Malayalam movie ‘Moonwalk' puts spotlight back on Kerala's breakdance troupe
The newly released Malayalam film Moonwalk has once again put Kerala's 1980s breakdance culture back in the limelight. Inspired by the state's earliest real-life dance troupe, the Footloosers, real-life, the film brings to screen their journey from backstreet performers to a recognised dance by Vinod AK, Moonwalk draws heavily from the early days of the Footloosers, founded by Santhosh Kumar — better known as Babu Master. 'I wanted to be a fighter in movies. I was so attracted to the stunt scenes in movies. You know superstar Jayan was my uncle,' Babu Master considered Malayalam cinema's first action hero, was a cultural icon — and his influence clearly rubbed off on his nephew. But for Babu, a fascination with stunts eventually evolved into something else. 'The Tamil and Telugu movies used to have songs featuring some dance moves. That's what later caught my attention. With time, we had better dance sequences in films. Since I had trained in martial arts, I caught it quickly,' he said. In 1986, Babu and his friends — Padmakumar, Praveen, Ajith, Riyas, and his brother Sajeesh Kumar — formed a dance troupe called Crimmers while in arts college. By 1988, they had renamed themselves the Footloosers and began performing wherever they could find a stage. 'Seeing our dedication, one kind soul at arts college offered us a stage and Rs 500. It was a huge amount back then. Not many stages or events were there,' Babu group quickly became known not just for their dance moves but also for their style, influencing local fashion trends. They were always performance-ready — even carrying cassettes in their pockets in case an opportunity rise of composer AR Rahman and dancer-actor Prabhu Deva marked a turning point. 'We got songs and performances like Mukkala Mukkabala, Hamma Humma etc. We started making theme-based choreography with a story in it which I think people enjoyed more,' said choreographer and trainer Vipin, who joined the troupe in 2004, said the film's release has brought long-overdue attention. 'I joined Footloosers in 2004. It was Babu master who started assigning me teams to do choreography for and those who know us personally, especially our students, knew that the movie was based on our lives. I have never done anything else in life other than dancing. To see many people talking about this dance group today is such a happy feeling,' he has choreographed for around 65 films over the decades. Moonwalk was initially envisioned as a documentary, but the director chose to fictionalise it for broader appeal. Since its release, the team says old friends and former members have been reconnecting. 'A video of ours has gone viral now. Many are appreciating us today and it is only because we never gave up on our passion,' Babu by Listin Stephen and Lijo Jose Pellissery, Moonwalk features many newcomers and is now streaming on JioHotstar.- EndsMust Watch

Fatima Sana Shaikh On Women Marrying After 30: "The Taboo Is A Little Less Now"
Fatima Sana Shaikh recently shared her thoughts on the evolving societal landscape surrounding marriage. The actress shared that the perceptions around women and marriage after the age of 30 are shifting. While traditional views are still prevalent, there's a growing acceptance of individual choices. Fatima Sana Shaikh Opens Up About Marriage After 30 In an interview with IANS, Fatima Sana Shaikh claimed that society's expectation of an individual to get married by a certain age is far less now than it used to be. Fatima Sana Shaikh said, "It happens, but it's less, I think. Earlier, it used to be more prominent. Now, relationships have changed, the meanings of relationships have changed. A lot more people are okay to be alone or they are concentrating on different things. So, society is accepting that. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I think the taboo is a little less." Sharing a sweet memory of her first love, Fatima recalled that her then-partner once decorated the path from the door to the room with flowers on her birthday. "There were flowers everywhere, and around the cake, there were candles lit all over," she recalled. However, the surprise didn't go as planned as most of the candles had melted away by the time she arrived. "We had to clean it all up later," the actress said. Fatima described it as a special kind of love that was "simple and sincere." She added, "I was very young and didn't even have Facebook or Instagram back then."
