Films make us believe that college life is absolutely fun. Parties, college romances, lifelong friendships, competitions, protests, hostel stories. They made us romanticise it all!
But Nithin Krishnamurthy’s Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare takes the most insane take on hostel life. Set within the walls of a boys’ hostel, this thrilling tale unravels throughout one unforgettable night.
This Kannada language film doesn’t centre around a single lead character; instead, it captures the wild, chaotic lives of a group of college boys. In a sense, the hostel itself becomes the true protagonist. Among the students is Ajith, an aspiring filmmaker, whose script suddenly feels unsettlingly real when the hostel warden is found dead with a suicide note naming a bunch of students. Though the students initially panic, their fear is short-lived.
From that point, the story unfolds as a blend of comedy and thrilling suspense, drawing viewers, especially those with hostel memories, into a whirlwind of nostalgia and excitement.
Views are in for a treat when the Kantara actor and director, Rishabh Shetty makes a cameo in the film as one of the drunk seniors that sneak into the hostel at night.
Catchy songs, impressive camera work, spot-on humour, visually stunning- this film picks up the pace and maintains it throughout without boring the viewers even for a moment.
If you’re in the mood for a fun, chaotic film that captures the wild energy and youthful spirit of college hostel life, Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare is the perfect weekend pick. Get ready for a nostalgia trip—stream it now on Zee5!
