5.0 out of 5 stars West Side Story - eat your heart out., March 11, 2008

I expected Josh to be a cheesy rip-off of West Side Story.

Surprisingly, I was wrong. While it had many elements of West Side Story, it had many differences which I loved.

Shahrukh Khan really got to shine as a gang leader, and the songs and dance were really addictive (I still have 'Sailaru Sailare' stuck in my head, and 'Apun Bola' will never stop cracking me up).

If you love West Side Story, you will love Josh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must See, September 24, 2009

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Josh (DVD)

Director Mansoor Khan took the classic American musical West Side Story and turned it into a distinctly Indian tale. While West Side Story harkens back to America's past, Josh is relevant to contemporary India--with its many contentious ethnic and religious factions--and the film is therefore tinged with an immediacy and realism that's missing from the Broadway musical. Josh takes place in Goa, a city on the western coast of India that was colonized by the Portuguese, and many Goans are Catholic and have European names. The opposing gangs in this adaptation are Catholic and Hindu. Max (played by Shahrukh Khan) is the leader of the Catholic gang and Prakash (Sharad Kapoor) the leader of the Hindu gang. Prakash's sensitive brother Rahul (Chandrachur Singh), who wants nothing to do with the gang, falls in love with Max's sister Shirley (Aishwarya Rai). The Indian version interestingly diverges from the American original with a complicating subplot about a shameful family secret and the reverberations of colonialism. - The Bollywood Ticket: The American guide to Indian movies (Subscribe: The Bollywood Ticket)

4.0 out of 5 stars worth watching, May 20, 2009

This review is from: Josh (DVD)

This movie is funny, yet sometimes its sad like most hindi films.What makes this movie worth watching though is the fact that shahrukh khan is playing a role that he never plays. And i think all his fans will enjoy this different style of his acting.
