Ustaad (Malayalam: ഉസ്താദ്) (English: Master) is a 1999 Indian Malayalam film written by Ranjith and directed by Sibi Malayil. The film follows Parameshwaran, a high profile businessman, who leads a dual life of an underworld negotiator. It starred Mohanlal, Indraja, Divya Unni, Narendra Prasad, N. F. Varghese and Vineeth. It was produced jointly by Shaji Kailas and Ranjith under the banner of Country Talkies.The storyline of the 2015 Tamil movie Vedalam starring Ajith Kumar was reportedly inspired by this movie.
Usthad (Mohanlal) was a don in Mumbai. He decides to stop everything and settle down in his home town with his sister Padmaja (Divya Unni).Before he goes back he sends his people Sami(Janardhanan) and Sethu (Ganesh Kumar) to Yousuf shah associates where he wants to withdraw his share.But Yousuf shah was not ready to give him a single penny.When Sulaiman(Mafia Sasi), Yousuf's manager,creates a problem,Ustad come directly and beats him and takes the money.
Back in Kozhikode, his hometown, Ustaad is merely Parameshwaran, an adorable brother, and guardian to his younger sister Padmaja (Divya Unni). He maintains a low profile as a businessman who has ventured into real estate.
Padmaja has fallen in love with her friend and dance teacher Nandan (Vineeth), who is the son of Koliyodan Shekharan (Narendra Prasad), a businessman who has not been doing so well, mainly because of the extravagant lifestyle of his older son Koliyodan Giri (Saikumar). Mohan Thampy (N. F. Varghese), Shekharan's son-in-law, is a business tycoon and a politician as well. Thampy originally was helped financially by Shekharan, but over time, he got more involved with the underworld, and they have a strained relationship.
