Ustad Hotel – 2012

Dulquer Salmaan gave a blockbuster hit with his second movie, Ustad Hotel where he acts as Faisi, a guy who visits his grandfather’s restaurant with aspirations. If you’re a lover of food and drool looking at delicious items, then this movie won’t fail to impress you. Dulquer perfectly nails his role as a chef that’s born not only to fill the tummies of people but their hearts. This movie has a lot to educate young people.

Kammatipaadam – 2016

Here’s another movie that shows the versatility of the actor. As we all know, Dulquer Salmaan is well-known for being the man who makes people’s hearts flutter. Nevertheless, he can offer more. In the movie Kammatipaadam, his dynamic acting is well-read through the character of Krishnan.

Speaking of the plot, when Krishnan gets a call from his childhood friend Ganga, he returns to his native land and that’s when his unexpected journey starts. Honestly, the movie became one of the best cult classics, thanks to Dulquer’s fierce demeanor.

Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal – 2020

Having a life partner with the same trait is quite amazing. Dulquer Salmaan however took the former statement seriously. When a scammer meets a woman and dives in love, little does he expect she’s a scammer too. When both the scammers fall head over heels, their mischievous habits pop out. Dulquer’s comedic nature has to be applauded because he’s just so good at everything. Also who styles him up? They need a big raise for dolling up the stunning actor.

Salute – 2022

In Salute, Dulquer Salmaan acts as a police offer who returns to unravel a mystery. Once again, the M-Town’s young actor proved that he can ace any role. He wonderfully executed the agony of the cop who’s trying to fix the pieces. Also, since he is stout and has his physical fitness perfectly maintained, the birthday pal best fitted this character. As a fan of action thrillers, watching Dulquer beat the bad guys gave me goosebumps.

Kurup – 2021

Kurup is legit the opposite of the movie that we mentioned above. Over here, Dulquer acts as a criminal on the run (yep, running from a cop). Based on the murder case of 1984, the movie became one of the highest-grossed Malayalam flicks. Contrary to his responsible police character, Dulquer showed how a criminal’s actions will be especially when he is a cunning greedy man. It takes a huge effort to act in the role of a real-life character who ruined lives. Big kudos for that!
