The Nepali film Hostel 3, the third installment of the popular Hostel franchise, has crossed borders and won hearts in India, marking another milestone for Nepali cinema. After achieving a record-breaking 51-day run in Nepal, the film has now replicated the same success in India.
According to Indian distributor Suraj Khadka, Hostel 3 has completed 51 consecutive days of screening at the SVF Cinema, Rink Mall in Darjeeling, where it has been showing since Sept 5. The film was distributed in India by Gorkha Film Production and Super Cinema, reaching over 50 theaters across Sikkim, Darjeeling, Siliguri, Guwahati, Assam, and Manipur.
Director Sashank Kandel expressed his delight at the film’s achievement across the border. “First of all, I want to thank Durgesh Films for trusting and permitting the production of such a large franchise,” he said. “I am equally grateful to everyone involved in production, distribution, and promotion for making this possible.”
Hostel 3 portrays the ups and downs of campus life, exploring themes of love, friendship, and struggle—making it particularly popular among the youth. The film features Paras Bam Thakuri (Kulboy), Rihan Giri, Padam Tamang, Ashish Ghimire, Simran Pant, Hena Nagarkoti, Sama Parajuli, Umar Khan, Santosh Baniya, and Ashish Purush in key roles.
The film’s writer and associate director is Madhav Sharma, with Suresh Kandel and Govinda Adhikari serving as producers. The co-producers include Shishir Gyawali, Anish Sigdel, and Kundan Gupta. Shankar Koirala is the executive producer, and Kosis Raj Kshetri worked as the line producer.
Following its commercial success, Hostel 3 is now available for streaming on Cinemaghar App. Viewers can watch the movie via Google Play Store, App Store, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TV, and LG WebOS, or through web browsers and Chromecast on their computers.
