Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare

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.

It's not great as claimed You enjoy the movie there is no doubt about but it doesn't satisfy / conclude Could have been best for short movie or comedy web series.

--------------- Good ---------------- Story telling

One liner dailogues

Comedy

Music

Acting

Screenplay

------------- Bad ------------- Some what's feels dragged out to much

no plot

No end goal / message. (May end goal- director wanted prove its worst movie ever made as claimed on trailer / posters )

None of the guest appearance charcters make impact to story / movie it jus feels like they wanted to be part of it.

Above is only my view.

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.)

Positive aspects of the film is Cinematography, background score and editing... everything else is rubbish!

Songs, screenplay and story is very week, we can't get connected to the charecters,after 1st half we can clearly notice the shortage of ideas with the director.

Usually before going to the cinemas, I read the reviews and watch YouTube videos. Many people were like lauding this film, so I went to theatre along with my friends. Most of the people even my friends walked out of theatre before intermission itself.

It's only a one time watch in the weekend not to expect much from this film.
