Moonwalk Malayalam Movie
Set in the late 80s in a remote village in Kerala, Moonwalk is inspired by true events. It chronicles the journey of a group of youngsters trying to learn and perform breakdance and the obstacles they face while doing so.
Moonwalk is a Malayalam-language dance drama that pays heartfelt tribute to the breakdancing subculture of the 1980s and 90s. Directed by a debutant, the film evokes strong nostalgia through references to the VHS era, breakdance battles, and even Michael Jackson. Critics responded with mixed but generally warm sentiments, acknowledging the film’s sincerity and passion, even if its execution wasn’t always polished. The storytelling is earnest and rooted in themes of friendship, dreams, and identity, but some felt the narrative leaned on familiar tropes and lacked the finesse of more seasoned filmmaking. Despite its slow moments and raw edges, Moonwalk succeeds in capturing the spirit of a generation and the energy of a bygone cultural movement. Its lack of big stars doesn’t weigh it down—in fact, its strength lies in prioritizing concept and theme over spectacle.
Verdict:
Moonwalk may not be a technical masterpiece, but it wins hearts with its sincere tribute to a vibrant era. It's a film with more soul than shine, and for viewers willing to embrace its nostalgic rhythm, it offers a rewarding experience.
