Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare

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.

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.)

If I was Ramya, I too would have filed a case against the team!

The only good things about the cinema are the cinematography, editing and performances. Everything else is a minus, which includes, story, screenplay, music, sense, cameo by renowned actors and the list goes on.

The director should be applauded for his amazing marketing ability than the story-telling ability. He understands that today's youthiyaas are chutiyaas, who buy everything that is packaged well.

Good promos, self-trolling, superstars' engagement, liqour, weed are enough to bring a set of irresponsible people to theatres. Objectifying women (Ramya is made the brand ambassador for this), making weed and alcohol usage look cool among college going boys are frustrating to watch with families.

I am not even kidding when I say that at least 7,8 guys (not uncles.. guys) left during interval and didn't return.

Last week, the team's gimmick was "Mass bunk day" campaign. Slowly, students will start "make weed legal" campaign too.

It's sad that such horrible cinemas are being called the trend setters. If this is the trend that one wants to set, good luck with the new "Udta Karnataka!".

First of all, it is a youth movie made only for entertainment. It is creative in terms of narration, not in terms of story or in any other aspect.

It is made only for entertainment and delivers in that way.

It is not a 3-idiots or Kirik Party kind of story oriented movie.

There are many things going its way. Mainly, it is based on a bunch of characters and all of them are important in their own way, there is no single Protagonist. So, you just need to get involved in it.

Music is nice and complements the story. There is no main "love track" and movie doesn't get diverted in that way. Though all actors are new, they have delivered.

Promotion is a double edged sword. Though the movie got recognition because of so many celebrity actors, they are pulled in only for the sake of promotion. So, promotion has worked here.

On the other hand. We might feel these characters are just a waste and won't contribute to story apart from a bit of comical tough.

Anyhow, we can surely ignore drawbacks and enjoy the move for what it is. It surely tickles.funnybone unlike some senseless high octane masala movies.

If you are looking for a Movie which will just be filled with Fun in every frame,this is the Perfect movie for you.

After a long time such a Movie has come which is close to the reality of hostellers and makes you connect even if you are not a hosteller.

The first half is great👍 and some of the shots are exceptional like showing every hostel room in one shot and the the drone type shot of FU.

The second half has only fun with a nice ending. The acting of each hosteller was good, especially the three seniors😂.

Such experimental films are needed in Cinema to showcase new ideas and talents. Great film👍
