Review of Love Hostel

Love Hostel (2022)
7/10
Superior product to Dhadak !
25 February 2022
The concept of this film is ages old and similar to Dhadak (2018). So you can say that this film is a simple straightforward one with an ending you can predict if you have watched these honor killing films. However, what makes it a superior product to Dhadak are :-

1. Raw feel to the film and interesting screenplay. Good capture of Haryana and typical high class families that live there.

2. No over dramatization. Even in a scene when Vikrant sees his dead mother , there is no over dramatization with him crying like a mad broken person or some "aaaaaa" music playing in the background. This is a good thing.

3. Bobby deol's terrific performance as a cold blooded assassin who thinks 0 times before shooting anyone , Girl or boy, dead. I think we haven't seen a cold blooded assassin like him in recent times. Sanya too shines as a strong girl who doesn't fear men .

4. No dances . Only two beautiful songs playing in thr background as the film progresses that's it.

Now this film is definitely not perfect:-

1. Bobby's weird accent got my skin crawling and it's not a positive at all. Somehow I wanted him to just not talk at all (though he has very little djalogues ).

2. The police angle! Police chasing Bobby where did they disappear suddenly in the end?

3. No novelty to the story line. No twist nothing! I was expecting a twist at least one but there is none.

Overall, just a good one time watch. Had it not been for the positives I mentioned this film would have been no more than a 2 star out of 10.
