Well, let me start with a movie review. Last day I watched the malayalam movie Salt N' Pepper. The movie is directed by Ashiq Abu and casted by Lal, Shwetha Menon, Asif Ali, Mythili and many others. Salt N' Pepper is a simple movie with a simple theme, expressed in a simple way. I would like to call it as a domestic movie or a home movie. It just paints the pictures of our daily life. For those who expect an action-rich, dialogue-rich movie, salt and pepper is not the one. This is not an action thriller. The script is slow. the story takes place in an urban area- hence the life of humans in modern conditions are depicted beautifully. Human life and thoughts are carefully captured. The blend of Nostalgia and Romance is the taste maker of the movie.
Shwetha Menon(acted a 'Maya') does her job wonderfully and Asif Ali (acted a "Manu") rocks !! Comedy is the one which lasts till the end of the film. Although there are no megastars or veteran comedians, the natural comedy flows throughout the film. And this film is definitely dedicated to all foodies. :-) The song 'Kanamullal' is one the best songs in 2011- good music and good sceneries. Presence of Shyju Khalid behind the camera has made the movie wonderful. There is no heavy action, there is no thrilling long dialogues, no multistars- but those soft romantic moments which cools the mind of evey youth and untold feelings of loved ones is the centre point of the movie- simple but lovely film. I would rate it 8.5 out of 10.
