The season which is created by The Viral Fever (TVF) takes us back to our campus days. Due to the ongoing pandemic and lockdown, many college-going students and hostelites are unable to get the feel of living in a hostel, but the show has not only portrayed it beautifully but makes the viewer witness hostel life sitting from the comforts of their home. It takes everyone back to their colleges days and relive those beautiful memories where time just flew by, and one made forever bonds and learnt some critical lessons of life.
A creators' vision, a quintessential cast and background crew are essentials for any show. This series had all the C perfectly aligned with one another. The actors perfectly suited for the roles they had been given and each one of them got into the skin of their character. The creators portrayed the journey from being a junior to becoming a senior beautifully and allowed viewers to read in between the lines to understand and relive their hostel days. If that wasn't enough, the original soundtrack, cinematography and punchy dialogues were the icing on the cake.
There are times when a scene is so powerful and impactful that it's stayed with the viewers for long after they have watched the film/series. Hostel Daze Season 2 is not different. One such instance that made us shed a happy tear was when Ankit, Jaat and Chirag went back home and called Jhantoo, who was living in the hostel all alone. Their small talks about everyday life and family is something we all have done, and makes us realize the importance of college friends and the fun times we had back on campus. The other instances that one could totally relate to are the banter between juniors and seniors and the evergreen dialogue - 'Es baar ka toh batch hi bekar aaya hai'.
So, here are 4 reasons why Hostel Daze Season 2 is a winner. If you haven't watched it yet, then you should do so now. Get ready to go down memory lane and reminisce about your campus life with Hostel Daze Season 2 that is exclusively streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
