Salt Mango Tree is a 2015 Malayalam-language Indian comedy drama film directed by Rajesh Nair, starring Biju Menon, Lakshmi Priyaa Chandramouli and Suhasini Maniratnam. The film released on 6 November 2015 and its title was inspired by the Mohanlal starrer Doore Doore Oru Koodu Koottam.
Its a hearty family entertainment story of a couple running the rat race for better schools for their one and only child. The backbone of the story relies on resilience and values that a family can and provides. It critically asks bigger questions like whether right to education is anymore accessible and affordable as one wishes. Aravindan and Priya are the couple fighting with the education system to find a place for their son Ashwin. Deepika Mme, comes as guiding hand for the family. Ultimately the family ends with realization that happiness and love inside the family is more important than anything and it is not something to be bartered.
Critical reception was mostly positive.The Times of India gave the movie 2.5 stars, claiming its script and writing lacks a usual happy ending or something that can deftly hold it all together. However, the review stay back with film's good humour quotient.
