Josh marks the 7th collaboration between Jeet and Ravi Kinagi. The song "Khunjechi toke raat berate", sung by Jeet Gannguli and "Keno Aajkal" sung by Nachiketa, both composed by Gannguli himself, became chartbuster upon its release.

Plot

Indradeep Chowdhury aka Indra (Jeet) is a free-spirited personality and no-nonsense engineering student, studying from the Kharagpur Engineering College, who 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. While the marriage preparation continues, everyone begins to suspect Anu. But Anu eventually begins to relate with everyone of the family. She becomes like a child with Indra's nephew and niece. Indra's sister-in-law (Srabanti Malakar) and younger sister also becomes friendly with her. Meanwhile, Indra's grandfather starts to be able to something loving relationship between Indra and Anu. Bit by bit, everyone in the family makes Anu like their nearest one.

At the end of the marriage, Binay Ganguly (Joy Badlani), family friend of Indra's father, insults Anu and tells her to leave Indra and bribes her money to leave as he had a plan of making Indra his son-in-law, by getting him spliced with her daughter Lisa (Anindita Banerjee). Indra turned furious to Binay and promises that he would marry Anu, whatever may come. One day, just as Anu and Indra go out to eat, some goons become apparent there to kill them and Indra, in a fit of deep rage and anger, beats up all the rival gang members, chases them down a few miles. Realizing Anu having been left behind, he goes back to find she is gone and then instantly becomes deeply dejected and despondent. Indra's father sees him looking for Anu there and takes him to home. He confronts Indra and forces him to reveal about Anu's identity, where Indra reveals his past.

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. During the winter vacation, Indra visits Rajib's home village at Prantik, near Bolpur. Anu, who is Rajib's sister, returns from London and is impressed by Indra, who continually impresses her based on her tastes. He gets along well with Rajib's and Anu's family. Indra convinces them that he would make a prospective groom for Anu. Anu's family, mainly her brother Surya Narayan (Tapas Paul) is known to be like a 'God' to the regional farmers in the village, as he revolts for them against the landscams taking place there and tortures done on them, by a gangster named Rudra (Puneet Issar) and his brother Nikhil (Bharat Kaul), whose other identity is 'Terror of Bolpur'. When Anu takes Indra to the temple for a visit without Surya Nrayan's knowledge, they get attacked by Nikhil and his group members, and Nikhil gets hold of Anu and threatens to kill her. In a swift action of bravery and skill, Indra knocks down the rival group member. After this incident, Surya Narayan tells Indra about the violent happenings in the village.

Surya Narayan explains how he is a master's degree holder from a prestigious university from Pune and how his wife (Laboni Sarkar) is also a master's degree holder in integrated mathematics. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the villages, the rivalry is deadly and fatal. He ultimately says, even though the villages are violent, he will remain a noble person, with high ideals.

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. Seeing the situation over control, Indra flees to the railway station taking Rajib and Anu far away from the place. When some goons attack them there, Indra fights with them and all on a sudden to his surprise, Indra discovers Rajib being stabbed by Nikhil. With much anger and rage, Indra kills Nikhil and runs away to the station taking severly 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 process, Indra becomes a rival of Rudra as he killed his younger brother Nikhil. Rudra, who is haunted by the death of his brother, orders his gang members to find out Indra's whereabouts. Gathering some informations, he comes to Kharagpur Engineering College to know about Indra's address and goes to Kolkata. In the mean time, the college authority informs Indra for his awareness. Then Indra removes all his identities from the electoral roll and other places.

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. He reveals that he has been tracing them since some previous days for their safety. Feeling that she is not safe here anymore, Indra plans to send her to London, but Anu is not happy with his decision as she loves him. On the day of the flight, Anu meets Trisha at the airport, who is coming to Kolkata to reach Indra and Rajib. She tells Anu about Indra's devotion for her. She also reveals Anu's family chose Indra as her bridegroom before they were killed. Anu realizes she cannot leave Indra and leaves the airport. She manages to find Indra, who was fighting with Rudra and his men to avenge the death of Rajib and his family. After Indra defeats Rudra, he and Anu happily reunite and leave, while Rudra is killed by Mangal.
