Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare

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.

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.

The movie left us utterly disappointed due to its lack of an engaging story, poor scriptwriting, and an unrealistic portrayal of hostel life that deviated greatly from reality, resulting in frustration and even headaches after watching it. Despite the overwhelming promotion and hype, the only redeeming aspect was the commendable performances by the actors, leading me to grant it a 5-star rating solely for their efforts. Nonetheless, the movie failed to meet expectations and fell short of the mark.

In conclusion, while the movie had its moments of brilliance in the form of impressive performances, it fell short of expectations due to its weak script and unrealistic depiction of hostel life. The marketing hype only added to our disappointment, leaving us hoping for a better cinematic experience in the future.

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.)

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.
