Lokanathan chooses his angles with craft and finds it wonderfully convenient to have a glimpse of the lovers on the beach through the windows of a hotel. He even chips in with his own love story, the climax of which is sweeter than his smile. When he serves his grandson a specially-made black tea, he whispers to him to sprinkle some love in it every time he makes one. Though backed by a genial script, one cannot discount the overpowering nature of Thilakan’s acting. Anwar Rasheed lends an added grace to the movie with the studied pace of his narrative. But the scene works, for it celebrates a spirit that pervades the entire film without ever going wild. The probability of a pretty Muslim girl and a youth leisurely lapping up their new-found love with its share of innocuous adventures in the wee-hours on an empty street in Kerala might be contestable. The glow that appears on Feizee’s face when their teacher deciphers the sign as their thanks for the delicious biriyani he had served them had more warmth than the twilight-drenched evenings at the beach which recur in the movie. It is the best moment in Ustad Hotel when these kids walk up to Feizee (Dulqar) one by one and inscribe on his palm a sign which he fails to comprehend.

In fact what changes his attitude is a group of children with special needs. He even says so to his girlfriend, without bothering about what she would think about his selfish and ambitious nature. When his grandfather collapses following a heart attack, he genuinely wishes his grandfather would not ask him to stay back dropping his overseas dreams. In a film that gently meanders along touching upon facets of love between a man and a woman, a father and a son, and a grandfather and grandson, the elements are infused with precision. Movie Review: There is a certain warmth about Ustad Hotel.
