Hindi cinema's approach to inter state relationships follows a remarkably consistent pattern. The guy is usually from north or west and the girl is invariably from south or east.
The data is striking: 2 States (Punjabi-Tamil), Chennai Express (Punjabi-Tamil), Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani (Punjabi-Bengali), Vicky Donor (Punjabi-Bengali), Param Sundari (Delhi-Malayalam).
The exceptions are rare but those films aren't as popular as the main stereotypical pairing. Take Mr. and Mrs. Iyer for example (Tamil Brahmin woman, Bengali Muslim man). Or, Raanjhanaa's Tamil Brahmin man and Muslim lady pairing operated outside the standard matrix.
