I chanced upon Salt n Pepper on Primevideo, in orig. Malayalam w/Eng. subs.
This is what one would call a 'pleasing film' not quite a rom-com but definitely a romance with a simple plot, good acting, and more than just a few good doses of humour. The dialogues are also good.
I especially liked the character Mooppan, the elderly adivasi gentleman. Not sure what he added to the film but he was cute and interesting. Turns out that the actor is actually a tribal Kelu Moopan "leader of the Kurichyar community in Mananthavady region of Wayanad district, Kerala" as per another site.
Salt N Pepper is a very watchable film that holds the interest. Especially good if you are fed up of violent thrillers and stupid slapstick and just want something pleasant to enjoy before bedtime.
