One By Two is a 2014 Indian romantic comedy film directed by Devika Bhagat.[2] The film stars Abhay Deol and Preeti Desai in lead roles and follows the lives of two individuals, Amit (Deol) and Samara (Desai), living in Mumbai. Amit, stuck in a dead-end job and dealing with a recent breakup, finds himself drawn to Samara, a struggling dancer with aspirations of making it big. Their paths cross in unexpected ways as they navigate their individual struggles and search for meaning in their lives.[3]

One By Two was released on 31 January 2014 and played across approximately 500 screens in India, primarily in multiplexes.[4][5][6] The film received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, with criticism for its screenplay and lack of chemistry between the lead actors, but praise for the music and humor.[7] It emerged as a commercial failure at the box-office, grossing only ₹4 crore worldwide on a production budget of ₹15 crore.
