Hostel Daze is based in an exclusive engineering college where students from disparate families fantasizing of a rosy campus life end up with just the boy’s attention, the dorm life and the struggles with academics, womenfolk, sexuality, and the solving other differences with each other.
The protagonists Jaat, Ankit, and Chirag are roommates in the most unlikely of circumstances. They get through hazing, exams, exchange dating classes with their senior counterpart Jhantoo, everyone wants to be relevant.
TVF has always been on the top of its game when it comes to telling stories relevant to Gen-X and family viewers.
In a largely predictable plot, they however fall short of providing any revived viewpoint to college life and its intricacies.
The natural performances, the eccentric personalities, the sporadically good writing keeps you engaged, but it does little to mask an otherwise unconvincing narrative.
Between pornography, masturbation, and dating advice; there is hardly anything else that story has to offer.
Shubham Gaur is brilliant as usual with his peculiar accent. Luv as Chirag is a stereotypical nerd, Adarsh Gaurav as Ankit is perfect and Nikhil Vijay as Jhantoo has a great screen presence.
