Moonwalk movie review: This tribute to Michael Jackson is yet another example of why Malayalam cinema soars while Bollywood struggles

Moonwalk movie review: Just imagine how cool it would have been if Varun Dhawan's character had appeared on screen carrying a ripe, juicy jackfruit on his head, heading home after burning up the dance floor in the climax of director Remo D’Souza's ABCD 2 (2015) or Street Dancer 3D (2020).

You know, a jackfruit that could also be used to cook different dishes and would feed his character's entire impoverished family for a day or two. And since he’s too poor to afford an autorickshaw or any other transport, he has no choice but to carry it on his head. The instance sounds relatable, right? Because this is something that has already happened or could happen in our lives at any moment. But, unfortunately, Bollywood films no longer offer this kind of relatability. Not just Varun, it’s almost impossible to imagine any of the mainstream Hindi actors doing a role that requires them to perform such an ordinary action on screen, simply because it lacks the ‘glitz and glam’.
