Developing a time period is a challenge of a low order, opposite to effective transporting audiences in that period. Some carefully chosen props may be sufficient to pull the east, while the latter includes the difficult task of hitting all the right notes that could live through the times to capture the zegatist of the then and to make them reliable for those. In MoonwalkDebutant filmmaker Vinod makes a adventure effort for a later and stylish on his toes, stylish on his toes, highlighting the prestigious dance moves in the early 1990s.

The world she rebuilds is the emergence of a ruptured sub -culture between the groups of youth in the coastal and rural belts of Thiruvananthapuram in the early 1990s or, especially, during that period. Of course, granular VHS tape visuals, Walkman, STD booths, disco-inspired costumes, frizzie long hair, Michael Jackson Fanood and every other nostalgia-evoking materials from those times, but all of them are wovenly woven in a straightforward, simple plot, which holds an emotional bridge.

Part of Moonwalk The zestful appeal rests with young actors with its fresh artists, many of whom were probably not born during the period in which the film is set. Nevertheless, it does not come as a barrier for them in clearly portraying the performance of the youth of that period. Prasanth Pillai’s Gruvie Disco-Siddha Soundtrack, which is in step with Ansar Shah’s cinematography, sets the rhythm quite quickly for the film, managing the audience to hooks and take them through worldly moments. He comes with an era-developed soundtrack that lends the character, color and an unparamed energy for the film.

The lack of a major, earth-struggle in the lives of these youth can be conducted against the film, but they go through enough experiences for their age, from raising avoidable quarrels due to their hot-headedness to take up the pressure of parents, their chosen arts and staple and staple due to the physical makeover that go with it. Romance is fleeting cases that fill the time between their dance practices and demonstrations, but even they are impused with some characters such as individually selected mix-tapes that give gifts to each other.

Vinod Ek, who has written the screenplay with Matthew Varghese and Sunil Gopalakrishnan, along with the rural and urban youth, also play with some interesting juices with the differences of classes coming to play during a conversation with the police force. The way some working class characters mix their new dance moves for their jobs are a pleasure. The film kills its high towards the end with a single dance performance that actually raises it when it appears a little relaxation. The character of the dancer also ends as one of the main attractions of the film. In a way, the struggle of the character is reflective of challenges in bringing the film to theaters without taking a few years without taking a few years.

Moonwalk There is a heartfelt tribute for a time period and for the breakdaning subculture that ruled at campuses and road places during that time.
