Love Hostel

My Rating : 2/10.

Why are movies like this even made? There's nothing going for this movie, while it is directed well in some parts the storyline is nothing unique and totally bland.

Lacks substance and while the actors have done their job for their pay check, the writers have absolutely missed the mark on this and just filled it with a one-dimensional villain shooting everyone and everything in sight.

Very disappointing.

Javier bardem had excellent lines .. for example while giving to coin to the shop keeper , his dilouges were awesome.. bobby deol on the other hand would just smile sometimes , he had few lines at the end that were okay ... didn't impress a lot as compared to No country for old men .. the movie was on the similar canvas ... and lacked substance.

All the badassery and headshots aside, this is a pretty depressing series and the message it is trying to convey doesn't come through clean.

Has a few well acted brilliant moments.

Anti climatic vague and plagiarised. Looks like someone with deep pockets and an itch to get into movie production hired whatever he could lay hands on and came up with this dud. It's fast but that's the only thing that lets you overcome the stupidity.

Set against the khap panchayat versus inter religion marriages the movie sets the pace from the very first frame and maintains it till the very end

Bobby Deol is the cold blooded executer of the Khap Panchayat orders who doesn't blink an eye lid to pull a trigger is after a Jat-Muslim couple played by Vikrant Massey and Sanya Malhotra who have eloped and got married. This is majorly is the plot of the movie.

The movie keeps things raw, real and unapologetic. It doesn't fall into the typical Bollywood traps and that's what makes it different from the rest of the movies made on this subject. You might be reminded of Love Sex and Dhokha though on occasions which tackled a similar subject. It will shock you on occasions and even make you uncomfortable which a movie on such subject should.

The direction is mostly good and doesn't slip much. Performances wise Vikrant is reliable as always and Sanya is average. Her character is a bit half baked compared to others and that hampers her performance. But the star of the show is Bobby Deol who delivers a knockout performance as the cold blooded killer and you would like to see more of him on screen.

It's definitely not a masterpiece but a good watch. Don't expect a typical Bollywood thriller though.
