Four naive and vulnerable wing-mates (Ankit, Chirag, Jaat, and Jhantoo) develop lasting bonds as they jostle hard to survive the first semester in a hostel. Peppered with absurdities, chutzpahs, clashes and debacles inherent to hostel life, ‘Hostel Daze’ depicts the grill that every Indian hostel-resident goes through. At the National Advanced Technical Training Institute (NATTI), the hostel manager (Sameer Saxena) fields a phone call from a parent complaining about their kid being bullied. Amidst a wave of surprise by confused looking students, we hear him say, “Ma’am, aapka beta professor hai (Ma’am, your son is the professor.) Relax.” What viewers of Amazon Prime Video’s latest comedy-drama offering Hostel Daze will come to realize, over the course of the five-episode series, is that life at this engineering institution is not easy, for anyone.
