A 2BHK has roughly 900–1,200 sq ft of wall area. A 2-person painter team covers 400–600 sq ft per day with proper prep + primer + one coat. So 2 days = one full coat + touch-ups on already-primered walls.
This is fine for a home that was properly painted 1–2 years ago and just needs freshening. For a home last painted 4+ years ago, 2 days is not enough — book 4–5 days minimum.

If you have only 2 days before Diwali, prioritise by visibility to guests.
Cheap acrylic distemper (₹120–₹200 per litre) dries fast (2 hours between coats) and lets a painter squeeze a "full repaint" in 2 days — but it lasts only 1–2 years and rubs off with a wet cloth. Emulsion (₹300–₹500 per litre) lasts 4–6 years. Use emulsion for wet areas (kitchen, bath) and any wall that gets touched (behind sofa, corridors).
Solve24 painters give a per-sq-ft quote on WhatsApp with paint cost separated. A 2-day Diwali refresh for a 2BHK is ₹8,000–₹20,000. Commission-based apps typically bundle at ₹18,000–₹30,000 for the same 2-day scope.

A refresh yes — touch-ups + one coat on already-painted walls. A full 2-coat repaint after prep no — that needs 4–5 days. Any painter promising "full repaint 2 days" is cutting corners.
₹8,000–₹20,000 for a 2BHK depending on scope and paint quality. Emulsion paint is ₹300–₹500 per litre, distemper ₹120–₹200 per litre. Labour is ₹7–₹15 per sq ft.
By October 20 for a 2-day refresh. By October 15 for a 4–5 day full repaint. Later bookings mean 20–30% premium and painters may not commit to Diwali finish.
Acrylic distemper dries in 2 hours between coats but lasts only 1–2 years. Acrylic emulsion dries in 4–6 hours and lasts 4–6 years — better long-term choice.
Move heavy furniture 2 feet from walls and cover with plastic sheeting. Small items can go in the centre of the room, covered. A ₹500–₹1,000 helper for a day speeds this up.
