Usthad Hotel- A Delicious one!!!

There are movies which runs on heroisms, there are also movies which depends on brilliant performances from the cast & there are movies which runs on the script and the treatment.Usthad hotel belongs to the last section where Anjali Menon's fine narration, Anwar Rasheed's slick making are packaged with stunning visuals & enchanting background music.
It is the story about the home coming and associated realisations of a younger raised and educated abroad who wanted to be someone else in his life which we have seen in movies like Swadesh,Lakshya,Wake up sid...Here the guy wants to be a chef against his father's MBA dreams and due to various incidents he has to join his Grandfather's hotel on a beach.The experience in the hotel & with the people around him changes him as  a person and this makes the crux of the story.
The movie is filled with  numerous engrossing moments and wisely written sequences which are sure to stay in our heart for long.The hitmaker Anwar rasheed here told the human relations with subtle emotions and humour all around.It also touches our heart at some points.The cinematography is stunning and Lokanathan has almost created a visual poetry.Another major boost for this movie is BGM by Gopi Sunder.Its blends so well with the movie that we are lured to the movie with just the visuals and music.In fact  almost thirty minutes in the movie just builds on with his BG scores rather than dialogues.
On acting front Thilakan as Kareemikka overshadows every one as usual  with his sheer brilliance.
Dulquar definitely improved a lot from his first film though he doesn't has any difficult scene in the film.Nithya Menon has a good role which she played well.

 Though the second half is a bit slow and could have been less lenghthy  Usthad Hotel is Anwar Rasheed's best film till date and again proves that a mass movie could be a moving one too with right ingredients.Overall this is a highly entertaining movie which will definitely bring smiles to our faces.A delicious meal guarantied!!!!
