'Salt N' Pepper', a romantic comedy film that starred Lal, Asif Ali, Shweta Menon and Mythili was a surprise hit in Kerala. Crafted by Aashiq Abu, the film was centered on a theme 'food' with a caption 'oru dosa undakkiya katha' (story of making of a dosa). It attracted all kind of audience with its brand new presentation and often hailed as the first food film in Malayalam. The performance of actors and the music were widely appreciated. The film was made out of the traditional formulae and set a benchmark for the experimental film movement in Malayalam. It also presented the typed villain actor Baburaj in a totally different role and recieved the grand applause. Some film makers have shown interest in remaking the film in other languages.

Avial, Kerala's first global rock band, had performed the closing credits of the movie with one of their album songs 'Anakallan'. The band had become famous for mixing the Malayalam folk with alternative rock and 'Anakkallan' was an example of that. Though the song wasn't fitted to the storyline, it also went on to be a hit with other songs in the film.

The event is getting organised by the Kairali We Channel Middle East, the youth channel that is a part of Malayalam Communications. The reception this film has led many filmmakers think the other way.
