Imagine you are a top-class student chef who wants to do an internship in France but ends up helping grandpa in a dilapidated hotel.

Ustad Hotel is a class movie in Malayalam directed by Anwar Rasheed and the main actors are Dulquer Salman, late Thilakan, Nithya Menen. The supporting actors also have done a great job.

I hope you watch the movie. I tried to get a subtitled version but the Hindi dubbed one was the only available and many understand Hindi, so it would be fair.

Back to the movie, it is the story of a young man who lost his mother after birth and his grandfather helped look after him. He is later taken abroad where his sisters raise him and he learns cooking while playing with them.

He loves to cook and wants to become a chef but his father objects and also marries a lady whom he doesn't like. He decides to return to his grandfather where it is revealed he has a girlfriend and ends up rejecting a girl whom his father searches for him.

He leaves his father and joins his grandfather and helps him around in a dilapidated hotel. His main aim is to go to France but his grandfather asks him to visit a friend in another state and he goes. There he is astounded by the fact that his grandfather was helping feed poor people all the while, on a daily basis.

He changes his mind and returns home to find that the hotel is closed and his grandfather missing.

Meanwhile, the very girl whom he had rejected finds a place in his heart, and in the end, it is shown the two of them running the hotel which he had saved from a star hotel that had deceived his grandfather.

Mass appeal

The audience gave a good rating to this movie and it was dubbed in other languages. Language is no barrier. The main actors have conveyed their feelings and emotions even without words and the songs are also very appealing.

There is no vulgarity and no swear word used in this movie. Only raw emotions which touch your heart. Most of the Malayalam movies are like that. It shows that you do not need vulgarity, sex, or abuse to attract the masses.
