2 STATES

2 States is the soundtrack to the 2014 film of the same name directed by Abhishek Varman based on Chetan Bhagat's novel 2 States: The Story of My Marriage. Starring Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, the film produced by Dharma Productions and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. The film's soundtrack consisted of seven songs composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, who had recurringly composed for Dharma Productions' films, and had lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Varman wanted the trio to score the film in the first place in order to create a romantic album that "has soul and young energy" and have a longer shelf-life. The soundtrack was released by T-Series on 16 March 2014 to generally positive reviews from critics. Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy won Filmfare and IIFA awards for his work in the film, while the album itself received accolades in several ceremonies. The song "Mast Magan" enjoyed widespread commercial success, with other tracks being declared as chartbusters.
