How is the josh: The new mantra of the nation
Now, the dialogue 'How is the josh' from the movie has become the new mantra of the country which even Prime Minister Narendra Modi used while addressing a gathering after the inauguration of National Museum of Indian Cinema in Mumbai recently.
The dialogue was said several times in the movie by actor Vicky Kaushal.
The movie is based on the surgical strike conducted by Indian Army on Sept 29, 2016.
The events go back to Sept 18, 2016, when 19 soldiers were killed in an early morning attack by Pakistani terrorists.
The attack was carried out at the 12 Infantry Brigade headquarters in Uri.
On Sept 29, Indian Army's Special Forces conducted “surgical strikes” on terror launch pads across Line of Control (LoC), winning appreciations from countrymen.
The incident occurred during the current tenure of Modi as the PM.
