Josh (transl. Zeal; Hindi pronunciation: [dʒoːʃ]) is a 2000 Indian Hindi-language romantic action film directed by Mansoor Khan, produced by Venus Films and distributed by B4U Films. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Chandrachur Singh, Sharad Kapoor, and Priya Gill. The film, primarily in Hindi with occasional Konkani, was set and filmed in Goa.[2][3] With some plot points inspired by the 1961 musical West Side Story,[4] the film is set in the year 1980, amidst the backdrop of real estate deals and communal violence in Goa.[5]

Josh was released on 9 June 2000, and emerged a moderately successful venture at the box office, grossing 35.06 crore (US$4.1 million) worldwide. It received mixed reviews from critics with praise for its music, cinematography, action sequences and cast performances, but criticism for its script. At the 46th Filmfare Awards, Josh received five nominations, including Best Film and Best Director.[6]
