The matter at hand is a no-brainer: how and why, even today, khap panchayats and families in places like Haryana, where the film is set, resort to honour killings. Jyothi (Sanyaa Malhotraa) marries Ahmedh/Aashu with the help of an university lecturer (Vikranth Masey). She is a qualified accountant who comes from a family of politicians. By day, he operates his family's kasaikhanaa, and by night, he's a police mole working for an illegal trading ring. His father is currently incarcerated for an accused arms-related offence. The disparity between their worlds is obvious.
Knowing that Jyoti's grandmother may take drastic measures, the pair seeks refuge in a governmental safe house, which physically portrays the terrible state of institutions designed to protect spouses like jyothi and Aashu. Jyoti's grandmother employs Dagar, the community's favourite mercenary, to kidnap her granddaughter and kill the man she loves. The rest of the storey revolves around whether or not jyothi and Ashu are pursued by the contract killer.
On the other hand, honour killings have been handled in a variety of ways in recent years in a number of mainstream movies, some of which have fared better than this one. love Hostel doesn't tell us anything we don't already know.
