Review : Salt n' Pepper Movie (Malayalam)

Today I saw a wonderful Malayalam movie after a long gap. It was Salt n' Pepper. The title is very apt for the movie which is basically telling how life goes on with some amount of sadness and lots of fun without which life will be boring, same as in curry without salt n' pepper will be bad to eat. The movie has a fresh story line with nice script and timely dialogues. All the characters in the movie has done exceptionally well. The movie is a treat for all classes of audience and it attracts the viewers like a whiff of fresh air.
Salt N Pepper is a love story of two people facing a mid-life crisis. The characters played by Lal and Shweta Menon's has given amazing performance and is the major attraction of this movie. Baburaj's timely humor as a cook, Shyju Khaled's brilliant visuals, Bijibal's music and Suresh Kollam’s art direction are other highlights of the movie. The title shows with the display of delicious dishes of Kerala. Ashiq Abu has narrated the story in a plain and convincing way and there is no gimmickry in it. Also the performance of Asif Ali (played as Manu Raghav) and Mythili (played as Meenakshi) are note worthy and have given a good boost to their own careers I guess.
I strongly recommend for watching this very fresh movie.
I am going with 4 out of 5 for giving people like us who live outside Kerala a taste of Kerala.
