Josh

As i kid, I really was full of Josh watching the rebellious Max played by SRK. Ofcourse he was the reason I was so much interested in the film. Then it was Aishwarya and the Anu Malik's soulful music. 'Haye Mera Dil' and 'Hum to Dil se haare' truly evoked the emotions of the true lovers.

23 years later, yesterday i watched Speilberg's 2021 Musical 'West Side Story' and found so much similarities. Obviously, Mansoor Khan got an idea from this Story which was already much loved in Hollywood. Which itself is inspired by the Romeo and Juliet.

So basically it is Indian version of the same plot. I think it was good adaptation. But could have been better if the Aamir Khan had done the Love interest of Aishwarya. And this would be a perfect cast. Songs are perfect. SRK and Aish did full justice to their role.

New audience can give it a try... If you have watched West Side Story or Romeo or Juliet first, then can enjoy more I would say. Few of my friends who are not a SRK fan, i binge watched with them and they quite liked this movie and appreciated SRK.

My Ratings : 6.5/10 Music Rating : 5/5

Hum bhi hai JoSH mein.. I danced on this song in my school farewell. So memories u see.. ho fellas...

Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwariya Rai play twins that have fun terrorizing innocent, law abiding people under the banner of protecting what they consider to belong to them.(as in a town and its people) I found this to be an entertaining film which showcases Shah Rukh Khan's acting ability. I'm sure he received many fans after the release of this film. I do feel the duo were a little close to be brother and sister, but this could just be cultural differences. Aishwariya Rai is as cute as a sister should be, but tried too hard to look young. Girls can't possibly be bouncing around India chewing gum and throwing their hair around like that. Can they?

Mansoor Khan's "Josh" has two rival gangs - Eagles - led by Max (Shahrukh) and Bicchu headed by Prakash (Sharad Kapoor)vying for fame and property. Max's twin Shirley (Aishwarya)falls in love w/ Prakash's bro (Chandrachur).

Good perforamances from SRK;AR;and Sharad Kapoor.A pleasant music score,impressive action sequences and beautiful cinematography in Goa (India) hides the absence of a tight script and sloppy direction. Do not keep your expectations too high.

Chandruchur Singh as Rahul ruined the movie for me other than the bad direction of the film. He didn't fit the role and did fairly but they could have had someone else play his part. He got annoying after a while and wouldn't have mind if Max chocked him to death. Anyone had any idea who could have played it better? I am not aware of who was known when this film was made but if I can recast the movie from the actors now, I would want it to be Abhishek and maybe potentially Saif or Ajay (except he would look older than many in the film).

JOSH had good scenes but too many lacking so it could have been potentially better. Aishwarya and Shah Rukh have great chemistry even as twins and I would say did justice with what the movie had to offer which you would know once you have watched it. It isn't one of Shah Rukhs or Aishwaryas best movie but I would love to see the two star in a movie again! The songs were okay and Upun Bola was fun to watch. Also the solo Aishwarya did towards the second half of the movie. She, I would say compared to the movies I've seen, by far the best dancer in Bollywood. The ending was too predictable. Even though they tried to suspense it, it wasn't good enough. Between 6 and 7 out of 10. Without Shah Rukh or Aishwarya, it would be 5. Overall, I would say this movie is average. Watch it for Shah Rukh and Aishwarya chemistry! :)

It's not a bad movie, but it wasn't good either.

I found the acting average. Of course, I watched because there was Shahruk Khan.
