The soundtrack of the film was composed by Jeet Gannguli and Samidh-Rishi, while the background score was by S.P Venkatesh. It follows around Indra, a talented engineering student with a little carefree attitude, taking revenges after being witness of the violent murder of his best friend Rajib and his family excluding his sister Anuradha as they protested and fought against the land scams and torture done on the farmers by a landlord as well as a criminal named Rudra, in Prantik, near Bolpur.

The screenplay and dialogues were written by N.K Salil, with cinematography handled by Kumud Verma and editing by Rabiranjan Maitra. The action sequences were designed by Judo Ramu, while dance was choreographed by Duraiswamy Shankaraiyaa and Baba Yadav. It was an all-time blockbuster at the box office with a successful run consisting of 150 days in theatres. It received positive reviews from the critics and praise for the brilliant storyline and dialogues portraying the movements on behalf of saving the paddy lands, Jeet and Tapas Paul's outstanding performance, action sequences and Ravi Kinagi's direction.

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.
