Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha Twitter review - Netizens are all for this 'GVM-style action' film despite its 'old story'

Gautham Vasudev Menon’s long-awaited action-drama Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha, starring newbie Varun, has finally been released in theatres. And netizens have many opinions about the film. After watching the film in theatres, many X (formerly Twitter) users shared their views on the platform. The film has received mixed reviews from critics, but audiences have been praising the director for creating yet another ‘GVM-style’ action flick. 

Despite its "old story", viewers have hailed the action sequences and cinematography. Praising Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha for its fresh stunt sequences, one user wrote, “Yes the story is a bit old. Actor performances and surprising factors could’ve been better but as a whole, Joshua was never dull or boring at any moment. It’s worth a try. For a film that was shot years back, the action sequences were still fresh and amazing.”

Varun was 'breeze' to work with, says GVM

In a recent interview, GVM said that it is a challenge to explain an action film to any hero, because it involves a lot of obstacles, including body doubles and risk-taking factors. However, he said that it was easy to work with Varun, who the director said was "breeze" because not only was he eager to start shooting but was also committed to the responsibilities his role required.
