Warning: Spoilers
The holy offspring when a beautiful story meets a group of gifted artists and a fabulous film crew. The movie completely engulfs you until you give in to a sublime story telling. And to top it up with a fabulous soundtrack is like icing the cake with gold. This joyous movie ride promises you with comedy, clean concise romance before surprising you with a larger delicate theme of a social stigma that plagues our country. The culmination of the movie deserves nothing less than a standing ovation.

Mazel Tov to this wonderful team.

I'm no critic. I don't know the finer details about movie-making. Ustad Hotel satiated my soul and has cast a lingering effect on me. It is only very rarely that one doesn't feel even a tinge of regret when he has spent 180 bucks for a movie ticket. What Anjali Menon conveys through Kareem-kka (Thilakan) finds profound meaning in the philosophy of everything:

"Vayaru nirachal mathram pora mone... kazhikkunna aalinte manassu nirayanam. Athanu kayipunyam" (It's not enough to just cook for filling one's stomach my son... the food must fill one's heart. He makes the real chef)
