Synopsis[]

Completely in love, Ashu and Jyoti have chosen to spend the rest of their lives together. Aware that their families will not approve as they each come from a different religion, the couple decides to elope and wed in secret. This decision puts them in danger as they are now being hunted by Dagar, a ruthless mercenary who will not stop until he has found and "corrected" them.[4]

Cast[]

Production[]

Plans to create Love Hostel were first announced in October 2020.[6] Shanker Raman wrote the script for Love Hostel, with the plans that he would also serve as the film's director. While writing the script and developing the movie he focused on "questions of the heart and the mind" and also focused on questioning "what our society has become but also the paths we take to solve our problems".[7] The film also focuses on honor killings.[8] Vikrant Massey and Sanya Malhotra were brought in to portray two of the film's central characters and principal photography began on 23 February 2021 in Punjab's Patiala district.[9][10] Gauri Khan, Gaurav Verma, and Manish Mundra served as producers and the film was created as a joint production between Red Chillies Entertainment and Drishyam Films.[6]

Bobby Deol was also confirmed as performing in the film.[11] He was initially reluctant to come on to the production. Raman and his crew rewrote the script in hopes of appealing to the actor, who agreed to join the cast upon reading this second draft.[12] The director has stated that these changes "elevated the emotional quotient of the film".[13] In an article dated prior to the film's release Deol described his character as " a very interesting character that has quite a twisted journey" and that the character's actions were caused by something that "happened one day that changed him completely. So now whatever he does, he does it in his righteous way."[14] The film's script called for his character to chew tobacco, which required Deol to chew on a piece of cotton for scenes where Dagar is chewing and speaking.[4]

Filming was temporarily halted due to local farmers protesting the 2020 Indian agriculture acts.[11] The farmers stated that they were unhappy that Deol's family did not voice their support for the protest. Several other protestors had similarly disrupted a shoot on another film the previous month. Filming was stopped one additional time by the protestors before it was able to commence.[15] Filming wrapped up on 31 July 2021.[16][17] Sanya Malhotra commented that making the film was emotional and tough for all of them due to film's themes and plot, further remarking that she had trouble sleeping during filming.[18]

Release[]

Love Hostel is slated to release on ZEE5 on 25 February 2022.[19] The Indian Express wrote favorably about the trailer, stating that the movie "promises to be a compelling romantic drama with a gruesome crime angle."[20] GQ India called the trailer one of the "best trailers of 2022 (so far)".[21]

Music[]

The music of the film is composed by Jeet Gannguli with lyrics written by Manoj Yadav.
