Javier bardem had excellent lines .. for example while giving to coin to the shop keeper , his dilouges were awesome.. bobby deol on the other hand would just smile sometimes , he had few lines at the end that were okay ... didn't impress a lot as compared to No country for old men .. the movie was on the similar canvas ... and lacked substance.

The same old story with new kind of violence that might appeal to some immature OTT audience.

Love Hostel (2022) :
Movie Review -
Not taking you way back to the 60s and 70s, but just remember those love stories and those formulas made in the 80s. Two love birds, madly in love with each other, are on the run to save themselves from the family members who are against their love. Sometimes it was an honour killing issue, sometimes a tragic ending, but as a whole, we know those formulas. In the 80s, we had 'Ek Duje Ke Liye', 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' and in the 90s, there was 'Dil' to show us the modern definition of love with the same old formulas. Then recently we had the sensational 'Sairat' (2016), directed by Nagraj Manjule, which copied the same syllabus to write a new book of realistic cinema. ZEE5's latest release, Love Hostel, is nothing else but the same old story with a modernised version of violence, while it also adds the mandatory abusive words and vulgarity for the OTT audience. IT has to be there. Maybe it's some condition, I don't know. Love Hostel was supposed to be a love story surrounded by dangerous conflict, but instead it became more of a crime thriller with extreme levels of violence.
The film is about love birds belonging to different casts. Don't bother guessing that one is Hindi and one is Muslim; it's too mainstream, I mean. In the first scene, we see Ashu (Vikrant Massey) and Jyoti (Sanya Malhotra) getting married. They have decided to spend the rest of their lives together, despite the disapproval of family members. The decision puts them in danger as they are now being hunted by Dagar (Bobby Deol), a ruthless mercenary who will stop at nothing until his mission (or social work, as he describes it) is completed. What happens when the newly married couple faces the merciless killer several times and who wins the race at the end? Find out all the answers in Love Hostel.
Love Hostel has Vikrant Massey playing a complex character. He isn't sure about leaving the bad business behind and taking a good life forward, and Vikrant showcases this confused and unstable character very well. Not only does he have well-trimmed hair and a beard, but his expressions also speak volumes. Sanya Malhotra looks gorgeous as a newly wedded bride, but what's more interesting is how she switches that happiness into fear. Watch out for those prey-hunting chase sequences where she gathers almost everything needed for the character. The film is truly boosted by Bobby Deol's ferocious performance. He has almost single-handedly brought this outmoded script to life by portraying a merciless killer in all-perfect manners. There is no combat, no mindless action, just a pure, gun-filled killing spree in which Bobby shines in every scene. Not a single scene passes without him impressing you with his dialogue and attitude. Remember his attitude from 'Badal' (2000) and 'Bicchu' (1999)? Love Hostel will take you back to those Bobby Deol days. The supporting cast looks okay, with Raj Arjun walking away with a few noticeable scenes. That's the problem. Why only a few?
Written by Shanker Raman, Mehak Jamal, and Yogi Singha, the storyline of Love Hostel has nothing new to offer. It has everything that you have seen many times, but somehow, Raman's screenplay keeps it interesting. The violence is too high and horrible, so it might leave a weak-hearted audience shocked, especially female audiences. The cinematography looks good as the action and chase sequences cover most of the runtime on different locations. Vivek Shah's camera work makes those frames look good, but he also spoils the quality with those horrendous close-up shots. With the runtime falling just short of two hours, Love Hostel never bores you. Additionally, it doesn't have those useless songs, and as we all know, an intense background score is always a better choice in the thriller genre. Shaker Raman's last directorial, 'Leila' (2019), was a forgettable affair, and I'm afraid Love Hostel will have the same fate. Love Hostel couldn't have gone anywhere with such a piece of writing, but let's not blame Raman. He at least tried something different with his characters.
Adding more greyness to the character works here, but one must acknowledge the fact that the audience for it is comparatively smaller. Moreover, it's an adult film (18+), so you get the idea, right? OTT lovers may enjoy it somewhat, but not the family audience or rom-com lovers. It's your regular story, alright, but not your regular story all the way. Mind it. Overall, a modern day love slasher uplifted by Bobby Deol's most reckless and imprudent role recently.
RATING - 5/10*

A raw and effective thriller
just_ashishsingh25 February 2022
Set against the khap panchayat versus inter religion marriages the movie sets the pace from the very first frame and maintains it till the very end
Bobby Deol is the cold blooded executer of the Khap Panchayat orders who doesn't blink an eye lid to pull a trigger is after a Jat-Muslim couple played by Vikrant Massey and Sanya Malhotra who have eloped and got married. This is majorly is the plot of the movie.
The movie keeps things raw, real and unapologetic. It doesn't fall into the typical Bollywood traps and that's what makes it different from the rest of the movies made on this subject. You might be reminded of Love Sex and Dhokha though on occasions which tackled a similar subject. It will shock you on occasions and even make you uncomfortable which a movie on such subject should.
The direction is mostly good and doesn't slip much. Performances wise Vikrant is reliable as always and Sanya is average. Her character is a bit half baked compared to others and that hampers her performance. But the star of the show is Bobby Deol who delivers a knockout performance as the cold blooded killer and you would like to see more of him on screen.
It's definitely not a masterpiece but a good watch. Don't expect a typical Bollywood thriller though.

Anti-climactic and utterly forgettable.
Amyth4727 February 2022
My Rating : 2/10.
Why are movies like this even made? There's nothing going for this movie, while it is directed well in some parts the storyline is nothing unique and totally bland.
Lacks substance and while the actors have done their job for their pay check, the writers have absolutely missed the mark on this and just filled it with a one-dimensional villain shooting everyone and everything in sight.
Very disappointing.

Superior product to Dhadak !
Biswas_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.

Waste of good actors
neetabora26 February 2022
Acting, setup & direction is really good but the story has so many plotholes that it becomes unbearable in the end. I was praying the leads get killed before anybody else gets killed.
Bobby Deol looks good but murders everywhere, like in a Baraat, hotel, lawyers home - no media, no attention, seriously?? His character ate up all the suspense & tension built before. Why is he literally killing everything that moves!!!!
The girl is a CA in Delhi but they don't plan to elope to other city, rather stay in a safehouse inaugurated by her own Grandmom, who is supposed to be an MLA!!
They're themselves running for their lives but piling up new people like the guy's mom and her sister. What sort of stupidity is this yaar??
The way the couple was fighting like kids, had immature eloping plan or ran away despite one is a CA & other is a shopkeeper involved with criminal activities- really makes you think what you're trying to glorify for upcoming generations!

Warning: Spoilers
This movie left me in a state of shock, I did not expect it to be so good. 'Love Hostel' grips you from the very first scene, keeps you captivated throughout its runtime and leaves you in a state of shock with its jaw dropping climax.
THE THINGS THAT ARE GOOD :
1. 'Love Hostel' wastes no time in getting to the point and never fails to surprise you at any given point of time. Normally thrillers promote themselves saying no one's safe in their film, this one actually means it.
2. Sanya Malhotra and Vikrant Massey may not be the most popular names of our film industry, but their performances in this film are absolutely flawless. In real life, Sanya Malhotra comes across as a very sweet and soft spoken girl, and one might assume that this actress is probably cut out for only a certain kind of roles, but that would be such a wrong assumption. The variety of roles that she has done with complete conviction leaves you in a state of astonishment, and after watching 'Love Hostel' I am sure that even the worst critics would be convinced that that this girl possesses a remarkable acting range. Whether she had to portray innocence or spunk or anger or a state of emotional despair, Sanya Malhotra nailed every scene to perfection.
Vikrant Massey is one of the hardest working actors of our film industry. Be it any role, this actor puts in everything into it. In this film, he doesn't play the typical hero who is pretty much a super hero, instead he often comes across as fearful, always in a dilemma, battling his inner demons and lets the girl take the lead. A lesser actor would have made a mess of his role, but Vikrant Massey shines through it. As a viewer you truly feel for him going through all the misery, because he made it feel real through his emotional act. Despite giving such brilliant performances, Sanya Malhotra and Vikrant Massey continue to be two of the most underrated actors of our film industry, something that absolutely needs to change.
3. These days, trailers don't introduce a film, they reveal the entire storyline. Although 'Love Hostel' did promise a bloody ride through its trailer, the movie had so much more than just that. The creators need to be complemented for not revealing all their cards in the trailer.
4. It has been a while since Bobby Deol's movie career lost direction, but with 'Love Hostel' he has made a solid comeback as the crazy assassin Dagar. The heavily bearded look, with a scar on his face worked wonders in making him look scary. At no point does it feel like this role should have been done by a better actor, Bobby Deol has done full justice to the role.
5. The movie has a stellar supporting cast. Sidharth Bhardwaj as the creepy Safe House Incharge, Swaroopa Ghosh as Jyoti's grandmother, Aditi Vasudev as Nidhi Dahiya, Raj Arjun as DCP Sushil Rathi and Yudhvir Ahlawat as the younger brother of Jyoti are absolutely fabulous and extremely believable in their respective roles.
6. The movie has a fresh storyline. The basic premise of lovers running away from home is of course not new, but how the story proceeds from there is something that has never been done before. A cold blooded assassin running after people, and actually killing them without blinking an eye was something that I did not anticipate.
7. The movie doesn't shy away from doing social commentary by showing us how injustice prevails in our society and how we have normalized it. Not a lot of filmmakers are courageous enough to talk about the things that have been shown in the film, and for that the director and the writers need to be praised.
8. The movie proceeds at a breakneck speed and does not waste time in doing things that could have slowed down the film. There are just two songs in the film of very short duration. Love Hostel is a thriller that remembers that it's a thriller.
THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT SO GOOD :
1. Dagar comes across as too strong, almost invincible. It seems as if law does not exist for him. He gets away with everything way too easily. Although, there is not a lot of justice in the world and powerful people can get away with just about anything, but Dagar's power came across as a bit too much.
2. I would have loved to spend more time with our lead pair of Ashu and Jyoti. Their scenes together were lovely, but due to things happening too fast and all the time, we couldn't get to know more about their lives. The director could have increased the runtime to two hours and added more scenes of Sanya Malhotra and Vikrant Massey.
'Love Hostel' is easily one of the most well made movies to have come out of the Hindi Film Industry in recent times, one that will not only entertain you but also keep you on the edge of your seat throughout its runtime.

Sameer lodaya
The movie is only blood bath without any reason
The story is of north india where love marriage is not acceptable and so the couples goes to court to get safety of their lives from their parents and society and then they are kept in ugly safe house called LOVE HOSTEL...Vikrant is the only positive factor in this movie who has acted well rest bobby is just killing people without any reason
Probably the intention of makers were to make a dark movie but sorry it was ugly..the factors which make the movie dark are intense scenes, facial expressions, background scores ,strong content but here everything was missing..bobby said his reason for killings in just one line
If you like to see blood in nearly all the scenes then this is for you.

Pertinent but needed better execution
ushasiesmeimdb26 February 2022
The movie tackles pertinent social issues but the execution could have been better. Particularly in the case of the character of Dagar and the threat he represents is shown as larger than life, yet people don't recognise him on the streets. The last two twists added a new flavour to the film.

dsgill-0265227 February 2022
Anti climatic vague and plagiarised. Looks like someone with deep pockets and an itch to get into movie production hired whatever he could lay hands on and came up with this dud. It's fast but that's the only thing that lets you overcome the stupidity.
Movie Premyy honest review
premmgor27 February 2022
Love hostel is Raw, Ruthless, and talks about honor killing and love with such brilliance. Maybe the movie hasn't shown everything but it still answers every question if you watch it closely. Action is top-notch and bloody. Though it feels that the movie's climax could have been better but you won't regret watching it, especially for its performances, camerawork!
Another torture movie
bqminimart28 February 2022
Wonder why Bollywood is collapsing. Is it out of creativity? Why so anti hindu and why love jihad is bullywood's favourite topic. Bollywood is completely rejected day by day. South indian movies are taking over hindi cinema.
A Wasted Opportunity but Watch It For Bobby Deol.He is the Show Stealer here.

Movie Starts Well but Becomes a Little Boring in the Mid although the Content is Fine and Cinematography is Good and Dialogues are quote Impressive
Talking about the Performances Bobby Deol is The Show stealer Here 🔥 He is Getting Better and more Intense With every Role he does and He Scares everytime He comes on screen .
Vikrant and Sanya are Okay Raj Arjun is wasted This Time
The Unexpected ending is The Bad part of the Movie .
It could have been the Best crime Thriller but Weak Direction is The Drawback.
Watch it for Bobby deol 💯

Dark and twisted!
mayankshukla140428 February 2022
Love Hostel is a dark and gloomy tale on honour killings. It is a fast paced thriller that demands atleast a one time watch. The film paints a haunting real picture of North India where the inter caste/inter faith marriages remain a daunting task while the evil of honour killing still prevails.
Vikrant Massey & Sanya Malhotra are brilliant to watch expectedly. However Bobby Deol steals the show here playing a ruthless killer with aplomb. This is yet another dark character for him after Aashram and he is terrific. This dark and twisted drama thriller is a perfect watch for the OTT audience.

Review By Kamal K
Director Shanker Raman sets up the world to explore the dark side of Haryana, and to keep things short and gritty, he misses to build any sort of tension through the narrative. You don't root for either of the leads, as the director fails to create any sort of sympathy towards the leads, and this is due to a lack of characterisation.
While the first hour shows some spark, the entire build-up falls like a pack of cards towards the final 45 minutes. Bobby Deol's character too is undercooked as there was a need to invest more time in curating a backstory for a serial killer like him, who is riding on such a strong and overpowering ideology.
Talking of performances, Bobby Deol shines and delivers a powerful performance. He is fierce all through the film, has a screen presence that's enough to spike fear, and does well with his dialogue delivery too. Sanya Malhotra too delivers an earnest performance, slipping into the mould of her multi-dimensional character. Vikrant Massey is good as always and does well within the circle that the script entangled him in. Raj Arjun's character is rather pointless, though he has done well in the arc. Akshay Oberoi and the rest of the actors are rather wasted, not getting enough scope to perform.

Bobby Deol's character too is undercooked as there was a need to invest more time in curating a backstory for a serial killer like him, who is riding on such a strong and overpowering ideology.
Talking of performances, Bobby Deol shines and delivers a powerful performance. He is fierce all through the film, has a screen presence that's enough to spike fear, and does well with his dialogue delivery too. Sanya Malhotra too delivers an earnest performance, slipping into the mould of her multi-dimensional character. Vikrant Massey is good as always and does well within the circle that the script entangled him in. Raj Arjun's character is rather pointless, though he has done well in the arc. Akshay Oberoi and the rest of the actors are rather wasted, not getting enough scope to perform.

Same old fake narrative...Hindus are bad Muslims are good...don't these guys get tired of setting false stories which is opposite of reality? I mean Love Jihad in India is so real that it can be depressing for some Hindu families with daughters.
