Watching Ustaad Hotel reinstated my belief in the Malayalam Movie Industry.

The fresh face of Dulquer(although a striking resemblance of his Megastar Dad)was a treat to watch and had it been played by an established actor, I don't think would have given the same effect. Nithya Menen had little role to play, but did well as the supportive,romantic interest.It is sad that Thilakan would not be there anymore to amaze us with his acting talents, he will be really missed. He and Thilakan are the stars of this movie and did a great job, well supported by Siddique & Mamukkoya. In one sentence, Ustaad Hotel is a MacGuffin that transforms the life of the central character played by Dulquer Salmaan. I am not going to discuss the story or plot elements here, as it is to be seen to be experienced.

It is a movie which kept me glued to the seat throughout, like his previous venture - Kerala Cafe. It is difficult to come across a great Malayalam movie these days and Anwar Rasheed has weaved his Magic yet again. A movie which has impressed me across all dimensions - In terms of Acting, Story, Direction, Cinematography and last but not the least Music.
