Hostel Daze

Edit

Summaries

  • Ankit grapples with identity crisis as he finds himself pretty ordinary amongst his batch-mates.

Synopsis

  • Ankit starts watching porn on his laptop. He is obsessed with Kavita Aunty (Paromita Dey) and her ample cleavage. His intranet handle is CoolDude69 and the porn from his laptop is available to the entire college. Leo (Pradyot Mokashi) is the hostel guitarist and always has an audience of girls who surround him to listen to his songs. For some reason nobody believes that Ankit is part of the hostel.

    The guard (Arun Kumar) says that most people go through college unnoticed. Only a few achieve cult status like Rampuri (famous for stabbing in Counter Strike), Jatayu (biggest metal fan in the hostel), Dalle (is able to arrange passes for the Sophia college fashion show), Mukhiya (has an IAS maternal Uncle and can get government work done). Engineers have an issue that they can prove an identity but cannot create it.

    Jhantoo wants to be hostel president in the 4th year and wants his friends to create their own nickname and identity in college. He says only the team with the strongest identity wins the elections. Jhantoo likes Jaat as he will get 55 votes from the girl's hostel and is participating in every sport except chess. Jhantoo is clear that students feel unsatisfied, unknown and disposable without an identity in college. Jhantoo encourages everyone to join a club on campus and use that as a platform to form their identity. Chirag feels this will impact studies, but Jhantoo argues that extra curricular is also required for a strong resume. Dance and Music clubs are already closed as the good ones have already been selected to those.

    Ankit goes for the cultural clubs and Chirag goes for the technical ones. At hacking club, Chirag is rejected because he revealed his identity and identity is the biggest weapon of a hacker. At debate club, Ankit is rejected when he is asked to argue against the topic: I should be selected for the debate club. At art club, Ankit is rejected as his painting is beyond basic. At drama club, Ankit rejects it as he finds it too dramatic. At robotics club, Chirag rejects it, as 1300 teams from India participate year in an annual robot's competition, and everybody writes about it on their resume. Chirag feels there is nothing unique about it. At nature club, there in only one person in the club and Ankit is the 2nd. They water the lawns.

    Ravi Teja and even Jaat know about CoolDude69 who has supplied a fresh batch of porn to the whole college. Ravi says that cooldude69 wanted to share the porn with the college, else would have kept his folder private and not accessible via LAN. Ankit is depressed that all his batch-mates are known in the hostel, but he is unknown.

    Chirag starts recording lectures on his mobile camera to make them available for those students who miss lectures. Even the professor (Saurabh Khanna) is impressed with this (as Chirag promises fame, celebrity status and respect from his students) and allows Chirag to continue this activity. This makes Chirag famous overnight. Chirag has dreams of giving a TedTalk at Stanford.

    The hacking club tracks down the ID of cooldude69 and reach Ankit's room. The seniors thank Ankit for bringing Kavita Aunty to campus. They say that the boys have whitewashed their rooms and for the first time they are sending videos to their IIT batch-mates. They say that they had to track him down as he made the folder private. Talking to Ankit they realize that he is a walking encyclopedia on porn industry. He knows the best directors, the hall of fame actresses and so on. Ankit creates clips of all famous scenes and posts only those in his folders with helpful hints and text commentary. Ankit's vision is to bring deep-fake porn to campus, with 3D virtual reality. The hackers assign him the title of DOPA (Dean of Pondy Affairs). In a hostel only Pondy can get you cult status, social service and respectability in a single go.

    A DOPA knows even what the girl's hostel is watching. Ankit's lab partner is Nabomita Bharadwaj aka "Nabo" (Ayushi Gupta), a frequent visitor to cooldude69. A DOPA can never reveal his accomplishments on resume or talk about them on interview, but the whole hostel sleeps blissfully due to a DOPA.
