    Nice, if you have time.

    Very good screenplay, the characters were defined, and the dialogues could be improved.

    A lot of cussing and bad words, strictly A-rated, and has a lot of adult content

    The actors did their job perfectly, and overall acting was close to reality.

    Chittapan acting vera level coupled with Ahaana's beauty and Boys, Girls Hostel life were drawn distinctive.

    Had love, fun, hatred, wit, and touching lines with references at the climax were icing on the cake, although not emotional.

    Characters were developed so damn great, I could relate with BBT Sheldon being a socially awkward person at the beginning and nice, polite gentleman at the end.

    Senthil dialogues were on point, and deep when it comes to advice, and Pandian did a good job with his presence and jokes made me choke my tea.

    Definitely, a series to put your time on, wouldn't disappoint you.

    Period.

    Skip First 2 Episodes

    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.

    This Tamil Adaptation is likeable

    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.

    You will either LOVE or hate it

    Me and my roommate binged watched this entire series. Running for five episodes with 30 minutes each,series felt like a movie watch.

    But my roommate didn't connect with the characters at all,I too felt a lag in the first two episodes but the last three episodes were just so engrossing,reminded me so much of my hostel and college.

    Guess this show would be on either extremes,you connect with it or have a hatred towards it like my roommate.

    Coming to the performances,the girls were just brilliant,Ahana reminded me of my days in Delhi where I struggled to fit in and felt like a outsider.

    Senthil was just relatable,looking forward to him and Pandi's comeback in the next season.

    Can't wait for Season 2

    ENGGA HOSTEL comes as a breathe of fresh air in the Tamil OTT space which is crowded with dark content of mostly crime.

    I have consumed a lot of YouTube content based on college and school but the makers of the series seem to have made a conscious decision to not replicate them.

    Each character is fleshed out in much detail but since there were so many characters the screen time could have been more, the most subtle but beautiful changes were of Chang, each episode he has very less screen space but manages to grow as a character throughout, his loyalty towards Chithappu and also mocking him to change we're subtle and elegant.

    Writing and Direction were just brilliant along with the Edit and Music.

    First 2 episodes felt flat but the other episodes compensated for it big time.

    Season 2 promises a lot.
