Feeling inferiority complex is so common among all of us.But nobody has thought of making it theme of a film and film Salt and Pepper has done exactly that.
Lal has acted so well that not even once while watching the film I thought of it being actor Lal even though there is hardly any make up for him.Feeling of being inadequate and not up to the expectation level of others especially those whom you want to really impress to get in to the heart of that person is picturised so well by Lal through his acting.Swetha Menon did try well but could not reach up to that level of Lal.
Asif Ali and the female counter part also tried to express same feeling and Asif Ali did comparatively much better with his acting talents.
I do not know why that sub story with Vijayaraghavan and his failed love story is added.It does not serve any purpose and weakens credibility level of the film.Story of a cook hijacked from a house where Lal went for bride seeing can be passed off as an attempt to add humour even though it also lacks credibility.
Premikkumbol is the theme song of the film and the song is simply great with both Jayachandran And Neha singing so well.Voice of Neha while singing this song is almost heavenly and she sang so well making her entry in to film world real great.She has great future ahead in her singing career
Finally that presentation of Avial song at the end did not appear to be appropriate for me.It is just adding another program after completing the film and it protrudes out.I do not know why Neha is not included in that show.
Promotion for the film shows a caption-"Oru Dosa undikkiya katha".When I read it I thought that the film is not worth seeing.Why should I waste my time trying to see story of how Dosa is being made?.Again posters first appeared showed Swetha Menon and Lal with a land phone.That poster also did not persuade or encourage me to see the film.I saw the film only because of my twitter friends reccommendation and definitely not by marketing efforts for the fim.That clearly shows that marketing efforts for the film are not up to the level expected .
Oru Dosa Undakkiya Katha can be translated in two ways:
1.Story of making of Dosa
2.Story made by a Dosa
Probably the promotion people of film, might have meant the latter
While on Dosa,the old round Dosa is fast disappearing and is being replaced by so called Ghee Roast which is simply a fried Dosa.This is not as tasty and good for health like old small round Dosa.
There is a small restaurant between Thuravoor and Cherthala at a place called Ponnamveli by the side of National high way where you still can get old type dosa with old type chuttney.Name of the restaurant is Lakshmi.Whenever I pass through this place,I make it a point to have that dosa.I have seen many filmi folks frequenting that place which is quite crowded.Try this old style Dosa
