Original subtitles

Faizi's story had started even before he was born.

Is it?

Praise to God!

At last I have got a son.

He will be a handsome guy.

I will christen him as Faizal.

I will call him Faizi.

He will inherit all the wealth I make.

That's why I said Faizi's story had started long before he was born.

In those 9 months Abdul Razak bought everything for Fareeda.

She had been so dear to him those days.

At last that long awaited day came.

Girl child!

She was named Fathima.

They started preparing for the next baby so that...

...Abdul Razak wanted Faizi at the earliest.

Thus Fareeda gave birth to another baby.

Don't cry.

Boy or girl? - Girl!

She was named Fousia.

Fareeda reached the labor room next year also.

Girl child!

God!

Her name was Firoza.

The following year same place, same time.

God! Give me a son this time.

Girl!

Her name was Fazeeha.

With the expansion of family, Abdul Razak's business also expanded.

Fareeda became pregnant again after two years.

But this time, Abdul Razak set off to Dubai...

...by the time, Fareeda was to deliver.

Is here any relative of Fareeda?

They are asking for Fareeda's relatives.

Boy or girl? - Boy.

Praise to God! Boy child!

God answered the call.

Aren't you Abdu?

Praise to God!

When I was thinking that all are part of a dream, my Faizi came.

Praise to God!

Fareeda's health failed because of continues deliveries.

She passed away.

Faizi's mother left 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 for the first time.

"USTHAD HOTEL"

Abdul Razak took his children to Dubai after Fareeda's death.

Come.

Like that...

His sisters brought him up where there is no mother.

He grew up in their world, dreams and in that kitchen.

They tried their level 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 like 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 marriageable age...

...Abdul Razak found out grooms for them in Dubai itself.

At last, Faizi became lonely in that big house.

This is your new mother.

Take a look at these.

Read them carefully.

Then, you can decide where to join for MBA.

I have plans to enter some new business fields along with you.

Read.

Have you taken a decision? UK or US?

I went through all those.

What's the point in going to UK or US forjust another ordinary MBA.

Only if I do something different, it will be useful for your business.

- Yes.

There is a good course in Switzerland.

In a hotel management institute.

I would like to join there.

Now a days tourism is a highly sought after area.

Tourism..hotel management...not bad.

Can we start a five star hotel if you do such courses?

Of course.

We have to move along with the changing times, right? - Yes.

Else what is the use?

We have to think a little bit differently.

What you said is right.

Moreover, others should follow Abdul Razak and not vice versa.

I agree.

When you return, we can start a five star hotel of our own.

People once called me the son of a cook. Now my son should make...

...the same people address me as the owner of a five star hotel.

Ok?

Things are going to be worse.

After finishing his course in Switzerland Faizi has found a job in London.

He and his girlfriend plan to buy a house in London.

What's wrong with him?

Didn't he get a fairer girl?

Listen.

Do you know his present demand?

We should tell father that he won't be returning home.

My God once father comes to know this, he will be finished.

If we go to tell this, we will be finished.

Don't frighten us.

Try to find a plan to overcome the situation.

We should bring him back without letting father know anything.

Will there is any problem for him to come to our home directly from airport?

No way. My son won't disobey me.

Not only that.

Before others in my own family come up with a proposal, we have to fix this.

Any family will wish to have Faizal as their groom.

From a wealthy family, education from abroad...

and as handsome as Mammootty.

Faizi...

Son...

Father, greetings. - Greetings.

What an appearance is this!

This is Kallummathodiyil Hajiyar.

He will be an important person for you in the future. - Greetings.

Hi...

Sorry.

Come.

You come with Abdullah by that car. - Okay father.

Abdhullahkka... - Yes?

Who are these people? - They've come with a marriage proposal for you

What?

Yes. Get in.

Some are waiting to talk to you.

Ethathas(sister's) and company!

Groom! Are you going to see the bride without informing us?

So, you are behind this, right?

Haven't I told you about Christina? Then, why should you unnecessarily...

We know all such things. But there is no harm in just meeting her.

Give me that.

Don't agree to the relationship all of a sudden...it's not good for our status.

That won't happen.

Is it for this that you all wanted me to come home immediately?

If I knew it before, I would have brought her with me.

Don't make trouble.

We were relieved only when Abdullah uncle told us there is no one with you.

She will be coming in the next flight.

Hello...

Hello...

Hello...

Hello.

I was just kidding.

She has gone to Spain to spend her holidays.

Our flat in London will be ready within 10 days.

By that time, both of us should reach there.

Faizi...Why didn't you find a better looking woman?

This is like a trans-gender..

Greetings... - Greetings...

Come in son.

Greetings... - Greetings... - How was the journey? - It was good.

Shahana...

Come Razak.

You sit there.

Go son.

Come and sit son.

You sit there.

You sit.

You sit.

Is the life abroad as comfortable as our life in our home land, Faisal?

It's comfortable.

But we won't get these snacks there.

The times have changed.

If they want, Faizal and Shahana can talk to each other.

Go.

Ha...

I am Faizal.

Shahana.

I don't know what they have told you.

Actually I'm not prepared for this.

How sweet?

Yes, it is cute romantic but...

I asked about the amount of sugar in your tea?

Two please.

My family is highly orthodox.

But I am not.

When we were allowed to talk, I thought the opposite.

Do you know why we were asked to sit here and talk?

Not to disturb us.

This is one spot in this house where one can be seen from all the four directions.

If you look up there will be my grandpa, grandma and uncle.

In the left my elder sister, her husband, their children, all will be there.

My God... Go fast.

All 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 like you....

Good looking...

Educated abroad...

You must be having a European girlfriend.

Why have you decided in favor of an arranged marriage?

If I had the freedom to choose, I would not marry anyone.

But, I told you.

My family is orthodox. - Okay!

If I ever get married, I need an equal partner.

A person who can accommodate my views also.

Your elder sisters told me that you would be one like 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 should of guess!

But none of these told me about you.

Oh! No problem. I will tell.

I am 21 years old.

My education was in Bangalore.

Specialized in interior designing.

After marriage also, I want to continue with my work.

I can't remain at home looking after the children.

Of course.

I would like to do the interior work of your five star hotel.

I don't think that it will ever happen.

Do you have any problem in me doing that work? - No.

I'm not going to run that hotel.

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 Switzerland.

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 will be join in a week.

Excuse me.

We were looking for a groom for her and not a cook, right?

Didn't I tell you?

They became rich very recently.

They are not a good match for us.

Ours is a different pedigree.

Their family members are mainly cooks.

Start the car.

What happened? - Let's go fast.

Your father is really angry.

You have been squandering my money in Switzerland all these 3 years, right?

How dare you do that?

Father...

Didn't I tell you that I wanted to do a different MBA?

Different? What different?

From childhood I have been ridiculed 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 style of cooking business.

Didn't you find anything else to do?

How did you dare lie to me?

Idiot!

You come to the point.

Are you angry because I lied to you or because I'm working as a chef?

Job of chef?

I won't allow you to do that.

I won't let you go into troubles.

I will build a five star hotel in the property of Hajjyar.

You will run it.

And you will marry Hajiyar's daughter.

Please excuse me from your business calculations.

To excuse?

Then why did I send you abroad and spent a lot of Euro to educate you.

Without making the most of that, I won't let you go anywhere.

I will return your money.

Return?

Idiot! Give it back.

Give back my money.

Give my money now itself.

Stop it dramatic father.

I have got a good job in London.

I will send your money once I get my salary.

You can't give me back a single penny.

Your education and style are because of my money.

Your luxurious life with my credit card!

I will stop that today.

Let's see what you have without these things.

If I had my mother, you would not have talked to me like this.

Your mother had always been a stumbling block for me.

I was happy when she gave you.

But now only I realized the fact.

Faizi...

Faizi...

I will give you time till tomorrow morning.

If you want to become a cook like your grandfather...

...then you won't have space for you in this house.

I'm very serious.

You can take your own decision.

Faizi...

Did you think well before taking this decision?

- Yes.

There is a life I wished. I can't give that up.

If there is ever a heaven on earth, it is here...it is here...it is here...

"Glorious is God... Glorious is God...Glorious is God"

"Glorious is God... Glorious is God...Glorious is God"

"Glorious is God... Glorious is God...Glorious is God"

"Glorious is God...Glorious is God..."

Kareem ikka... "Glorious is God"

"Glorious is God... Glorious is God...Glorious is God"

"Glorious is God...Glorious is God..."

"Glorious is God" Have you come to live with me?

- No.

Only till my sisters manage to get back my passport...

...and other documents from my father.

Only for a few days.

Will your sisters do it for you?

I have only them to speak for me.

That's right.

They must tell it to make their only brother spineless.

He has learned how to cook from books.

Let him experience some taste, right?

Son...

Keep this.

You have to be cautious.

Your grandfather is a very peculiar person.

He is not like your father.

Not like my father! Thank God!

Even your father has not understood Karim ikka.

Keep that in mind.

Thanks Adullah uncle.

"Glorious is God... Glorious is God...Glorious is God"

Ummar... - Yes.

Introduce him to all here. - Okay.

Greetings. - Greetings.

Come

This is Faizal.

Grandchild of ustad

He has just come from America.

Give him a cup of hot tea. - I will give right now.

Actually not America, but Europe.

Both are same.

Be it America or Europe, for us those are on the other side of this sea.

Get me one more cup of coffee.

Don't spoil that wall.

He thinks that he is another M F Hussain.

Did you understand who this is? - No.

Grandchild of ustad.

Does Ustad have children?

I hear it for the first time.

You idiot..there are so many things in this world unknown to you.

Ustad is a little reserved, especially in family matters.

I'm quite the opposite.

I have two wives and nine children.

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! - Greetings.

Those are Babu and Sabu

They are twins

One more is here- Ismail

He must be somewhere here.

There ..

Ummer ikka...Have you introduced yourself?

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 role here.

Karim ikka has understood who are eating from here for free.

Don't make me reveal more secrets.

These four guys are neither customers nor furniture here.

Sitting here continuously they got themselves fixed here.

Like some fungi.

Not like any fungi, but like oysters.

Hi! ~ Hi!

We are 'Kallumekkayas'.

That is the name of our band. - Oh! You guys are part of a band!

- Yep - What kind of music?

Local folk, Arabic, Alternative 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 will see our real face there.

Leave me alone..I'm fed up with what I have seen so far.

Dude, I like your hair.

Thanks.

What's up?

What do you think?

That jeans clad kitten might run away.

But if it stays, he will rock.

Christina..some crazy things have happened here in India.

Need to talk to you soon.

You call me on +919847345676.

I miss you like crazy.

Love you lots.

Kisses..Faizi.

Faizi ikka...Karim ikka is calling you.

Okay.

Bye babY-

Take this.

Start the vehicle.

I don't have license to drive here.

You need not worry about that.

Our vehicle doesn't have registration either.

Yes.

What's the matter?

I was reciting some holy scriptures.

Go...go.

Grandfather knows Hindi also!

Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Punjabi...

Karim brother knows almost all the Indian languages.

Does he know English?

Is English an Indian language?

If your grandpa contests in an election from here...

These auto drivers alone can vote him to victory.

That is our market.

H Ow?

If a new person comes to Kozhicode...

...he will want to eat a biriyani before returning.

Once getting into an auto from the bus stand or railway station...

They will inquire these drivers about the joint where they will get good biriyani.

These drivers will take them directly to our ustad hotel.

They will tell their friends and relatives...

...back home about the taste of our biriyani.

They are free to take them to any hotel here, right?

Yes they can.

But only ustad hotel 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 your father in every field of activity.

He has traveled extensively and has done all sorts of jobs.

But, he forgot to make money when interest for...

...social service went into this head.

Yes. Come, come.

This is my grandchild.

Hello.

Take these two bags to the van.

Lift it.

Me? - Yes.

What's the matter?

These two bags.

Lift it.

Take.

Be careful. Slowly.

Here.

What's inside this?

Biriyani rice.

Light, tender rice with a special aroma.

Light, tender rice!

Sister..where had you been till now?

It has not been even 24 hours after we called you.

Do you know what all happened during these 24 hours?

Yes. Abdullah uncle told us.

How is grandpa?

Did you call to inquire about him or me?

Have we ever stood against your wish?

The way you selected is the right path.

So, you don't want me to return to my father?

You should somehow get my documents back.

I have to go back to London.

Hello...Hello...Hello...

We can hear.

When are you going to talk this matter with father?

How will we discuss this matter with him?

Then, how will 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 place now.

Say seriously.

Hello...Hello...

Can't believe these stupid phone.

Christina!

Hello.

Christina...Christina...

Good morning. - Good morning.

"You are a traveler"

"I'm also a traveler.."

"In this journey"

"You are a traveler"

"I'm also a traveler.."

Is this a joint family?

No..all are mine only.

Is it? - Yes.

“You are a traveler”

“I'm also a traveler..”

“In this journey”

“In this journey”

“I'm also a traveler..”

Cut the money from my salary.

Salary?

He is not mature enough to enter the kitchen.

Sorry.

No no..l will cut it from his salary.

It will be much easier if you computerize these account matters.

Ummer...

Ummer ikka... - Yes.

Explain today's business accounts.

'86 porotta', 14 fish curry, 13 chicken curry, 28 chicken biriyani...

...3 mutton biriyani and 31 'sulaimani'.

I'm ready to suffer anything.

But grandpa doesn't allow me to cook.

I'm a professionally qualified chef, right?

“You are a traveler”

“I'm also a traveler..”

“In this journey”

“You are a traveler”

“I'm also a traveler..”

“You are a traveler”

“I'm also a traveler..”

“In this journey”

“You are a traveler”

“I'm also a traveler..”

“In this journey”

“You are a traveler”

“I'm also a traveler..”

“In this journey”

Not bad.

Yes!

Son...Anyone can fill anyone's stomach.

But those who eat should be satisfied mentally too.

That ability makes a great cook.

“Nothing strives"

"To keep me up babe"

"Night"

"Trim away"

"To make you want to stand by"

"Clouds of sounds in the air..." Very good!

Is it for this that is sent you to Switzerland for education?

Have you understood what will happen to you if you try to be like your grandpa?

Write carefully!

Is it not a business with the turnover of millions?

No need to incur loss.

Abdu...Let him choose his own way just like you chose yours.

This is not a simple thing.

But the matter of a five star hotel in which billions are at stake.

Why should 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?

Will your ambitions tumble down if you run a five star hotel?

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 else is secondary for him.

Do you know that?

That I know better than anyone else in this world.

I can buy this whole shop with a single cheque.

But I won't do that.

I feel suffocation the moment I enter here.

I feel the same in your home.

Your grandpa must have taught you so many things.

But you should remember one thing.

With philosophy alone, one can't achieve anything in this world.

That he has proved with his own life.

You are wasting your life like that.

If you feel like changing your ways, then you can come to me.

Why is my father like this?

It is because his father didn't nurture him well.

When he was a child, I had been a nomad.

Learned so many things from different places.

But I couldn't teach him those things to him after my return.

His had a kind of grudge towards me right from his childhood.

When he grew up that grudge also developed with him.

He hated me, this hotel and my principles.

What I did to him is wrong.

But I don't know how to correct it.

My father won't let you do that.

If you add potato to any ingredient in any dish, it will retain it's unique taste.

Your father is like that.

Those who are with him now don't really love him.

They are after his money.

So he speaks the same language.

I can only pray for him.

Along with that I beg pardon to the Almighty.

Shall we go?

E-mail from my London boss.

If I don't join this week, he will appoint someone else.

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 will sit here.

Will you like a job in the Beach Bay?

In that five star hotel?

I have to go back grandpa.

I am tensed whenever I think about my passport.

Abdulla uncle says that it will take two months to get a duplicate passport.

Don't you need a job till then?

One thing that your father said is right.

If you want to learn something new, you have to get out of here.

Go to Beach Bay, meet Babu and give him this.

This is not enough to apply for a job.

There are some official procedures for that.

- You go and give that.

How are you baby?

What would you like to have?

You are not crying?

Ummer ikka...

Could you read this for me?

This is my grandchild.

Give him a job that he likes - Kareem ikka.

Wow! That's official. - Try it.

I don't think that this can't be more official 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 hotel. - Oh! Please come.

Yes, young man!

Kindly please to meet you sir!

He said there is a message.

Oh yes.

Here it is.

You are Karim ikka's grandson, right? - Yes.

Faizal Abdul Razaq.

My CV and certificates.

I am a graduate from lozan, Switzerland.

Very good.

You have got big qualifications.

That also from Switzerland.

Very good.

I can't deny a request from Karim ikka.

Anyway, you can join tomorrow.

Yeah!

Good luck.

Thank you sir.

My Cycle?

Wait till next month. - Okay. I just reminded you.

Aabida!

The groom's party is coming for fixing the wedding.

Enough money for that is in it.

Why the five star chefs are linger around here?

I'm learning your calculations without computer or calculator.

All okay, grandpa? - It's okay.

But I want to buy a cycle for Johnny.

Nessu's child needs to be admitted in a school.

Don't they get fixed salaries?

That's right.

But more and more requirement keeps on coming in life, right?

They live with their families.

This is yours.

This is to send money order to Madurai.

This is to your grandpa's second wife.

Ummer...!

You send this every month.

But won't reveal to whom it is being sent.

So, there is something fishy in it, right?

I derive more pleasure 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 qualifications, you are able.

And moreover you are my grandchild.

The last said is the real reason.

What is your connection with that Chef Babu?

Have you had the special biriyani of Beach Bay hotel?

No.

People order only five star dishes there, right?

This is also a five star item.

Foreigners staying there often prefer special 'malabari 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 fool!

Try to think it in the reverse order.

No way!

Is the 'biriyani' prepared here is served as the special malabari biriyani there?

- Yes.

So, they get the fame and profit?

For every biriyani, Babu will give me Rs.5 extra.

That's why he became humble when he heard your name.

Faizi...

There are a lot more left for you to learn.

These are our boys.

Chef Philip has come over here to conduct a fusion food festival.

He will be here with us for the next two weeks.

His specialty is a combination of European dishes and our local ones.

Fusion fizzle!

Over to you Chef Philip.

Thank you chef of boy and pleasure to be here in the land of spices.

I am going to be experiment with a combination of...

..."Logo cosin" and "Europeian oag cosin".

Is anyone here familiar with "oag cosin"?

Yes sir.

New recruitment, he is also a Chef.

Okay good, why don't you join us?

Thank you sir.

Well just to get the ideas right.

Can anyone suggest a combination of Kerala food with a European dish?

That could be a part on the fusion menu.

Sir...

How about an "ontrea" of the local Kerala...

..."porotta" with a portion of spanish omlet.

Sure, can you show us an example? - Sure.

Good choice and your name is? - Faizi.

Sorry?

Faizi... - Oh, Faizi...

Hellow...

Christeena it's me Faizi.

Baby how are you?

Faizi...where are you? Which number is this?

I am still stuck in India babe.

I send you so many messages already.

This is my new number.

So what just happened in such a short while?

But forget all that, guess what happening now?

I am part of fusion food festival.

With a chef Philip from Paris.

And he is great stuff.

That doesn't sounds like you stuck in India?

Until I get my passport in two months I can't travel back.

This is just a job that I picked to that time.

Well since you are busy setting up your life there I wish you would let me know.

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

Faizi...the deposit is due on our apartment.

Are you sending the money?

Oh my God, I didn't think of that.

It's like 12000 pounds, right?

I don't have that kind of money now.

Well that means I have to go of it.

And it's possibly me with Marco.

Marco!!!

Why would you go with Marco?

Because my circle 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 girl friends you can room with? 'Bloody Marco',

You know why? I can't handle these pressure logos in our relationship

Whenever you come back, just 2, 4 months or just pick it out from there.

Okay, I got to go, Bye-

Hello... Faizi...

How long have I been waiting? I have to give you stuff.

Ticket!

Have you forgotten?

Today is our show.

Come to spot at 7'0 clock.

Okay?

Don't forget. Okay?

I will see you there.

Bye.

Faizi..friend..

Thanks.

Thanks.

How was the show? - Fabulous! - Is it?

Definitely.

Here we get very good food, but second only to Usthad hotel.

1,2,3...6 chicken rolls. Kabab.

Kabab? 4 kabab.

Burger? 4 Burger.

Food and drinks are free on the days we have a show.

Do you want to drink? - No.

Drink. Shahana...Here.

Thanks.

Hey, good job. - Thank you.

Sit down. Please..

Faizi, meets star of the evening: Shahana.

This is Karim ikka's grandson - Faizi.

5 minutes!

We should finish the whole chicken.

That for me.

It is good.

When are you going to open this?

Isn't that you?

Who is going to reach me home?

I will...

If you want, I will drop you.

Okay.

Why has the top chef in London remained here?

Long story!

Any story can be completed by the time this rickety van reaches destination.

Are you playing the role 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!

Please stop. Sir...lift.

Sir..stop. One lift..

I would have got a lift much earlier if I were alone.

Of course...everything is always easy for women.

I've an idea.

Our vehicle broke down.. please give us a lift.

Okay..get in.

Is he also sitting with us?

No..you go behind.

He's touching me.

Did you realize how everything is easy for women?

I can't endure it any longer.

We will reach very soon.

My hand...

Don't you guys have mothers and sisters?

Go...Shahana.

Go and catch them. Faizi..Come.

Stop there.

Stop there. - Go away man.

Bag...

Faizi..bag.

Stop there.

Don't you guys have mothers and sisters?

Super dialogue delivery!

Even after making me do all these things...you laugh.

You know something.

Today is the last day of my freedom.

Tomorrow is my betrothal.

Congrats!

Thank you.

Don't you want to know who the groom is?

I'm sure he won't be chef or a cook.

Okay.

Shall we go?

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Shahana...

Your performance was great today.

On stage or after that?

Both.

Good bye.

Bye.

What dish is this?

This dish?

That's a special one from a village - Kattakkada.

Kaattakaa...!

No. Kattakkada.

Kaatakaa... - Kaattakaa..

Daa.. - Daa...

Have it.

Chef? - What's the matter Alex?

The guest in table no 28 wants to meet the chef.

Which is the dish?

You go.

Faizi...

You have got good experience in all departments.

But I haven't trained you in a very important department.

Customers.

But no problem.

That we can compensate.

The customer in table 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 could take the credit of your dish, you take the credit of oyster?

Carry on. - Thank you chef.

Sir...

May I help you.

Sure.

I would be pleased if you could tell me what is in this plate.

Sir, that Oysters with Kerala spices.

This is the star attraction of our fusion food festival.

Our local ingredients like pepper, lime and small onion are...

...served with a European dish like oyster.

European style!

Yes sir.

Do you know even the spelling of Europe?

Mehroof..please...

Don't create a scene unnecessarily.

Hello.

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 generally... - This is not fusion but confusion.

Sir, please understand.

This dish is to be eaten like this.

So, it is not your mistake.

The problem is with my ignorance.

Call your MD.

I will talk to him.

Sorry sir.

If you order what you want.. chef will cook it for you.

But he wants to teach me how to eat.

Not at all...you place the order.

I ordered for oyster with Kerala spices.

First you cook it for me as I like it.

Yes sir.

Don't you go to work today? - No.

I'm on leave today.

Where are you off to?

Should I drop you?

Kareem ikka!

God!

Faizal, my grand child.

Hello. - Hi!

You know the deadline of that loan.

Only some more months are left.

I know it is difficult for you for a full repayment including the interest.

How much does the total come to?

Rs. 786043.

Can you extend the deadline a little further?

It is impossible.

But there is a proposal.

You will only benefit from this.

If you sell this mortgaged property to us this month...

...you will get another 50,000 rupees extra.

Any way you will lose the property in no time.

If I repay the loan, it won't happen.

Which is this property?

I have only one property.

Hotel? - Yes.

I have written down all the calculations.

Take this.

Faizal...Please come.

Sure.

I see his efforts to pay the interest every month.

But still he is adamant.

It's because of his old age.

You should explain him the realities.

What does he gain from repaying this loan?

This financial problem occurs because he doesn't see it as a business.

It's not going to change.

So, it is better to implement this proposal.

An enterprising young man like you can't harp on this old shop.

We have to be practical.

If you want to continue with this option, you have to reach a conclusion very fast.

We are not selling off the property.

Faizi...

Please give him some more time to think over this matter.

After taking a decision, just inform me..

I will make further arrangements.

Okay. Thank you.

Grandpa...

When did you take this loan?

3 years back.

I didn't have money to run the shop.

Money should be repaid.

What about the fund for that?

Not with me.

Then?

I don't know.

Grandpa...

Are you alright?

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 like this.

Then any one would be forced to think...

...the way to heaven is not so long from there.

Your biriyani is the best in this city.

Still the business incurs loss.

Why is it like that?

I don't make any compromise in the quality of the food I cook.

So, the expense will 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 also.

The college fees of Ummar's son.

Wedding of Abida's daughter.

Is it not?

In that way, this hotel is run to meet the expenses of others.

It's not a business for you.

Don't you often say that...

...you would like to go for long journeys leaving behind all these things?

That you would like to go to all darga's.

Without closing the hotel, can you do such things?

I do to the best of my ability.

A boat can't be rowed for a long distance all alone.

If there is someone to row with me...the situation is different.

The commitment that you feel towards the hotel...

...can't be expected from anyone else.

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 will happen.

We are the makers of our own fate, right?

I'm the person who has to decide what to do in my life.

Can anyone else do that?

If that is the case, you would not have been with me.

If you were able to act as you wished...

...you would be living happily in London now.

You would not be with the problems of an old man, right?

This is fate, my son.

Sometimes, I feel that there is no point is dreaming about London.

Have this.

There is a small difference in this?

Cardamom?

Some other spice?

I will tell you about that ingredient.

But more than that it is your feeling in your mind.

A little bit of love should be added with every 'sulaimani'.

When we have that the whole world should come to a standstill.

Grandpa...

Could you tell me the story of your love?

How come you are very much sure that I had a love affair?

Only those who have tasted a 'sulaimani' can tell about it's taste.

When I was eighteen years old.

The same year I joined with my master.

For the wedding of Maulavi's daughter, I went to cook biriyani.

In between, I saw a beauty near the window.

Like a caged bird.

“Didn't you stand near the door with your rapt attention?"

"I stood like the line of a half sung melody.."

“Didn't you stand near the door with your rapt attention?"

"I stood like the line of a half sung melody.."

"Kissing on the red lips..”

"Kissing on the red lips..”

Something started shivering in my heart.

Everything happened in my life before seemed to have converged to that point.

Who was that?

Maulavi's daughter.

I went to cook biriyani for her wedding only.

Then what happened?

What to happen?

After wedding and eating your biriyani, they went away.

Haven't you fallen in love with anyone?

I don't have anything of that sort.

Love!

“Seeking various ways to see"

"And when seeing her, closed my eyes"

"My dear, didn't you stand there"

"Didn't you slither away shyly?"

"Sweet talks, as a roaring ocean"

"Sweet talks, as an incessant rain"

"Like a peacock, life was full of playfulness”

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 like the line of a half sung melody.."

“Didn't you stand near the door with your rapt attention?"

"I stood like the line of a half sung melody.."

Faizi...

We have become friends.

You smart guy..

Mehroof is an idiot.

His snobbish nature...

So insensitive.

He doesn't care about how others feel.

Is it because of that you joined with him?

Perfect pair!

I made a mistake.

Don't say that.

_ A")! Way you are 90mg to marry him, right?

I didn't mention about Mehroof.

About you.

Time up for black tea.

This is not bad.

He is repeating history.

H Ow?

Stealing another one's bride.

Okay. Good luck.

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 will make sure you get it.

Thank you chef. It was great working with you.

Just one of mine. - Yes. No problem.

Hey George, how are you?

Yes, tell me.

Why?

Okay, I will be there.

I don't understand anything.

You must be familiar with these things.

This is the floor plans of Beach Bay International.

That's strange.

See this.

In this blue print we can see the expansion plans of Beach Bay.

The main extension is towards the beach.

But the real boundary is here.

This new expansion area is near to your promenade.

That means nearby grandpa's hotel.

Actually grandpa's house and hotel are included in this plan.

That means, Beach Bay is behind the bank.

That's why they are pushing the proposal.

Our world has been shrunk into a small corner of their plan.

I have to somehow repay the loan.

I don't think that they will let you repay that.

Good morning sir.

If you have time to spare, waiting to see you.

Okay.

Sir, I am Faizal Abdul Razaq. - Faizi, right?

Yes sir.

That's very kind of him sir.

I have come to talk a matter which is not related to my job here.

It's none of my business.. but I felt like telling you this.

Go on.

The nearby ustad hotel, is owned by my grandpa.

Now he has some financial problems.

I came to know that Beach Bay Int. is interested in that property.

I don't know what that bank manager told you.

But for my grandpa it is not just a property.

So, he has no plans to sell it.

So I hope, Beach Bay Int. can change it's plan accordingly.

What Faizi said is right.

This is not your business.

Our plans are not to be changed according to someone else's interests.

Often others change according to our interests.

Otherwise they themselves will have to face its consequences.

I hope your grandpa understands that.

An old biriyani shop!

To close it down, just one phone call should be enough.

Go..there will be something to be chopped in the kitchen.

How dare you give us something like this?

What's this?

The chicken is not fresh.

Is this kind of chicken you are serving to my guests?

Sorry sir. - Go, call the chef.

Yes sir - Bring him here.

Chef...

GM's guest is calling you.

He gave me a pasting because of that stuffed chicken dish.

What's the complaint?

They complain that the chicken is not fresh.

This is fresh.

Chef...

GM's guests need fresh chicken, right?

A fresher chicken will look like 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 complaint regarding the hygiene of this hotel.

You sit there.

Send the customers out.

We are sealing this shop.

For what?

A cat is lying dead in your kitchen.

Legal action for seven days.

After that there will be an inspection before they could open the hotel.

The rest you can enquire in our office.

Raid in Ustad hotel near the Kozhicode beach.

Because of unhygienic conditions in which the hotel was working, the...

...food control and drug administration department has sealed the hotel.

Common man always fall prey to commercialization.

Even though people had complained against the hotel several times...

...the authorities had not taken any action.

We see here the ire of the people.

For BC\/, with camera man Praveen, Tony.

Move aside.

Faizi...

Go away with all these.

Move.

Leave me.

Why are you just gaping at?

Make him move.

Faizi...

No son.

Beat him.

Don't let him go.

While reporting, the hotel authorities beat up...

...the BTV reporter and the camera man.

They were admitted to hospital with minor injuries.

What you said is right, my son.

Time up to close down.

No grandpa.

It is high time we taught them a lesson.

No need.

Now, no need to do anything like that.

Our condition is not suitable for that.

We can't fight against them.

These poor folks will also suffer with us.

You should not talk like that.

We are all sons of this same soil.

We need not fear the new entrants.

We can also do something.

Faizi, we are with you.

Why should we fear them?

No one will lose anything because of this.

We have to open the hotel at any cost.

Ustad hotel which had been very popular among all sections...

...of people for the last 50 was closed down some days ago.

Some strong business men were behind this.

Challenging all such attempts, Karim ikka and his employees...

...is becoming a role model for small scale business men.

I have been a regular customer here for the last 30 years.

There has been any complaint from my part.

Ustad hotel must be reopened.

The latest under cover story unearthed by our news team.

The biriyani which was being served in Beach Bay hotel...

...was actually cooked in ustad hotel.

A biriyani which costs just Rs.35 in ustad hotel is sold in Beach Bay for Rs.350.

With the nod from food and drug control dept.

Ustad hotel opens a fresh chapter in its history...

...with a new menu and a fresh look on this Sunday.

Hi! - Chef Philip!

Grandpa!

Everything okay.

What you said is right.

Regarding fate.

Chef Philip opens a new restaurant in France.

He asks me to go with him.

As an executive chef.

I got the result for all my hard work.

Grandpa...

You should get my passport from my father.

If I get that, I can fly.

I can fly high.

I won't get another chance like this.

I will be back after making a call to my sister..one minute.

It was a mild attack.

He needs rest for some more days.

Relax..his condition is stable now.

I have another tension now.

He should not tell me to remain here.

Right time for an emotional black mailing.

Even if he asks, you have the option to go.

Will you do a favor to me before you leave?

Sure.

You should reach some money to my friend in Madhurai.

A note too.

Okay.

Ummar has got the address with him.

Start today itself.

Grandpa...

When you are in the hospital,

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 Calicut.

How is he?

He is fine.

He is in hospital.

He had a heart attack.

But he is fine now.

He has given me a letter for you.

Dear Narayan Krishnan.

It is my grand child who meets you with this letter.

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 slowly.

Do you like idli?

Are you working in ustad hotel?

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 their for 12 years.

You see that old man.

He change my life.

That time I was working in Taj.

I saw this man that day for the first time.

Unable to endure appetite, he was eating his own human waste.

Then I thought - what is the purpose of my life?

I am working in a star hotel, feeding all my guest.

And in my native place...

...people without means to have food for at least once a day.

I quit the job.

And started this.

Normally human beings are never satisfied with anything.

They will demand for more.

But in the case of food, it is different.

If one's stomach is full, one have to say it is enough.

Wake up man.

Wake up, wake up slowly.

We have to go to Hellen Keller school at Nerimaid on noon.

Everyone get ready by 8'0 clock. - Okay?

Understood?

Faizi...

You do one thing.

Today you cook the food.

- Okay-

I mean, sure.

Sir... - Yes?

What should I cook?

Nothing else, but 'Biriyani'.

Karim ikka's biriyani.

Faizi...

Is it is that much good?

Then I will eat check? - Please.

Faizi...

As I know this is the best 'Biriyani' that you made.

It is really tasty.

They are saying thanks in their sign language.

Son...

Anyone can give food for others.

But we have to satisfy their mind also.

That is the real Midas touch in cooking.

Ustad hotel closed.

Grandpa?

He has left us.

What has he got to lose?

He will wander around with a satchel on his shoulder

He is quite used to that.

But we lost everything.

Here it is.

Come.

Thus Ustad hotel 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 hotel which is 60 years long.

This is not just history, but a story too.

We have reached here in a lovely evening.

Enchanting Sufi dance.

Gazal..people are watching this with enthusiastically.

The aroma of the biriyani here is very famous.

When the lid of biriyani vessel is opened here...

...it is said that the aroma will reach up to Kozhicode market.

Karim ikka's midas touch in cooking is the reason for that.

We have with us a very important person.

The link that connects the past and present of this hotel.

Faizi's father, Karim ikka's son, Janab Abdul Razak.

What are all your memories about ustad hotel?

If I say about memories, this hotel was everything for my father.

I grew up inside this.

When I was young, I used to run errands.

He made Faizi also to do the same.

That's his nature.

Now, another branch of ustad hotel has started in Dubai also.

His sisters run that.

By God's grace, everything is going on well because of his hard work.

God's grace.

He is Faizi, who belongs to the third generation.

That means, Ustad's grandson.

Is this the 'sulaimani' story told by Ummar ikka?

- Yes. Shahana.

The biriyani in ustad hotel is not just about taste.

It's also the love served along with that.

How all these are restored as in the past?

We follow the same path shown by grandpa.

We follow the same recipes.

The success can only be attributed to the original team of my grandpa.

The only sad part of the whole story is that grandpa is not here to see all these.
