
movie
which
kept
the
audience
engrossed
till
the
very
end
of
the
movie.
Starring
Arjun
Kapoor
and
Ali
Bhatt
in
lead
roles,
the
film
told
the
story
of
two
IIM
students
who
fell
in
love
with
each
other
but
the
fact
that
they
from
different
ethnic
background
caused
a
few
problems.
How
the
couple
overcome
the
hurdles,
convince
the
family
and
marry
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
The
film
was
a
small
budget
movie
produced
by
Dharma
Productions,
Karan
Johar
but
when
it
came
to
Box
Office
collections
the
film
minted
in
crores.
The
lifetime
collections
of
the
movie
was
more
than
Rs
100
crores.
This
year
when
the
Filmfare
Awards
2015
nominations
were
announced
we
expected
PK
to
be
dominating
for
the
movie
was
loved
by
all
making
it
gross
over
Rs
650
crores
at
the
Box
Office.
But
much
to
the
shock
of
all
2
States
was
dominating,
yes
the
film
is
nominated
in
seven
categories
including
the
Best
Film
category.
One
never
expected
the
film
to
receive
so
much
attention,
we
agree
the
movie
was
good
but
the
best?
2
States
has
got
a
nomination
in
almost
all
categories.
This
year,
the
major
stars
were
2
States,
Queen,
PK,
Mary
Kom
and
Haider
but
from
the
looks
of
the
nomination
list,
looks
like
2
States
may
just
beat
Haider
and
win
it
all.
