Synopsis

Set in Trivandrum during the late 1980s, Moonwalk follows a group of college friends who become captivated by the rising global phenomenon of breakdance, inspired by Michael Jackson. Living in a conservative society that frowns upon such Western influences, these young men form a dance group and strive to make their mark on the local scene.

The film explores:

1) The cultural shift from disco to breakdance.
2) The social and familial resistance the boys face.
3) Their struggles and friendships.
4) A climactic performance that ties their journey together.
While the film doesn't follow a conventional narrative arc, it focuses on character backstories, political undertones, and the emotional weight of nostalgia. The character Sura, played by Sibi Kuttappan, stands out with a compelling arc.
