The actor's second innings has seen some really good performances from Bobby, who is now being cultified by the Twitter handle Bobbywood, even if those performances are often lost in forgettable movies. The performances are quite an asset, though, with Bobby Deol ending up being the most memorable part. I believe he was a standin for Tommy Lee Jones' sheriff in No Country for Old Men but the movie never gives him a proper closure for his subplot. The track involving the honest cop Suresh Rathi (Raj Arjun) felt important to the plotline.

On one hand, the finale did live upto the grim tone of the movie, but on the other hand, the departures of certain crucial characters felt more shocking than justified. The ending, just like the film, was quite divisive for me. Character gets unexpectedly shot down, though after a point, you can figure out the pattern when and where it will happen. She also seems to lose her initial feistiness in the final scenes, especially when she faces Daghar face to face. Never mind, this ends up with two more innocent characters being murdered as a result. Or later in the film, during the hotel room scene, where she squabbles with an injured Ashu over a petty issue right when he warns her Dagar is out there to kill them. Like uploading a video of her announcing her marriage online despite knowing her family might kill her. However, as the movie proceeds, I don't know whether it was intended or not, but that courage soon morphs into foolhardiness that could be blamed on her privileged upbringing. I liked at first how she is the gutsier one in the relationship, refusing to bow down to chauvinistic displays from others and take sh*t from snarky cops and her own boyfriend. There are also some character traits that leave you baffled.

'Cos by the time the movie gets over its third act, you might ask what the whole deal was before. The main reason is that by keeping Ansu away from Jyoti for that long offers us very less time to understand why they are even together in the first place. Still, enough intensity to keep you hooked.īut when the movie veers away from this murderous dynamic between Dagar and our lovebirds, Love Hostel tends to lose its momentum, especially when it focuses the whole track involving Ashu and his last assignment. He is someone considered dead by the police, yet has no qualms in showing his face in the public and even carrying out mass murders. There are moments of tension when Dagar chases after the lead couple, though the collateral damage that comes in the way makes things a tad unbelievable. Shanker Raman carries forward the nihilism of his previous movie, the underrated Gurgaon, here but the result is quite a mixed bag. It is a strange film in the sense that the movie achieves what it wants to be - a bleak film with a tantalising promise of a sliver of a happy ending and possible retributions, with Clinton Cerejo's score embracing and enhancing the darkness. And that's annoying!īut if you are in a mood for a grim thriller, then Love Hostel works to some extent. So if you are more curious to know how these accommodations work for the lovelorn couples, this movie might only offer a fleeting glimpse. The title might sound as if this is some romcom, but not only is the feeling misleading, but even the setup of the 'Love Hostel' in the film gets merely minutes' of screentime. Love Hostel is a pretty grim affair right from the start when Dagar kills a runaway couple by hanging them from the tree. The court sends them to a week's stay in 'Love Hostel', a government safe house that offers protective stay for such eloping couples till their families accept them. Jyoti had run away with Ashu a couple of days before her marriage to another man, and they seek court protection for their marital union. His new targets are Jyoti Dilawar (Sanya Malhotra) a higher caste Hindu girl and her Muslim boyfriend Ashu Shokeen (Vikrant Massey). Viraj Singh Dagar (Bobby Deol) is a merciless assassin in Haryana who seeks out and kills runaway inter-caste couples.

Imagine the philosophical tone of the third act replaced by even more grimness and bleakness. Imagine the fearsome remorseless Anton Chigurh being turned into a rabid Hindu bigot with an unswerving accuracy for bullets (unless when it comes to the main leads). Imagine the drug money being replaced by the theme of honour killing. Love Hostel Movie Review: Imagine Coen Bros' classic No Country for Old Men but set in the hinterlands of Haryana.
