The
references
of
food
and
various
cuisines
could
very
well
spice
up
a
movie
watching
experience.
Then
what
would
be
the
case
when
an
entire
movie
is
based
on
food?
Malayalm
films
are
not
new
to
food
based
movies
but
there
are
only
a
few
movies
in
Mollywood's
credit,
which
could
be
purely
called
as
food
based
movies.
Here,
we
list
some
of
the
Malayalam
films
in
which
food
played
an
important
part
in
the
storyline.
Take
a
look.
Salt
N'
Pepper
This
movie
definitely
has
to
top
this
list.
The
title
song
of
the
film
is
solely
enough
to
tantalize
your
taste
buds
with
the
sight
of
some
exotic
dishes.
The
film
directed
by
Aashiq
Abu
did
have
an
equally
delicious
love
story
to
narrate.
Usthad
Hotel
Usthad
Hotel
should
be
the
most
prominent
and
important
movie
in
this
list.
The
movie
had
a
very
important
message
to
deliver
to
the
society.
The
story
of
the
film
has
been
narrated
in
the
backdrop
of
a
hotel
named
Usthad
Hotel.
Kammath
And
Kammath
Kammath
And
Kammath
was
a
mass
entertainer
which
narrated
the
story
of
two
brothers,
who
owned
a
well-renowned
dosa
shop,
which
is
best
known
for
the
variety
of
dosas
it
serves.
The
song
Dosa
Nalloru..
from
the
film
is
sure
to
ring
your
taste
buds.
Spanish
Masala
Dileep
played
the
role
of
a
cook
in
this
film
directed
by
Lal
Jose.
A
special
dosa
named
Spanish
Masala,
which
the
character
makes,
has
an
important
part
to
play
in
the
film.
Mister
Butler
The
film
was
one
of
the
earliest
hits
in
the
film
career
of
Dileep.
The
actor
played
the
role
of
a
butler,
who
wins
the
hearts
of
all
by
showcasing
his
dexterity
in
preparing
various
dishes.
Not
all
the
movies
in
the
above
list
did
have
food
as
the
central
theme.
Only,
Usthad
Hotel
and
Salt
N
Pepper
could
be
purely
be
categorised
as
food
based
movies.
Well,
the
Malayalam
film
industry
is
obviously
not
new
to
the
references
of
foods
and
dishes
in
films.
The
song
'Ayila
Porichathundu..Karimeen
Varathathundu'
from
the
film
Venalil
Oru
Mazha
was
one
among
the
first
songs,
which
teased
the
tastebuds
of
the
listeners.
But,
it
was
the
film
Salt
N
Pepper,
which
paved
way
for
more
food
based
movies
in
Malayalam.
The
film
was
kind
of
a
revolution
and
did
show
the
avenues
of
food
based
movies
in
Malayalam.
