Madhu moves to a hostel and stays in room number 333. She meets girls in the hostel who never move out. They even warn her not to get out of the hostel. However, she feels that something supernatural is present there. Madhu also doubts Nakul to be one of the masked men who assaulted her. Some incidents make Madhu doubt her sanity.

Star Performance

Rajat Kapoor plays his part well. Abhishek Chauhan plays Madhu’s lover. He is good in his performance. Gagan plays a negative role. His role is complex, and he has done it with perfection.

Shalini Vatsa’s performance as the warden and Shilpa Shukla’s cameo add worth to the story.

Analysis

The story is quite decent. The narrative is impressive. The hostel is designed as a character, adding depth to the narrative. The visuals are impressive, with decent lighting. The horror element was impressive, but it was abandoned in the climax. The final episodes are interesting with emotional elements. The subplots are complicated. The tonal shift is not handled properly.

What’s There?

• The performances are good
• The visuals and lighting effects are good

What’s Not There?

• If the horror element had been handled well in the final episodes, it would’ve been better

Verdict

The negatives, like missing details regarding the horror elements in the final episodes, make the series a bit lagging. However, for the making and performances, the series is watchable once!
