Story:

He makes merry with friends all the time without a care in the world. The college Principal Prakash Raj finds in Sathya a bright student who is wasting his life with his wayward ways. Sathya does not pay any heed to the principal’s advice.
The son of the principal is also a student of the college. He dies while riding pillion in a bike race with Sathya driving the bike. Prakash Raj forgives Sathya and tells him that he is not to be blamed for the death of his son. This brings about a change in Sathya.
He quits college and comes to
Sathya joins the college. Why did he join the college? Does he continue his old ways or does he have a mission to accomplish. To learn about this, watch Josh on the silver screen.
Performance:
Naga Chaitanya makes a dashing debut. He shows no signs of nervousness in facing the camera. He has come up with a natural performance and shows that acting is in his genes. He is good looking and also a decent dancer. Chaitanya has also done a good job in the fight scenes. Chaitanya has definitely arrived on the scene in grand style with josh.
Karthika gives good support to Chaitanya. She does a good job in her role as a teacher who is desperate to join college and have a good time. With a little bit of luck, she is sure to make a mark in Tollywood.
JD Chakravarthy plays a negative role in the film. He does a neat job and breathes life into his role.
Prakash Raj comes up with a brief but an impressive performance. His expressions after his son has died in a bike accident are really moving.
Sunil and Brahmanadam add their bit but their comedy is just average.
Josh is full of Josh and the first half runs in a lighthearted and entertaining manner. It is only in the latter half of the second half that the film turns heavy. The director has a message for the college students.
The film is targeted primarily at the youth and hence has very little to offer to the family audience. The weak comedy is also a minus.
It is now up to the students to make the film a big hit.
