So is Thilakan for whom I cannot praise as he's beyond all that. Everything about it including the acting, direction, music & visuals are so impressive.ĭulquer Salmaan is excellent as Feyzee, the aspiring chef. It's really a wonderful feeling when you set to watch a movie with average expectation and it then blows your mind away :) Without doubt, Ustad Hotel is one of the most endearing movies I've seen and is also now one of my all-time favs in Malayalam cinema. It did disappoint me that the romance was so underplayed in Ustad Hotel, the only romantic scene was sweet leaving us craving for more! All said, Anwar Rasheed & crew does it in style, a good feast to relish. Ustad Hotel is a feel good drama which would skip being at par with S 'n' P which was a romantic comedy. With food being an important element in the plot, chances are high the movie being compared to "Salt ' n' Pepper". We have a young hero in Dulqar Salman who is handsome and stylish - improved a lot from Second Show - and an ever amazing Thilakan who excels as Ustad, Nithya Menen who plays the love interest of Dulqar does well too. The background score & songs were so soothing to the senses - hindustani, folk rock and even a sufi track - which went well with the storyline did wonders for the movie. The sulaimani & mohabbath scene with Dulqar and Thilakan was a mesmerizing one. The screenplay by Anjali menon is too good that we don't get stuck anywhere, a bit let loose towards the end, making it melodramatic - I got a lump in my throat after a very long time. With the backdrop of food and malabar,it does provide an interesting watch, the more appeasing if you are from malabar region. The story, roughly, is about a young guy who tries to get away with his career only to find himself in the thick of things which goes otherwise. Ustad Hotel is a flavour rich drama which has got all the ingredients to satisfy everyone alike, that without compromising on the artistic elements! Anwar Rasheed Anjali Menon duo doesn't disappoint, true to be, they don't strike Gold either!
