Joshua: Imai Pol Kaka

A contract killer turned bodyguard trying to protect his love interest from international bad elements.

Though the movie had considerable budget, the execution was terrible.

Listing them in points:

1. Acting was horrible, especially of Varun's. There was no expression at all, with so much stunt training going on, I think he skipped basic acting lessons.

2. The movie is basically a copy of Hitman's bodyguard, Bodyguard series (Netflix), John Wick, Bourne and 100 other movies. Just made with low quality.

3. GVM, in the name of so called "classy movie" has made this movie with cringe filled redundant scenes. The generous use of "English" in his movie doesn't mean it's synonymous to international standards or quality. One easily gets distracted from a scene in just a couple of minutes.

4. Lot of logic loopholes with forced and predictable scenes. In fact a movie need not have a well defined good story, even a simple story could be well executed in a good way through screenplay, cinematography and dialogues but this movie didn't have any of those things

At the end it is just an action movie overshadowed by terrible acting and poor story. Watch if you don't want to use your brain much.

For people with class , this will be a good movie , but won't able to win the heart of ordinary audience who's seeking for masala , enjoyed this movie even though performance of some actors are arguable, however in a package it's a good movie and definitely better than captain miller or ennai noki payum thotta.

You will be seating at edge of your seat with the nail biting chasing sequences and the last 30 minutes of the movie is very good , there is some unwanted character bindings in the movie which can be avoided

In overall it's a good attempt by GVM to stay away from usual template of indian movies.

Didn't watch a film such this film authentic since it reminded me Tamil version of Jones Wicks though it met 100%. The action of Varun is worth to be appreciated for it is pettish triumph to Hollywood Cultured action movie. Exaggeration is neglected through out the film.love affairs and romantic scenes in the manner of Hollywood which I truly expect in the movies. John wicks thriller movie of killing with gun but this film slightly followed the steps of Jone Wicks with Tamil conversation fights scenery.behind the antagonist secrecy is induced towards climax. Finally shocked climax is that her own father is the villain of the born child.

Gvm has gone back to childhood days of learning. Not a gvm film and looks like he is forced to make this film. Story is simple. Go fight and save and it's less than required characters in IMDb ! Where is the story only fight and romance is there.. don't waste your time unnecessarily. No acting only action Joshua dint kill the villians butnkilled the audience. No essense of gvm moves or his style. The man who made cop movies is forced to shoot a non talented Hitman films. Only Krishna kulasekaran acts and rest are like kids fight with guns. Varun throughout the movie same expression . Joshua watch at your own risk !!

The day 24th November 2023 didn't finished for many GVM fans, but sad to see GVM promoting DD's connect with Joshua and DN without any previous story telling to create a hype it's not GVM way just doing what others did for promotions, and also running with a bare foot was not big sacrifice GVM bring expressions on face was big thing for him,once someone said promoting a bad film was a worst thing ever but GVM did this , the film should speak for shots, moments, music, actors but not for it's delay ,songs except Naan un Joshua song any other songs didn't worked out for "me", Naan un Joshua song can't be enjoy randomly singing because the people named can only do these but GVM tells oh it was for the character even though karka karka and Maddy Maddy songs was solemnly for characters but enjoying still, the movie fails in the impact creating on characters, ok it's GVM universe but there should be a feeling between the characters and audience and any relatable things to feel joshua should save kundhavi, but who she what she did can't be explained by few foreign drug cartel dialogue. Krishna character was still standing in the 1st draft of the script , bond between Joshua and Krishna not well defined so the reunion scene was not impactfull GVM has many debts and restless for DN But before 24th Nov there was a question on chiyaan not being responsible for his long pending project to release but at this point, asking that to Vikram is questionable, the trailer cut was amazing for DN and songs too mainly oru manam and his name is John , but to release that now was not the right time, GVM has many better scripts he was a good creator, by vtk he also broke his usual story telling, he need to do big films with big star cast with good scripts may be after those DN release will get a hype but now it is not the right time ,if it is released now what GVM will do for promotions, again and again making interviews in YouTube with same minnale story, kamal Hassan intro scene , varanam ayiram story by mine, kakha kakha suriya fell without stunt double, simbu was comfortable actor, we don't need these stuff GVM, praising those movies was a fan 's part , please GVM do good movies like yours, And again GVM was good creator but not a good producer (not to hate, judge) the prev incidents shows that naragasuran with karthick naren, Harris issue in varanam ayiram , enpt and acham yen bathu was known by all, GVM movies should speak for it's cinema not for its pre release issue like yennai aarindhaal , varanam ayiram, vettaiyadu Velaiyadu , vtk, vtv. The "director GVM" is needed. Still gvm has many good scripts (thuppariyum anand, suraagani, Chennaiyil oru mazhai kaalam) he can do, GVM please do good cinema.
