2 States (2014)

2 States     Family Drama 8/10

So I have this coworker friend who I introduced Bollywood to, around the time I watched Bang Bang!  Now she is watching them more often than me, and so recommends them to me all the time.  She bought Diwale, so we could watch it together, and now has me watching 2 States.  She even read the book first, so basically she is amazing.  This film is pretty good too.  It's that real, awkward, wedding and family drama, especially poignant to India, but everyone can relate to it.  It's about how marriage is not just about two people in love, but about the uniting of two families and two cultures.

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)

 After the success of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham with the whole star studded cast, I broke down and watched this one, which I had been debating for a while because while I love all these actors, the plot seemed not cool.  Basically this movie is about adultery.  Yep, kinda hard to like this one.
