This book has been adapted into a movie of the same name, starring Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, and the movie has also received many accolades, just like the book. If reading isn't your thing, the movie is definitely worth a watch. However, I highly recommend immersing yourself in the book, as it offers a depth and intimacy that the movie can't replicate. This book is so addictive that once you start reading, you'll be hooked! What makes "2 States" even more special is that it's based on the true story of Chetan Bhagat's own life and it adds all the more reason to read it.
