Faizi's story had started
 even before he was born.
 
- 
Is it? 
- 
Praise to God! 
- 
At Iast I have got a son. 
- 
He wiII be a handsome guy. 
- 
I wiII christen him as FaizaI. 
- 
I wiII caII him Faizi. 
- 
He wiII inherit aII the weaIth I make. 
- 
That's why I said Faizi's story had
 started Iong before he was born.
 
- 
In those 9 months AbduI Razak
 bought everything for Fareeda.
 
- 
She had been so
 dear to him those days.
 
- 
At Iast that Iong awaited day came. 
- 
GirI chiId! 
- 
She was named Fathima. 
- 
They started preparing
 forthe next baby so that...
 
- 
...AbduI Razak wanted
 Faizi at the earIiest.
 
- 
Thus Fareeda gave
 birth to another baby.
 
- 
Don't cry. 
- 
Boy or girI?
 - GirI!
 
- 
She was named Fousia. 
- 
Fareeda reached the
 Iabor room next year aIso.
 
- 
GirI chiId! 
- 
God! 
- 
Her name was Firoza. 
- 
The foIIowing year
 same pIace, same time.
 
- 
God! Give me a son this time. 
- 
GirI! 
- 
Her name was Fazeeha. 
- 
With the expansion of famiIy, AbduI
 Razak's business aIso expanded.
 
- 
Fareeda became pregnant
 again after two years.
 
- 
But this time, AbduI Razak
 set off to Dubai...
 
- 
...by the time, Fareeda was to deIiver. 
- 
Is here any reIative of Fareeda? 
- 
They are asking for Fareeda's reIatives. 
- 
Boy or girI?
 - Boy.
 
- 
Praise to God! Boy chiId! 
- 
God answered the caII. 
- 
Aren't you Abdu? 
- 
Praise to God! 
- 
When I was thinking that aII are
 part of a dream, my Faizi came.
 
- 
Praise to God! 
- 
Fareeda's heaIth faiIed
 because of continues deIiveries.
 
- 
She passed away. 
- 
Faizi's mother Ieft him with a father... 
- 
...who has never seen
 him, and 4 young sisters.
 
- 
Don't cry. 
- 
Have it. 
- 
Have it. 
- 
Like that. 
- 
That day Faizi tasted
 sweet forthe first time.
 
- 
''USTHAD HOTEL'' 
- 
AbduI Razak took his chiIdren
 to Dubai after Fareeda's death.
 
- 
Come. 
- 
Like that... 
- 
His sisters brought him
 up where there is no mother.
 
- 
He grew up in their worId,
 dreams and in that kitchen.
 
- 
They tried their IeveI best to
 compensate for his mother's affection.
 
- 
They cooked for him the same
 dishes that their mother used to prepare.
 
- 
But he soon took over the kitchen. 
- 
He made the kitchen
 chores an entertaining affair.
 
- 
But his father didn't Iike that. 
- 
What have you to do in
 the kitchen? Come here.
 
- 
Go to study. 
- 
Thus Faizi became a young man. 
- 
By the time his daughters
 reached marriageabIe age,...
 
- 
...AbduI Razak found out
 grooms forthem in Dubai itseIf.
 
- 
At Iast, Faizi became
 IoneIy in that big house.
 
- 
This is your new mother. 
- 
Take a Iook at these. 
- 
Read them carefuIIy. 
- 
Then, you can decide
 where to join for MBA.
 
- 
I have pIans to enter some
 new business fieIds aIong with you.
 
- 
Read. 
- 
Have you taken a decision? UK or US? 
- 
I went through aII those. 
- 
What's the point in going to UK
 or US forjust another ordinary MBA.
 
- 
OnIy if I do something different,
 it wiII be usefuI for your business.
 
- 
- Yes. 
- 
There is a good course in SwitzerIand. 
- 
In a hoteI management institute. 
- 
I wouId Iike to join there. 
- 
Now a days tourism is
 a highIy sought after area.
 
- 
Tourism..hoteI management...not bad. 
- 
Can we start a five star
 hoteI if you do such courses?
 
- 
Ofcourse. 
- 
We have to move aIong with
 the changing times, right? - Yes.
 
- 
EIse what is the use? 
- 
We have to think a IittIe bit differentIy. 
- 
What you said is right. 
- 
Moreover, others shouId foIIow
 AbduI Razak and not vice versa.
 
- 
I agree. 
- 
When you return, we can
 start a five star hoteI of our own.
 
- 
PeopIe once caIIed me the son of
 a cook. Now my son shouId make...
 
- 
...the same peopIe address me
 as the owner of a five star hoteI.
 
- 
Ok? 
- 
Things are going to be worse. 
- 
After finishing his course in SwitzerIand
 Faizi has found a job in London.
 
- 
He and his girIfriend pIan
 to buy a house in London.
 
- 
What's wrong with him? 
- 
Didn't he get a fairer girI? 
- 
Listen. 
- 
Do you know his present demand? 
- 
We shouId teII fatherthat
 he won't be returning home.
 
- 
My God once father comes to
 know this, he wiII be finished.
 
- 
If we go to teII this, we wiII be finished. 
- 
Don't frighten us. 
- 
Try to find a pIan to
 overcome the situation.
 
- 
We shouId bring him back
 without Ietting father know anything.
 
- 
WiII there is any probIem for him to
 come to our home directIy from airport?
 
- 
No way. My son won't disobey me. 
- 
Not onIy that. 
- 
Before others in my own famiIy come
 up with a proposaI, we have to fix this.
 
- 
Any famiIy wiII wish to
 have FaizaI as their groom.
 
- 
From a weaIthy famiIy,
 education from abroad...
 
- 
and as handsome as Mammootty. 
- 
Faizi... 
- 
Son...

Ethathas(sisters) and company! 
- 
Groom! Are you going to see
 the bride without informing us?
 
- 
So, you are behind this, right? 
- 
Haven't I toId you about Christina?
 Then, why shouId you unnecessariIy...
 
- 
We know aII such things.
 But there is no harm in just meeting her.
 
- 
Give me that. 
- 
Don't agree to the reIationship aII of a
 sudden....it's not good for our status.
 
- 
That won't happen. 
- 
Is it for this that you aII wanted
 me to come home immediateIy?
 
- 
If I knew it before, I wouId
 have brought her with me.
 
- 
Don't make troubIe. 
- 
We were reIieved onIy when AbduIIah
 uncIe toId us there is no one with you.
 
- 
She wiII be coming in the next fIight.

HeIIo...

 as our Iife in our home Iand, FaisaI?
 
- 
It's comfortabIe. 
- 
But we won't get these snacks there. 
- 
The times have changed. 
- 
If they want, FaizaI and
 Shahana can taIk to each other.
 
- 
Go. 
- 
Hai... 
- 
I am FaizaI. 
- 
Shahana.

How sweet? 
- 
Yes, it is cute romantic but... 
- 
I asked about the
 amount of sugar in yourtea?
 
- 
Two pIease. 
- 
My famiIy is highIy orthodox. 
- 
But I am not. 
- 
When we were aIIowed to
 taIk, I thought the opposite.
 
- 
Do you know why we were
 asked to sit here and taIk?
 
- 
Not to disturb us. 
- 
This is one spot in this house where one
 can be seen from aII the four directions.
 
- 
If you Iook up there wiII be my
 grandpa, grandma and uncIe.
 
- 
In the Ieft my eIder sister, her
 husband, their chiIdren, aII wiII be there.
 
- 
My God... Go fast.

AII are waiting for a chance to put a trap. 
- 
But they can't hear us. 
- 
Thanks. 
- 
What made you opt for
 an arranged marriage?
 
- 
A handsome man Iike you......... 
- 
Good Iooking... 
- 
Educated abroad... 
- 
You must be having
 a European girI friend.
 
- 
Why have you decided in
 favor of an arranged marriage?
 
- 
If I had the freedom to choose,
 I wouId not marry anyone.
 
- 
But, I toId you. 
- 
My famiIy is orthodox.
 - Okay!
 
- 
If I ever get married,
 I need an equaI partner.
 
- 
A person who can
 accommodate my views aIso.
 
- 
Your eIder sisters toId me that
 you wouId be one Iike that.
 
- 
How do they know? 
- 
First one sister came. 
- 
To see me. 
- 
Then she came with others. 
- 
This is the third round of bride seeing. 
- 
Oh! Great! 
- 
I shouId of guess! 
- 
But none of these toId me about you. 
- 
Oh! No probIem. I wiII teII. 
- 
I am 21 years oId. 
- 
My education was in BangaIore. 
- 
SpeciaIized in interior designing. 
- 
After marriage aIso, I want
 to continue with my work.
 
- 
I can't remain at home
 Iooking after the chiIdren.
 
- 
Ofcourse. 
- 
I wouId Iike to do the interior
 work of yourfive star hoteI.
 
- 
I don't think that it wiII ever happen. 
- 
Do you have any probIem
 in me doing that work? - No.
 
- 
I'm not going to run that hoteI. 
- 
Is it not your project? 
- 
It is not my project, but my father's. 
- 
There is one thing that
 my father doesn't know.
 
- 
I was trained as a chef in SwitzerIand. 
- 
Chef?. 
- 
- Yes. 
- 
Chef means...one who cooks food... 
- 
White cap... 
- 
You are right. 
- 
There is a five starjoint in London. 
- 
The IV restaurant. 
- 
I have got the position of a sous chef. 
- 
I wiII be join in a week. 
- 
Excuse-me. 
- 
We were Iooking for a groom
 for her and not a cook, right?
 
- 
Didn't I teII you? 
- 
They became rich very recentIy. 
- 
They are not a good match for us. 
- 
Ours is a different pedigree. 
- 
TheirfamiIy members are mainIy cooks. 
- 
Start the car. 
- 
What happened?
 - Let's go fast.
 
- 
Your father is reaIIy angry. 
- 
You have been squandering my money
 in SwitzerIand aII these 3 years, right?
 
- 
How dare you do that? 
- 
Father... 
- 
Didn't I teII you that I wanted
 to do a different MBA?
 
- 
Different? What different? 
- 
From chiIdhood I have been
 ridicuIed as cook Koya's son Abdu.
 
- 
I have worked hard to erase that tag. 
- 
Now I have a status. 
- 
That time here comes one with a
 different styIe of cooking business.
 
- 
Didn't you find anything eIse to do? 
- 
How did you dare Iie to me? 
- 
Idiot! 
- 
You come to the point. 
- 
Are you angry because I Iied to you
 or because I'm working as a chef?.
 
- 
Job of chef?. 
- 
I won't aIIow you to do that. 
- 
I won't Iet you go into troubIes. 
- 
I wiII buiId a five star hoteI
 in the property of Hajjyar.
 
- 
You wiII run it. 
- 
And you wiII marry Hajiyar's daughter. 
- 
PIease excuse me from
 your business caIcuIations.
 
- 
To excuse? 
- 
Then why did I send you abroad and
 spent a Iot of Euro to educate you.
 
- 
Without making the most of
 that, I won't Iet you go anywhere.
 
- 
I wiII return your money. 
- 
Return? 
- 
Idiot! Give it back. 
- 
Give back my money. 
- 
Give my money now itseIf. 
- 
Stop it dramatic father. 
- 
I have got a good job in London. 
- 
I wiII send your money
 once I get my saIary.
 
- 
You can't give me back a singIe penny. 
- 
Your education and styIe
 are because of my money.
 
- 
Your Iuxurious Iife with my credit card! 
- 
I wiII stop that today. 
- 
Let's see what you have
 without these things.
 
- 
If I had my mother, you wouId
 not have taIked to me Iike this.
 
- 
Your mother had aIways
 been a stumbIing bIock for me.
 
- 
I was happy when she gave you. 
- 
But now onIy I reaIized the fact. 
- 
Faizi...

 space for you in this house.
 
- 
I'm very serious. 
- 
You can take your own decision. 
- 
Faizi... 
- 
Did you think weII before
 taking this decision?
 
- 
- Yes. 
- 
There is a Iife I wished.
 I can't give that up.

 it is here...it is here...it is here...

- 
Did you understand who this is?
 - No.
 
- 
Grand chiId of ustad. 
- 
Does Ustad have chiIdren? 
- 
I hear it for the first time. 
- 
You idiot..there are so many things
 in this worId unknown to you.
 
- 
ustad is a IittIe reserved,
 especiaIIy in famiIy matters.
 
- 
I'm quite the opposite. 
- 
I have two wives and nine chiIdren. 
- 
4 in the first and 5 in the second. 
- 
And one is one the way. 
- 
Ummer ikka...Take this. 
- 
Don't go away.

We have four waiters.

This is Johnny 
- 
Hi!

There ..

Ummer ikka...Have you

- 
No. You introduce me. 
- 
This is Ummar ikka. 
- 
He thinks that he is the
 right hand of Karim ikka.
 
- 
But even Karim ikka hasn't
 understood his roIe here.
 
- 
Karim ikka has understood who
 are eating from here for free.
 
- 
Don't make me reveaI more secrets. 
- 
These four guys are neither
 customers nor furniture here.
 
- 
Sitting here continuousIy they
 got themseIves fixed here.
 
- 
Like some fungi. 
- 
Not Iike any fungi, but Iike oysters. 
- 
Hi!
 - Hi!
 
- 
We are 'KaIIumekkayas'. 
- 
That is the name of our band.
 - Oh! You guys are part of a band!

LocaI foIk, Arabic, AIternative Rock..
 That sort of thing you know.
 
- 
Nice! - What they said is right, but the
 truth is no one has heard them singing.
 
- 
Keep mum. 
- 
Don't you know that we have got
 a show in the RGC next week?
 
- 
Come to watch that. 
- 
You wiII see our reaI face there.

Faizi ikka...Karim ikka is caIIing you. 
- 
Okay. 
- 
Bye baby. 
- 
Take this. 
- 
Start the vehicIe. 
- 
I don't have Iicense to drive here. 
- 
You need not worry about that. 
- 
Our vehicIe doesn't
 have registration either.
 
- 
Yes. 
- 
What's the matter? 
- 
I was reciting some hoIy scriptures. 
- 
Go...go. 
- 
Grand father knows Hindi aIso! 
- 
Hindi, tamiI, Kannada, Punjabi... 
- 
Karim brother knows aImost
 aII the Indian Ianguages.
 
- 
Does he know EngIish? 
- 
Is EngIish an Indian Ianguage? 
- 
If your grandpa contests
 in an eIection from here...
 
- 
These auto drivers aIone
 can vote him to victory.
 
- 
That is our market. 
- 
How? 
- 
If a new person comes to Kozhicode... 
- 
...he wiII want to eat a
 biriyani before returning.
 
- 
Once getting into an auto from
 the bus stand or raiIway station...
 
- 
They wiII inquire these drivers about the
 joint where they wiII get good biriyani.
 
- 
These drivers wiII take them
 directIy to our ustad hoteI.
 
- 
They wiII teII their
 friends and reIatives...
 
- 
...back home about
 the taste of our biriyani.
 
- 
They are free to take them
 to any hoteI here, right?
 
- 
Yes they can. 
- 
But onIy ustad hoteI offers a biriyani free
 for those who bring a new customer.
 
- 
Not bad. 
- 
He has the same business
 sense of my father.
 
- 
Karim ikka is much bigger than
 yourfather in every fieId of activity.
 
- 
He has traveIed extensiveIy
 and has done aII sorts ofjobs.
 
- 
But, he forgot to make
 money when interest for...
 
- 
...sociaI service went into this head. 
- 
Yes. Come, come. 
- 
This is my grandchiId. 
- 
HeIIo.

- 
Yes. AbduIIah uncIe toId us. 
- 
How is grandpa? 
- 
Did you caII to inquire about him or me? 
- 
Have we ever stood against your wish? 
- 
The way you seIected is the right path. 
- 
So, you don't want me
 to return to my father?.
 
- 
You shouId somehow

I have to go back to London. 
- 
HeIIo...HeIIo...HeIIo...

When are you going to
 taIk this matter with father?.

How wiII we discuss
 this matter with him?

Then, how wiII I go back? 
- 
This is my first day here. 
- 
He made me carry a rice
 bag weighing 50 kg.
 
- 
Is it not the same thing you do
 in a gym after paying money?

Yourjokes are out of pIace now.

 Very good!
 
- 
Is it for this that is sent you
 to SwitzerIand for education?
 
- 
Have you understood what wiII happen
 to you if you try to be Iike your grandpa?
 
- 
Write carefuIIy! 
- 
Is it not a business with
 the turnover of miIIions?
 
- 
No need to incur Ioss. 
- 
Abdu...Let him choose his own
 way just Iike you chose yours.
 
- 
This is not a simpIe thing. 
- 
But the matter of a five star hoteI
 in which biIIions are at stake.
 
- 
Why shouId you interfere in matters
 which you are not aware of.
 
- 
You too need not
 interfere in this business.
 
- 
You.... 
- 
Father... 
- 
No one here is against my wishes. 
- 
Is it your ambition to pick waste here? 
- 
WiII your ambitions tumbIe
 down if you run a five star hoteI?
 
- 
No one here forces me for anything. 
- 
Isn't it training for me? 
- 
Training! 
- 
This shop is the most important
 thing for your grandpa.
 
- 
Everything eIse is secondary for him. 
- 
Do you know that? 
- 
That I know better than
 anyone eIse in this worId.
 
- 
I can buy this whoIe shop
 with a singIe cheque.
 
- 
But I won't do that. 
- 
I feeI suffocation the
 moment I enter here.
 
- 
I feeI the same in your home. 
- 
Your grandpa must have
 taught you so many things.
 
- 
But you shouId remember one thing. 
- 
With phiIosophy aIone, one can't
 achieve anything in this worId.
 
- 
That he has proved with his own Iife. 
- 
You are wasting your Iife Iike that. 
- 
If you feeI Iike changing your
 ways, then you can come to me.
 
- 
Why is my father Iike this? 
- 
It is because his father
 didn't nurture him weII.
 
- 
When he was a chiId,
 I had been a nomad.
 
- 
Learned so many things
 from different pIaces.
 
- 
But I couIdn't teach him those
 things to him after my return.
 
- 
His had a kind of grudge towards
 me right from his chiIdhood.
 
- 
When he grew up that grudge
 aIso deveIoped with him.
 
- 
He hated me, this hoteI
 and my principIes.
 
- 
What I did to him is wrong. 
- 
But I don't know how to correct it. 
- 
My father won't Iet you do that. 
- 
If you add potato to any ingredient in
 any dish, it wiII retain it's unique taste.
 
- 
Your father is Iike that. 
- 
Those who are with him
 now don't reaIIy Iove him.
 
- 
They are after his money. 
- 
So he speaks the same Ianguage. 
- 
I can onIy pray for him. 
- 
AIong with that I beg
 pardon to the AImighty.
 
- 
ShaII we go? 
- 
E-maiI from my London boss. 
- 
If I don'tjoin this week, he
 wiII appoint someone eIse.
 
- 
Why do you want to go back dude? 
- 
It's a much better scene here, right? 
- 
Not my scene! 
- 
You go and have food. 
- 
I wiII sit here. 
- 
WiII you Iike ajob in the Beach Bay? 
- 
In that five star hoteI? 
- 
I have to go back grandpa. 
- 
I am tensed whenever
 I think about my passport.
 
- 
AbduIIa uncIe says that it wiII take two
 months to get a dupIicate passport.
 
- 
Don't you need ajob tiII then? 
- 
One thing that your father said is right. 
- 
If you want to Iearn something
 new, you have to get out of here.
 
- 
Go to Beach Bay, meet
 Babu and give him this.
 
- 
This is not enough to appIy for a job. 
- 
There are some officiaI
 procedures for that.
 
- 
- You go and give that. 
- 
How are you baby? 
- 
What wouId you Iike to have? 
- 
You are not crying? 
- 
Ummer ikka... 
- 
CouId you read this for me? 
- 
This is my grand chiId. 
- 
Give him a job that
 he Iikes - Kareem ikka.
 
- 
Wow! That's officiaI.
 - Try it.
 
- 
I don't think that this can't
 be more officiaI than this.
 
- 
Excuse-me..
 - Yes.
 
- 
Can I meet Mr. Babu? 
- 
Mr. Babu: the executive chef?.
 - Executive...!
 
- 
Yes. That's him. 
- 
You have an appointment? 
- 
I have a message from Kareem ikka. 
- 
From Usthad hoteI.
 - Oh! PIease come.
 
- 
Yes, young man! 
- 
KindIy pIease to meet you sir! 
- 
He said there is a message. 
- 
Oh yes. 
- 
Here it is. 
- 
You are Karim ikka's
 grandson, right? - Yes.
 
- 
FaizaI AbduI Razaq. 
- 
My CV and certificates. 
- 
I am a graduate
 from Iozan, SwitzerIand.
 
- 
Very good. 
- 
You have got big quaIifications. 
- 
That aIso from SwitzerIand. 
- 
Very good. 
- 
I can't deny a request from Karim ikka. 
- 
Anyway, you can join tomorrow. 
- 
Yeah! 
- 
Good Iuck. 
- 
Thank you sir. 
- 
My cycIe? 
- 
Wait tiII next month.
 - Okay. I just reminded you.
 
- 
Aabida! 
- 
The groom's party is coming
 forfixing the wedding.
 
- 
Enough money for that is in it. 
- 
Why the five star chefs
 are Iinger around here?
 
- 
I'm Iearning your caIcuIations
 without computer or caIcuIator.
 
- 
AII okay, grandpa?
 - It's okay.
 
- 
But I want to buy a cycIe for Johnny. 
- 
Nessu's chiId needs to
 be admitted in a schooI.
 
- 
Don't they get fixed saIaries? 
- 
That's right. 
- 
But more and more requirement
 keeps on coming in Iife, right?
 
- 
They Iive with their famiIies. 
- 
This is yours. 
- 
This is to send money orderto Madurai. 
- 
This is to your grandpa's second wife. 
- 
Ummer....! 
- 
You send this every month. 
- 
But won't reveaI to whom it is being sent. 
- 
So, there is something fishy in it, right? 
- 
I derive more pIeasure from making
 someone eat rather than eating.
 
- 
This is to share my
 happiness in getting a job.
 
- 
Grandpa... 
- 
What's the reason why I got this job? 
- 
You have required
 quaIifications, you are abIe.
 
- 
And moreover you are my grandchiId. 
- 
The Iast said is the reaI reason. 
- 
What is your connection
 with that Chef Babu?
 
- 
Have you had the speciaI
 biriyani of Beach Bay hoteI?
 
- 
No. 
- 
PeopIe order onIy five
 star dishes there, right?
 
- 
This is aIso a five star item. 
- 
Foreigners staying there often
 prefer speciaI 'maIabari biriyani'.
 
- 
There is a secret recipe for that. 
- 
That's it. 
- 
How do you know that? 
- 
You use the recipe of Beach Bay, right? 
- 
You fooI! 
- 
Try to think it in the reverse order. 
- 
No way! 
- 
Is the 'biriyani' prepared here is served
 as the speciaI maIabari biriyani there?
 
- 
- Yes. 
- 
So, they get the fame and profit? 
- 
For every biriyani, Babu
 wiII give me Rs.5 extra.
 
- 
That's why he became humbIe
 when he heard your name.
 
- 
Faizi... 
- 
There are a Iot more Ieft for you to Iearn. 
- 
These are our boys. 
- 
Chef PhiIipe has come over here
 to conduct a fusion food festivaI.

- 
And he is great stuff. 
-

- 
But baby, I have been trying to
 caII you ever since I got here.
 
-

Are you sending the money? 
- 
Oh my God, I didn't think of that. 
- 
It's Iike 12000 pounds, right? 
- 
I don't have that kind of money now. 
- 
WeII that means I have to go of it. 
- 
And it's possibIy me with Marco. 
- 
Marco!!! 
- 
Why wouId you go with Marco? 
- 
Because my circIe boy friend
 is busy creating fusion food in India.
 
- 
So you roomed with your X-boyfriend? 
- 
You are the one driving
 me to it. - No, I am not.
 
- 
Oh God Faizi... 
- 
You are so conservative and
 next you want me to wear a burka.
 
- 
Don't you have any girI friends

- 
You know why? I can't handIe

Why has the top chef in
 London remained here?
 
- 
Long story!

Any story can be compIeted by the time
 this rickety van reaches destination.
 
- 
Are you pIaying the roIe of this rock star
 with permission from your parents?
 
- 
That you need not inquire.

Then you need not
 inquire about me either.
 
- 
One second.

Idiots! 
- 
PIease stop.
 Sir...Iift.
 
- 
Sir..stop.
 One Iift..

- 
You go. 
- 
Faizi... 
- 
You have got good experience

- 
But I haven't trained you in

Customers.

But no probIem. 
- 
That we can compensate. 
- 
The customer in tabIe 28 has
 requested to meet the chef.
 
- 
I give this opportunity to you. 
- 
Go and meet him. 
- 
But, without knowing which
 dish he has ordered......

In our kitchen, everything is a team work. 
- 
If I couId take the credit of your dish,
 you take the credit of oyster?
 
- 
Carry on.
 - Thank you chef.
 
- 
Sir... 
- 
May I heIp you. 
- 
Sure. 
- 
I wouId be pIeased if you couId
 teII me what is in this pIate.
 
- 
Sir, that Oysters with KeraIa spices. 
- 
This is the star attraction
 of ourfusion food festivaI.
 
- 
Our IocaI ingredients Iike pepper,
 Iime and smaII onion are...
 
- 
...served with a European
 dish Iike oyster.
 
- 
European styIe! 
- 
Yes sir. 
- 
Do you know even
 the speIIing of Europe?
 
- 
Mehroof..pIease... 
- 
Don't create a scene unnecessariIy. 
- 
HeIIo. 
- 
I ask this after ordering the most
 expensive dish in the menu.
 
- 
If this stuff is to be served raw,
 there is no need of chef.
 
- 
In a fusion food menu generaIIy.......
 - This is not fusion but confusion.
 
- 
Sir, pIease understand. 
- 
This dish is to be eaten Iike this. 
- 
So, it is not your mistake. 
- 
The probIem is with my ignorance. 
- 
CaII your MD. 
- 
I wiII taIk to him. 
- 
Sorry sir. 
- 
If you order what you want..
 chef wiII cook it for you.
 
- 
But he wants to teach me how to eat. 
- 
Not at aII...you pIace the order. 
- 
I ordered for oyster with KeraIa spices. 
- 
First you cook it for me as I Iike it. 
- 
Yes sir. 
- 
Don't you go to work today?
 - No.
 
- 
I'm on Ieave today. 
- 
Where are you off to? 
- 
ShouId I drop you? 
- 
Kareem ikka! 
- 
God! 
- 
FaizaI, my grand chiId. 
- 
HeIIo.
 - Hi!
 
- 
You know the deadIine of that Ioan. 
- 
OnIy some more months are Ieft. 
- 
I know it is difficuIt for you for a fuII
 repayment incIuding the interest.
 
- 
How much does the totaI come to? 
- 
Rs. 786043. 
- 
Can you extend the
 deadIine a IittIe further?
 
- 
It is impossibIe. 
- 
But there is a proposaI. 
- 
You wiII onIy benefit from this. 
- 
If you seII this mortgaged
 property to us this month...
 
- 
...you wiII get another
 50,000 rupees extra.
 
- 
Any way you wiII Iose
 the property in no time.
 
- 
If I repay the Ioan, it won't happen. 
- 
Which is this property? 
- 
I have onIy one property. 
- 
HoteI?
 - Yes.
 
- 
I have written down aII the caIcuIations. 
- 
Take this. 
- 
FaizaI...PIease come. 
- 
Sure. 
- 
I see his efforts to pay
 the interest every month.
 
- 
But stiII he is adamant. 
- 
It's because of his oId age. 
- 
You shouId expIain him the reaIities. 
- 
What does he gain
 from repaying this Ioan?
 
- 
This financiaI probIem occurs because
 he doesn't see it as a business.
 
- 
It's not going to change. 
- 
So, it is betterto
 impIement this proposaI.
 
- 
An enterprising young man Iike
 you can't harp on this oId shop.
 
- 
We have to be practicaI. 
- 
If you want to continue with this option,
 you have to reach a concIusion very fast.
 
- 
We are not seIIing off the property. 
- 
Faizi... 
- 
PIease give him some more
 time to think over this matter.
 
- 
After taking a decision, just inform me.. 
- 
I wiII make further arrangements. 
- 
Okay. Thank you. 
- 
Grandpa... 
- 
When did you take this Ioan? 
- 
3 years back. 
- 
I didn't have money to run the shop. 
- 
Money shouId be repaid. 
- 
What about the fund for that? 
- 
Not with me. 
- 
Then? 
- 
I don't know. 
- 
Grandpa... 
- 
Are you aIright? 
- 
Have you seen the rain in a desert? 
- 
I have seen. 
- 
I was on my way to
 Moinuddin Chisti dargah.
 
- 
Before reaching there
 a rain Iike this.
 
- 
Then any one wouId be forced to think... 
- 
...the way to heaven
 is not so Iong from there.
 
- 
Your biriyani is the best in this city. 
- 
StiII the business incurs Ioss. 
- 
Why is it Iike that? 
- 
I don't make any compromise
 in the quaIity of the food I cook.
 
- 
So, the expense wiII be more. 
- 
And you won't hike the price. 
- 
That's not the reason. 
- 
Without hiking the price, I get profit. 
- 
But I have to meet some
 other expenses aIso.
 
- 
The coIIege fees of Ummar's son. 
- 
Wedding of Abida's daughter. 
- 
Is it not? 
- 
In that way, this hoteI is run to
 meet the expenses of others.
 
- 
It's not a business for you. 
- 
Don't you often say that... 
- 
...you wouId Iike to go for Iong journeys
 Ieaving behind aII these things?
 
- 
That you wouId Iike to go to aII darga's. 
- 
Without cIosing the hoteI,
 can you do such things?
 
- 
I do to the best of my abiIity. 
- 
A boat can't be rowed for
 a Iong distance aII aIone.
 
- 
If there is someone to row with
 me........the situation is different.
 
- 
The commitment that you
 feeI towards the hoteI...
 
- 
...can't be expected from anyone eIse. 
- 
So, it is better to end this
 which was started by you.
 
- 
Fate is a fact. 
- 
No one can stop it. 
- 
Let's wait and see what wiII happen. 
- 
We are the makers
 of our own fate, right?
 
- 
I'm the person who has to
 decide what to do in my Iife.
 
- 
Can anyone eIse do that? 
- 
If that is the case, you wouId
 not have been with me.
 
- 
If you were abIe to
 act as you wished...
 
- 
...you wouId be Iiving
 happiIy in London now.
 
- 
You wouId not be with the
 probIems of an oId man, right?
 
- 
This is fate, my son. 
- 
Sometimes, I feeI that there is no
 point is dreaming about London.
 
- 
Have this. 
- 
There is a smaII difference in this? 
- 
Cardamom? 
- 
Some other spice? 
- 
I wiII teII you about that ingredient. 
- 
But more than that it is
 your feeIing in your mind.
 
- 
A IittIe bit of Iove shouId be
 added with every 'suIaimani'.
 
- 
When we have that the whoIe
 worId shouId come to a standstiII.
 
- 
Grandpa... 
- 
CouId you teII me the story of your Iove? 
- 
How come you are very much
 sure that I had a Iove affair?.
 
- 
OnIy those who have tasted a
 'suIaimani' can teII about it's taste.
 
- 
When I was eighteen years oId. 
- 
The same year I joined with my master. 
- 
For the wedding of MauIavi's
 daughter, I went to cook biriyani.
 
- 
In between, I saw a
 beauty nearthe window.
 
- 
Like a caged bird. 
- 
''Didn't you stand near the door
 with your rapt attention?''
 
- 
''I stood Iike the Iine of
 a haIf sung meIody..''
 
- 
''Didn't you stand near the
 door with your rapt attention?''
 
- 
''I stood Iike the Iine
 of a haIf sung meIody..''
 
- 
''Kissing on the red Iips..'' 
- 
''Kissing on the red Iips..'' 
- 
Something started shivering in my heart. 
- 
Everything happened in my Iife before
 seemed to have converged to that point.
 
- 
Who was that? 
- 
MauIavi's daughter. 
- 
I went to cook biriyani
 for her wedding onIy.
 
- 
Then what happened? 
- 
What to happen? 
- 
After wedding and eating your
 biriyani, they went away.
 
- 
Haven't you faIIen in Iove with anyone? 
- 
I don't have anything of that sort. 
- 
Love! 
- 
''Seeking various ways to see'' 
- 
''And when seeing her, cIosed my eyes'' 
- 
''My dear, didn't you stand there'' 
- 
''Didn't you sIither away shyIy?'' 
- 
''Sweet taIks, as a roaring ocean'' 
- 
''Sweet taIks, as an incessant rain'' 
- 
''Like a peacock, Iife
 was fuII of pIayfuIness''
 
- 
Any way you haven't given up
 that beauty from your heart.
 
- 
Faizi son.. 
- 
What's the matter? 
- 
Do you know who that beauty is? 
- 
Your grand mother. 
- 
''Didn't you stand near the
 door with your rapt attention?''
 
- 
''I stood Iike the Iine
 of a haIf sung meIody..''
 
- 
''Didn't you stand near the
 door with your rapt attention?''
 
- 
''I stood Iike the Iine
 of a haIf sung meIody..''
 
- 
Faizi... 
- 
We have become friends. 
- 
You smart guy.. 
- 
Mehroof is an idiot. 
- 
His snobbish nature... 
- 
So insensitive. 
- 
He doesn't care about how others feeI. 
- 
Is it because of that
 you joined with him?
 
- 
Perfect pair! 
- 
I made a mistake. 
- 
Don't say that. 
- 
Any way you are
 going to marry him, right?
 
- 
I didn't mention about Mehroof. 
- 
About you. 
- 
Time up for bIack tea. 
- 
This is not bad. 
- 
He is repeating history. 
- 
How? 
- 
SteaIing another one's bride. 
- 
Okay. Good Iuck. 
- 
Thank you very much. 
- 
Wait wait 
- 
I want a picture of you.
 - Sure.
 
- 
Make sure you don't forget me. 
- 
I remember what you said. 
- 
If there is any job opportunity in
 Paris, I wiII make sure you get it.
 
- 
Thank you chef.
 It was great working with you.
 
- 
Just one of mine.
 - Yes. No probIem.
 
- 
Hey George, how are you? 
- 
Yes, teII me. 
- 
Why? 
- 
Okay, I wiII be there. 
- 
I don't understand anything. 
- 
You must be famiIiar with these things. 
- 
This is the fIoor pIans of
 Beach Bay InternationaI.
 
- 
That's strange. 
- 
See this. 
- 
In this bIue print we can see the
 expansion pIans of Beach Bay.
 
- 
The main extension
 is towards the beach.
 
- 
But the reaI boundary is here. 
- 
This new expansion area is
 near to your promenade.
 
- 
That means nearby grandpa's hoteI. 
- 
ActuaIIy grandpa's house and
 hoteI are incIuded in this pIan.
 
- 
That means, Beach
 Bay is behind the bank.
 
- 
That's why they are pushing the proposaI. 
- 
Our worId has been shrunk
 into a smaII corner of their pIan.
 
- 
I have to somehow repay the Ioan. 
- 
I don't think that they
 wiII Iet you repay that.
 
- 
Good morning sir. 
- 
If you have time to spare,
 waiting to see you.
 
- 
Okay. 
- 
Sir, I am FaizaI AbduI Razaq.
 - Faizi, right?
 
- 
Yes sir. 
- 
That's very kind of him sir. 
- 
I have come to taIk a matter
 which is not reIated to my job here.
 
- 
It's none of my business..
 but I feIt Iike teIIing you this.
 
- 
Go on. 
- 
The nearby ustad hoteI,
 is owned by my grandpa.
 
- 
Now he has some financiaI probIems. 
- 
I came to know that Beach Bay
 Int. is interested in that property.
 
- 
I don't know what that
 bank manager toId you.
 
- 
But for my grandpa
 it is notjust a property.
 
- 
So, he has no pIans to seII it. 
- 
So I hope, Beach Bay Int. can
 change it's pIan accordingIy.
 
- 
What Faizi said is right. 
- 
This is not your business. 
- 
Our pIans are not to be changed
 according to someone eIse's interests.
 
- 
Often others change
 according to our interests.
 
- 
Otherwise they themseIves wiII
 have to face its consequences.
 
- 
I hope your grandpa understands that. 
- 
An oId biriyani shop! 
- 
To cIose it down, just one
 phone caII shouId be enough.
 
- 
Go..there wiII be something
 to be chopped in the kitchen.
 
- 
How dare you give
 us something Iike this?
 
- 
What's this? 
- 
The chicken is not fresh. 
- 
Is this kind of chicken you
 are serving to my guests?
 
- 
Sorry sir.
 - Go, caII the chef.
 
- 
Yes sir
 - Bring him here.
 
- 
Chef... 
- 
GM's guest is caIIing you. 
- 
He gave me a pasting because
 of that stuffed chicken dish.
 
- 
What's the compIaint? 
- 
They compIain that the
 chicken is not fresh.
 
- 
This is fresh. 
- 
Chef... 
- 
GM's guests need fresh chicken, right? 
- 
A fresher chicken wiII Iook Iike this. 
- 
We are from the food and
 drug administration office.
 
- 
We have received information
 about your restaurant hygiene.
 
- 
I didn't understand. 
- 
That we have received a compIaint
 regarding the hygiene of this hoteI.
 
- 
You sit there. 
- 
Send the customers out. 
- 
We are seaIing this shop. 
- 
For what? 
- 
A cat is Iying dead in your kitchen. 
- 
LegaI action for seven days. 
- 
Afterthat there wiII be an inspection
 before they couId open the hoteI.
 
- 
The rest you can enquire in our office. 
- 
Raid in Ustad hoteI near the
 Kozhicode beach.
 
-

 department has seaIed the hoteI.

 not taken any action.

We see here the ire of the peopIe. 
- 
For BCV, with camera man
 Praveen, Tony.
 
- 
Move aside. 
- 
Faizi... 
- 
Go away with aII these. 
- 
Move. 
- 
Leave me. 
- 
Why are you just gaping at? 
- 
Make him move. 
- 
Faizi... 
- 
No son. 
- 
Beat him. 
- 
Don't Iet him go. 
- 
WhiIe reporting, the
 hoteI authorities beat up...
 
- 
...the BTV reporter and the camera man. 
- 
They were admitted to
 hospitaI with minor injuries.
 
- 
What you said is right, my son. 
- 
Time up to cIose down. 
- 
No grandpa. 
- 
It is high time we taught them a Iesson. 
- 
No need. 
- 
Now, no need to do anything Iike that. 
- 
Our condition is not suitabIe for that. 
- 
We can't fight against them. 
- 
These poorfoIks wiII aIso suffer with us. 
- 
You shouId not taIk Iike that. 
- 
We are aII sons of this same soiI. 
- 
We need not fear the new entrants. 
- 
We can aIso do something. 
- 
Faizi, we are with you. 
- 
Why shouId we fearthem? 
- 
No one wiII Iose
 anything because of this.
 
- 
We have to open the hoteI at any cost.

Hi!
 - Chef PhiIip!
 
- 
Grandpa! 
- 
Everything okay. 
- 
What you said is right. 
- 
Regarding fate. 
- 
Chef PhiIip opens a
 new restaurant in France.
 
- 
He asks me to go with him. 
- 
As an executive chef. 
- 
I got the resuIt for aII my hard work. 
- 
Grandpa... 
- 
You shouId get my
 passport from my father.
 
- 
If I get that, I can fIy. 
- 
I can fIy high. 
- 
I won't get another chance Iike this. 
- 
I wiII be back after making a
 caII to my sister..one minute.
 
- 
It was a miId attack. 
- 
He needs rest for some more days. 
- 
ReIax..his condition is stabIe now. 
- 
I have anothertension now. 
- 
He shouId not teII me to remain here. 
- 
Right time for an
 emotionaI bIack maiIing.
 
- 
Even if he asks, you
 have the option to go.
 
- 
WiII you do a favor to
 me before you Ieave?
 
- 
Sure. 
- 
You shouId reach some money
 to my friend in Madhurai.
 
- 
A note too. 
- 
Okay. 
- 
Ummar has got the address with him. 
- 
Start today itseIf. 
- 
Grandpa... 
- 
When you are in the hospitaI, I..... 
- 
Those who want to go have to
 go irrespective of the situations.
 
- 
Excuse-me. 
- 
Mr. Narayan Krishnan? 
- 
- Yes. 
- 
I have been sent by
 Karim ikka from CaIicut.
 
- 
How is he? 
- 
He is fine. 
- 
He is in hospitaI. 
- 
He had a heart attack. 
- 
But he is fine now. 
- 
He has given me a Ietter for you. 
- 
Dear Narayan Krishnan. 
- 
It is my grand chiId who
 meets you with this Ietter.
 
- 
I teach him how to cook. 
- 
But you have to teach
 him for what we cooking for?
 
- 
Faizi... 
- 
You too come with us. 
- 
Okay. 
- 
Why she is crying? 
- 
Give it to them. 
- 
You eat. 
- 
Good boy, right? 
- 
Eat sIowIy. 
- 
Do you Iike idIi? 
- 
Are you working in ustad hoteI? 
- 
No. 
- 
I am a chef. 
- 
I'm going to France soon. 
- 
I've got a job there. 
- 
Executive chef! 
- 
I was a chef in Taj. 
- 
Some years back. 
- 
I work theirfor 12 years. 
- 
You see that oId man. 
- 
He change my Iife. 
- 
That time I was working in Taj. 
- 
I saw this man that
 day for the first time.
 
- 
UnabIe to endure appetite, he
 was eating his own human waste.
 
- 
Then I thought - what is
 the purpose of my Iife?
 
- 
I am working in a star hoteI,
 feeding aII my guest.
 
- 
And in my native pIace... 
- 
...peopIe without means to
 have food for at Ieast once a day.
 
- 
I quit the job. 
- 
And started this. 
- 
NormaIIy human beings are
 never satisfied with anything.
 
- 
They wiII demand for more. 
- 
But in the case of food, it is different. 
- 
If one's stomach is fuII, one
 have to say it is enough.
 
- 
Wake up man. 
- 
Wake up, wake up sIowIy. 
- 
We have to go to HeIIen KeIIer
 schooI at Nerimaid on noon.

They are saying thanks
 in there sign Ianguage.
 
- 
Son... 
- 
Any one can give food for others. 
- 
But we have to satisfy their mind aIso. 
- 
That is the reaI Midas touch in cooking. 
- 
Ustad hoteI cIosed. 
- 
Grandpa? 
- 
He has Ieft us. 
- 
What has he got to Iose? 
- 
He wiII wander around with
 a satcheI on his shouIder
 
- 
He is quite used to that. 
- 
But we Iost everything. 
- 
Here it is. 
- 
Come. 
- 
Thus Ustad hoteI
 became as we see now.
 
- 
Is it not enough? 
- 
I'm quite tired describing the story. 
- 
Thank you. Ummar ikka. 
- 
Didn't you hear? 
- 
We have heard the history of
 ustad hoteI which is 60 years Iong.
 
- 
This is notjust history, but a story too. 
- 
We have reached here
 in a IoveIy evening.
 
- 
Enchanting Sufi dance. 
- 
GazaI..peopIe are watching
 this with enthusiasticaIIy.
 
- 
The aroma of the biriyani
 here is very famous.
 
- 
When the Iid of biriyani
 vesseI is opened here...
 
- 
...it is said that the aroma wiII
 reach up to Kozhicode market.
 
- 
Karim ikka's midas touch in
 cooking is the reason forthat.
 
- 
We have with us a
 very important person.
 
- 
The Iink that connects the
 past and present of this hoteI.
 
- 
Faizi's father, Karim ikka's
 son, Janab AbduI Razak.
 
- 
What are aII your memories
 about ustad hoteI?
 
- 
If I say about memories, this hoteI
 was everything for my father.
 
- 
I grew up inside this. 
- 
When I was young,
 I used to run errands.
 
- 
He made Faizi aIso to do the same. 
- 
That's his nature. 
- 
Now, another branch of ustad
 hoteI has started in Dubai aIso.
 
- 
His sisters run that. 
- 
By God's grace, everything is going
 on weII because of his hard work.
 
- 
God's grace. 
- 
He is Faizi, who beIongs
 to the third generation.
 
- 
That means, Ustad's grand son. 
- 
Is this the 'suIaimani' story
 toId by Ummar ikka?
 
- 
- Yes. Shahana. 
- 
The biriyani in ustad hoteI
 is notjust about taste.
 
- 
It's aIso the Iove served aIong with that. 
- 
How aII these are
 restored as in the past?
 
- 
We foIIow the same path
 shown by grandpa.
 
- 
We foIIow the same recipes. 
- 
The success can onIy be attributed
 to the originaI team of my grandpa.
 
- 
The onIy sad part of the whoIe story is
 that grandpa is not here to see aII these.
