Love Hostel

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.

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.

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.

Acting, setup & direction is really good but the story has so many plotholes that it becomes unbearable in the end. I was praying the leads get killed before anybody else gets killed.

Bobby Deol looks good but murders everywhere, like in a Baraat, hotel, lawyers home - no media, no attention, seriously?? His character ate up all the suspense & tension built before. Why is he literally killing everything that moves!!!!

The girl is a CA in Delhi but they don't plan to elope to other city, rather stay in a safehouse inaugurated by her own Grandmom, who is supposed to be an MLA!!

They're themselves running for their lives but piling up new people like the guy's mom and her sister. What sort of stupidity is this yaar??

The way the couple was fighting like kids, had immature eloping plan or ran away despite one is a CA & other is a shopkeeper involved with criminal activities- really makes you think what you're trying to glorify for upcoming generations!

After hearing some positive reviews I sat to watch the new Zee5 release Love Hostel, but after fishing the film I'll say I'm totally disappointed. The only good thing is that it's very engaging, you'll not bore for one moment and you'll love our two leads and that's it. Now, there is absolutely nothing new in terms of story, the same old story that we all have seen from childhood.

The only difference is that they've added too much blood and violence in it & that's also not new as this is now trending. In today's time, a strong villain is not just enough to make a good film, there should be some reasons for their doings. That's the reason I didn't like any of the villainous character. Also some scenes were disturbing to watch. And lastly the climax converted the film from a below average to a bad film.

So finally, I'll not recommend this movie.

Available on Zee5.
