The conflict of forbidden love is a tempting one for any narrative, be it prose or poetry. And when two individuals, who could well be called "senior citizens" get caught in the throes of it, one can only imagine the drama. Based on Twinkle Khanna's short story by the same name, Lilette Dubey's Salaam, Noni Appa is a smooth blend of conflict and compassion, with enough laughter to see you through the 90-minute long play.
