The days spent in hostel always makes one nostalgic, while reminiscing those golden days of life.” 

Producer Subhash Bora added that Hostel Days based in the 1990s, saying, “The story deals with the hostel life in early 1990s when there were no mobile phones and smart phones, no cable or dish TV, no internet and thus there was a lot of fun.
