Josh (2010 film)

P. Venkatesh Josh is a 2010 Indian Bengali language action thriller film directed by Ravi Kinagi.

It follows the journey of Indra, a talented engineering student with a little carefree attitude, taking revenges after being a witness of the violent murder of his best friend Rajib and his family excluding his sister Anuradha as they protested and fought against the land scams and torture done on the farmers by a landlord as well as a criminal named Rudra, in Prantik, near Bolpur.

The screenplay and dialogues were written by N.K Salil, with cinematography handled by Kumud Verma and editing by Rabiranjan Maitra.

He returns to his home in Kolkata for his younger sister's (Debparna Chakraborty) wedding with a distraught and frightened Anuradha alias Anu (Srabanti Chatterjee), whom Indra introduces as his friend to his family.

The film goes to a flashback, where Indra, Trisha Mukherjee (Sandhita Chatterjee) and Rajib Chowdhury (Anshuman Gupta) are best friends, studying from the same college.

After a few days though, at the village fair held on the occasion of Saraswati Puja, in the most ungrateful manner with fierce brutality and a show of cowardice, Rudra and his gang members murder Surya Narayan and his wife.

With much anger and rage, Indra kills Nikhil and runs away to the station taking severely injured Rajib on his shoulder and Anu.

But on the platform, Rajib dies as it was bleeding from the stabbed place on his body and before his death, Indra makes the promise to him that he will take up the responsibility of Anu and that he will eventually marry her.

Quickly, he flees away taking Anu to Kolkata by a train making departure, when he notices Rudra's henchmen running to reach them.

In the present time, Mangal (Supriyo Dutta), who was Surya Narayan's trusted assistant, reaches Indra's residence and brings Anu in front of them.
