Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare

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.

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.

First of all, it is a youth movie made only for entertainment. It is creative in terms of narration, not in terms of story or in any other aspect.

It is made only for entertainment and delivers in that way.

It is not a 3-idiots or Kirik Party kind of story oriented movie.

There are many things going its way. Mainly, it is based on a bunch of characters and all of them are important in their own way, there is no single Protagonist. So, you just need to get involved in it.

Music is nice and complements the story. There is no main "love track" and movie doesn't get diverted in that way. Though all actors are new, they have delivered.

Promotion is a double edged sword. Though the movie got recognition because of so many celebrity actors, they are pulled in only for the sake of promotion. So, promotion has worked here.

On the other hand. We might feel these characters are just a waste and won't contribute to story apart from a bit of comical tough.

Anyhow, we can surely ignore drawbacks and enjoy the move for what it is. It surely tickles.funnybone unlike some senseless high octane masala movies.

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.

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!".
