Josh Movie Review

It is difficult to believe that Dil Raju the man with a golden hand and a producer who is blessed with the quality of judging moviegoer's pulse correctly and has delivered so many hit films can actually become instrumental in selecting a story that is clichéd for the launch of Nagarjuna's son.

What's even more worse is roping in a director who has messed up the film, he has not only not highlighted one single quality in the hero but disappointed the audiences with a very ordinary approach to direction. There are occasions like this when one misses having a reputed, happening, well-versed director who would add and lend his experience to filmmaking. There could be a chance of such a film misfiring too but then atleast you know he had worked on giving a 'pro-active' image of the hero.


Josh has nothing outstanding or even average to offer, it's a poor debut for all the newcomers. The only dialogue that is sensible is when Prakashraj tells Chaitanya that 'college paatam cheppi pareeksha pedthundi, jeevitham pareeksha petti paatam nerputhundi.' Naga Chaitanya is confined to being shown as serious and his dances and fights are normal.

The film opens with Satya (Naga Chaitanya) quitting studies and wanting to go to Hyderabad. Why he wants to go to Hyderabad is revealed in the second half of the story. The film is boring and doesn't move, if it moves you know what happens next. Dialogues are silly, hardly makes an impact.

Naga Chaitanya might take a while to get a foothold in TFI which is not at all a difficult job but till then Josh will remain as an embarrassing debut for him and also for the heroine. There is absolutely no chemistry between the lead pair and the hero is short by industry standards.If you are curious to watch the newcomers perform, wait till it comes on your cable TV.
