Josh (2000)
7/10
WEST SIDE STORY but it's in INDIA, instead of AMERICA
22 January 2024
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...
