Engga Hostel is a adult comedy genre web series which launches TVF's tamil debut. The series stars a complete set of new actors.
Positives:
This series is strictly for those who like American Sitcoms. For regular cinema go-ers this series will not work.
The actors performance is delightful and they are very convincing as well as a promising debuts from the new comers
A very good production value from Prime Video
This is a technically strong series
Sendhil character's writing and acting is the biggest positive for this series
Negatives:
Repetative scenes Chittapu character is extremely annoying.
Poor direction Humor could have worked well The creators are stuck in a complex whether to make it a pure adult comedy or not which makes most scenes flat
Verdict:
A watchable fun series which could have been better. Hostel Daze is btr but this ain't bad.
Rating: 3/5.

I almost gave up on this show and called it quits but one my friends insisted me to watch the 3rd episode so I gave the show a second chance 2 days later and it was like a completely different show.
The characters started developing very well from the 3rd episode and reached a well written finale,don't know why they couldn't follow the same flow in the first two episodes.
First two episodes were so badly written with an excellent cast at hand,the girls ragging and proposing to another girl was a complete snooze fest,ragging was too stretched out & felt tiring to a point that I had to fast forward. On comparison the second episode was better but not on par with the last 3 episodes.
If you want to watch this series, skip the first two episodes,you wouldn't be missing much.

Took me a lot of time to finish Episode 1,had to pause start and again pause since I could not connect initially. Had the same problem in Episode 2 but the Girls Hostel saved it.
The main problem I found with the first 2 episodes were that they concentrated more on ragging and porn than the actual characters. There is so much potential in each and every character, that's good writing on the characters but their development was shunted by ragging and porn.
But Episodes 3 4 5 were brilliant, it concentrated more on the characters rather than following the troupes of love, birthday and exams, the screenplay brilliantly used the above troupes to develop the characters.
I would go with 8/10.

I have watched all 3 seasons of Hindi Hostel Daze and was very doubtful about the Tamil adaptation because Hostel Daze is one of TVF's weakest shows, it has gone from bad to worse to worst with every season.
Engga Hostel begins on the same note like Hostel Daze with a concentration more on Episodic treatment rather than focusing on the characters which we will be rooting for. Ragging and Porn was overused but what i liked about the porn part was not showing anything explicitly but leaving it to the audience imagination and another impressive part was about showing the Girls discussions around Porn.
The Tamil version then completely diverged from the original content from Episode 3 onwards with fresh conflicts of Senthil Mosa Raja Chang and Chithappa which was so well written and executed.
Hopefully Season 2 stops focusing on mundane theme treatments which gets tiring after a point but carry forward these fresh conflicts and develop the characters more.

Episode 1 (6.5/10)
Started off well and ended well but the ragging scenes were too much.
Episode 2 (7.5/10) Too much focus on Ajay's identity, others identity was just brushed upon but not showing porn and having a discussion around it is really commendable especially the Girls discussion.
Episode 3 (10/10) Best episode of the series, started off & progressed as very cliched romance but the twist was brilliant with a superb ending 👏.
Episode 4 (9/10) Highly entertaining episode with characters developing even more, this episode had fun, emotions and very relatable situations 👌.
Episode 5 (9.5/10) A superb finale with well played out conflicts that sets the tone for Season 2 👍.
Special Mention : The character arc of Chang was subtle and brilliantly done, so much characters vying to get our attention, credits to the Writers and Director for this 🙌.
