Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare

This is called as simple fun , and it delivers you a value for money for fun especially for hostel boys.

1. They wanted create some good humor and they have created it ,

2 . Starting they created some intense , which made everyone confuse , but in the 2nd half it lost the intensity and there was no proper depth in the story , and it made me boring .

3. Cameo were not used properly I think , it was sudden and new experience , it was literally a ok experience

4. But everyone showed their dedication towards the movie , what holds you sit and watch the movie is their acting , and I am impressed by each and every newcomer acting .

5. It may be the worst movie for some , it may be fun for some , but if u want some fun like kirik party , u can add it to your list.

Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare is a film about filming a 5mins short film over one night, as the amateur hostel boys find themselves in situations they never prepared for. The short film's core plot is about hostel warden's suicide, alleging the hostelites and focuses on them disposing the body to clear their names. What follows is mad cap entertainment which relies too much on the characters being extremely talkative while aided by actually well written characters and acts that are straight up hilarious.

This is what one calls style over substance, infact there is barely any substance and kudos to the newbie team to turn it into their strength. The lack of structured narrative, takes time to register. Infact for me the entire first half barring the initial scenes was bland and mostly saved by 3 characters who play the seniors. The humor there is genuine and the film truly comes alive during the interval reveal. The film's unique style succeeds in keeping one hooked to the proceedings.

It is the second half where it goes berserk. For all those times, the narrative dips, it is made up for with the commitment to stick to dark humor. Sadly, none of the cameos don't work at all. While, Rishab Shetty, Pawan Kumar cameos were painful to watch as it barely contributed anything than create slight confusion. Diganth's cameo was somewhat fine though again wasted. Ramya's footage throughout the second half with Diganth's character explaining why wasn't as hilarious as they intended it to be.

But again, the efforts have to be lauded. There is an abrupt end and a sequel's tease but more importantly there is Appu too. I have to admit, this film is an acquired taste, definitely not something I would immediately revisit. Yet, I wouldn't mind a standalone film featuring the three seniors, which again can make up for a craziest stoner film.

After an offbeat start, the first half of Hostel Hudugaru is absolutely hilarious. The character of Genie is genuinely one of the funniest characters I have seen, and the 'boys' dynamic is brilliant, with several gut busting lines that are delivered so well.

The interval twist is unexpected, but after the interval is where the film takes a dip in quality.

Whereas in the first half the meta comedy of the cameraman worked really well, in the second half they show the editor making comments which takes you out of the film's world. Furthermore, there are unnecessary shots of random woman dispersed throughout as that is what the 'editor' thinks will hook the audience. It detracts from the momentum after a very funny joke or a shocking moment.

However, the bad second half has a decent conclusion.

I rate this 5.5, rounded to 6, purely because the first half was absolutely brilliant.

(Furthermore, the camera style is great, and suits the film really well.)

If I was Ramya, I too would have filed a case against the team!

The only good things about the cinema are the cinematography, editing and performances. Everything else is a minus, which includes, story, screenplay, music, sense, cameo by renowned actors and the list goes on.

The director should be applauded for his amazing marketing ability than the story-telling ability. He understands that today's youthiyaas are chutiyaas, who buy everything that is packaged well.

Good promos, self-trolling, superstars' engagement, liqour, weed are enough to bring a set of irresponsible people to theatres. Objectifying women (Ramya is made the brand ambassador for this), making weed and alcohol usage look cool among college going boys are frustrating to watch with families.

I am not even kidding when I say that at least 7,8 guys (not uncles.. guys) left during interval and didn't return.

Last week, the team's gimmick was "Mass bunk day" campaign. Slowly, students will start "make weed legal" campaign too.

It's sad that such horrible cinemas are being called the trend setters. If this is the trend that one wants to set, good luck with the new "Udta Karnataka!".

Such a creative storytelling with liberties that few kannada filmmakers take. Very refreshing to see such movies coming out. Watch this without any specific biases.

Weekend at Bernie's meets Dude Where's my car. It almost feels like the movie was written by someone who's high and will be enjoyed more if you're high. A cast of mostly new actors, with so many unique characters that is not common in Kannada Cinema. There are a handful of cringe moments, but the creativity of the rest of the movie carries it quite well. Minor story arcs and drama in small moments throughout the movie and an artistic representation of hostel life makes this movie standout from the crowd.
