S2 was really not a good one from Hostel Daze. However, this time in S3, it is a little better than S2.
Adarsh Gaurav departs and in comes Utsav sarkar for Ankit's role and i really missed Adarsh. Utsav doesnt have the character Adarsh gave to Ankit. And more so, his character has been mostly sidelined , the only episode where he gets some good screen space is Dosti ka Udhari. That too is shared between him and Chirag. Surprisingly, this season has focused more on Chirag. In every episode, he seems to be taking the lead except maybe the GSHA episode where Jhatoo was in focus. Jaat is the only character who got equal space in all episodes, not too much space, nor too less.
At this point, Ankit's character does not excite me anymore. No body can replace Adarsh. The girls Ahaas and Nabo too have very limited screen space. Watch out for Chirag and Nabo, they have a nice surprise at the end for you !
Still, in terms of the comedy factor, this season is far better than S2. The jokes didnt look forced unlike S2 and the entertainment seemed okayish this time, better than s2. Still, A lot of things are irrelevant or overdone in hostel daze like boys happily getting entry into girls college or replacing yoga with alcohol for better stress relief etc after all its a fictional tale and ya, hostel daze at this point is no more a relevant series (what it pretended to be in S1) but just a commercial entertainer. Lights camera Cut, GSHA and Wing Chor and Dear Seniors were the best ones for me. Dear Seniors episode is the traditional style that Hostel Daze has been following to include one emotional episode at the end and you can easily sense one in the probably last season which will come next year.
Raju Shrivastava has been placed exactly in the last emotional episode and it will be emotional to see him one last time.
Overall, a good redemption from S2 debacle. Still, S1 had even more entertainment in it and S3 is well short of that. Waiting for the placement season which will be the last season of this web series.
