Joshua: Imai Pol Kaka

GVM is a brand in Tamil cinema and his films have always been in limelight at times of release & indeed a notable filmaker of our times...This project was designed way back a few years for Thalapathy Vijay as "YOHAN" giving a "BOND" texture for Tamil cinema after a long time...

Action films aren't new to him but this kind of a "Bond" film is a fresh attempt. Just like in the Bond movies you get the name Bond repeatedly heard, here the name Joshua keeps ringing all the time... The romance fizzles out as soon as it begins and it gets reignited too without any spark. GVM who has masterd with romance scores a zero here...What is amusing is the fact that there are so many action blocks that get underappreciated for its illogical writing...

Varun does well in action scenes, but then falters when it comes to emotions & performance...Raahei looks confused most of the times and her part is just a running woman behind Varun... Krishna is good in a short role & DD does a decent job...

SR. Kathir's cinematography works in parts. Background score by Karthik is effective and the songs though decent do not work on the screen...

Overall JOSHUA is a better package for action lovers & arguably far better than "ENNAI NOKI PAUUM THOTA" & "ACHAM YENBADHU MADAMAIDA"
