After
the
movie
Daddy
Cool,
director
Aashiq
Abu
is
making
his
comeback
through
the
movie
Salt
N
Pepper,
which
is
a
right
mixture
of
all
the
commercial
ingredients.
The
movie
is
a
feasting
to
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.
Lal
and
Shweta
Menon's
amazing
performance
is
the
major
attraction
of
the
film.
Baburaj's
humour,
Shyju
Khaled's
brilliant
visuals,
Bijibal's
music
and
Suresh
Kollam"s
art
direction
are
other
highlights
of
the
movie.
The
movie
has
an
interesting
script
by
Syam
Pushkaran
and
Dileesh
Nair
and
food
is
set
as
the
backdrop
of
the
story.
The
story
opens
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.
Kalidasan
(Lal)
is
an
Archaeological,
who
is
a
foodie.
He
likes
old
things
and
his
only
companion
is
his
cook
Babu
(Baburaj).
His
nephew
Manu
Raghav
(Asif
Ali)
comes
to
his
place
in
search
of
a
job.
His
boring
life
gets
a
new
twist
when
he
receives
a
wrong
call
from
Maya
(Shwetha
Menon),
a
spinster,
who
is
a
dubbing
artiste,
living
as
a
paying
guest
with
her
friend
Meenakshi
(Mythili).
What
happens
next
will
form
the
interesting
part
of
the
movie.
Actor
Lal
has
a
tailor-made
role
in
the
movie
Salt
N
Pepper
and
he
effortlessly
emotes
the
pain
and
the
solitude.
Shwetha
has
completely
de-glam
role
in
the
movie.
She
has
lot
scope
to
show
her
acting
talent
and
she
has
used
it
properly.
Baburaj
has
taken
a
break
from
his
negative
roles
and
delivered
a
humourous
performance
in
the
film.
Asif
Ali
and
Mythili
have
also
done
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
In
technical
front,
Shyju
Khalid"s
cinematography
is
the
major
highlight
of
the
movie
Salt
N
Pepper.
His
camera
work
has
surely
added
to
the
fluid
texture
of
the
film.
Bijibal's
background
score
is
superb
and
all
the
songs
are
also
good
to
listen.
Suresh
Kollam"s
art
direction
is
commendable.
The
film
has
obviously
its
own
share
of
shortcomings,
but
it
doe
not
disappoint
the
viewers.
It
is
a
must
watch
movie.
