Hostel Daze Shooting College — Name Top

It was supposed to be a casual shoot—a short film for the college fest, starring four overconfident juniors and a camera that had seen better days. The script: a goofy satire on professors. The plan: cram dialogue between all-night study sessions, borrow a projector, and hope for magic.

Block-E's room 204 became the set. Posters peeled; a string of fairy lights buzzed like an anxious crowd. The director, an eternal optimist with more ideas than patience, barked orders. The actors improvised, tripped over props, and discovered halfway through that the “climax” required a dramatic running scene—down three flights of stairs.

What followed was chaos flavored with absurdity: a misfired prop, a perfectly timed power cut, and an impromptu monologue delivered to an audience of bewildered seniors. Somewhere between takes, the camera caught something genuine—a raw, unscripted laugh, a look shared between friends—moments that no screenplay could stage. The footage wasn't cinematic perfection; it was honest. That night’s clip, uploaded as a joke, became the viral heart of the fest—crude, real, unforgettable.

For die-hard fans who want to take a "Jhantoo-style" selfie:

When we say “top college name,” we aren’t just talking about a film permit. We are talking about a campus that offers the perfect visual language for a hostel drama. Here is why SRM IST became the definitive backdrop for the show:

The outdoor scenes—where characters skip classes, smoke cigarettes, or have existential breakdowns—were shot across the sprawling green “lawns” and the corridors of the main academic blocks (particularly the Technology Tower area). The distinct architecture of SRM’s older buildings gives the show its unique "south Indian engineering college" aesthetic.

Hostel Daze, the Indian comedy-drama web series, filmed key college scenes at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad’s campus and at Vardhaman College (also credited in some sources) for certain exterior and dormitory-style shots. The production primarily recreated a generic engineering/hostel campus look rather than representing a real college’s internal life.

Hostel Daze is a popular Indian web series that humorously explores college life, hostel culture, friendship, and coming-of-age moments. Here’s an engaging, punchy piece centered on a fictional college—Topaz College—set around a memorable hostel shooting (film/scene) moment.

If you have seen the show, you remember the food fights and the dal-chawal melancholy. The mess scenes were filmed in the actual dining halls of SRM. The long steel tables, the chaotic queues at the counter, and the judgmental mess manager—all captured in real-time at the SRM campus mess.
