Ustad Hotel

Ustad Hotel is a real treat for eyes, which keeps us engaged and makes our taste-buds come alive.

The pluses include well crafted story line, with simplicity to the core, excellent background score and music, breathtaking visuals, and moreover, it brings out a valuable message.

Dulquar has done a good job, and Thilakan stands out as Kareemikka, and kudos all the cast and crew members for giving such a wonderful experience.

Overall I rate this as must watch and request Dileep and other mimicry artists to stop degrading Malayalam movies with films like Mayamohini, Pachakuthira etc, as this surely is the re-birth of Malayalam movie with a cry for quality and lasting content.

Thanks.

Usthad hotel directed by Anwar rasheed and scripted by Anjali menon starring veteran Thilkan,Dulquer,Siddique & Nithya menen. Usthad hotel shows the strong bond developed between grandpa & his grandson. 1st half is filled with comedy & joy,while 2nd half is more of a poverty,under privilege,love,piece & joy everything compelled to make a Usthad hotel indeed a heart warming,endearing and lovable. Movie doesn't offer any thrill nor dramatic twist but at the end give you a charming smile on your face. Plot is littlebit clichéd with some mouth watering flavour added to make viewer s engage throughout. Denouement of the film is really heartwarming and endearing. All actors performance shows their brilliance especially DQ & veteran Thilkan. Music by Gopi sundar was good & apt for this. Must watch for good lovers of Indian cinema. R.I.P Thilkan!

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!

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. With the backdrop of food and malabar,it does provide an interesting watch, the more appeasing if you are from malabar region. 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. The sulaimani & mohabbath scene with Dulqar and Thilakan was a mesmerizing one. 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. 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.

With food being an important element in the plot, chances are high the movie being compared to "Salt ' n' Pepper". Ustad Hotel is a feel good drama which would skip being at par with S 'n' P which was a romantic comedy. 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.

Last 2 weeks i only watched south indian movies,atleast 40 movies i watched and i must say what a talent South Indian film industry have. They have content they have Actor,actress,director, creators best important things they have guts to make all kind movies.. hatsoff.. love from Bangladesh.

Though it was Dulquer Salmaan's first film as an actor, he didn't go with the typical mindset of Indian actors of introducing himself as an super hero or central character of any film (when he could do that). That shows his maturity and wisdom.

There were many times when the viewers felt the central character was Thilakan and not Dulquer Salmaan. Thilakan sir again proved that with whomever he is acting, he will steel the show. What an actor .!

I really liked the cute, smart Nithya Menon. Her Malabar accent was awesome.

The rest of the crew also did their job fabulously. The background music was also very good.

It must be the kind of masterpiece that every director and viewers dream of.

I congratulate all the crew member for making the film such a huge success and wish them to always come with such ideas.

Thanks, Sujith
