==Personal life==
Joshiy made his directorial debut in the 1978 film ''[[Tiger Salim]]'', but it was the 1980 film ''[[Moorkhan (film)|Moorkhan]]'' that was his breakthrough in Malayalam cinema. He is regarded as the pioneer of [[film noir]] and [[action thriller]]s in Malayalam.

==Early life==
Joshiy, the sixth child of Vasudevan and Gowri, was raised in [[Varkala]], [[Thiruvananthapuram]], India, alongside his eight siblings—three brothers and five sisters. His father, Vasudevan, worked as a canteen operator at the [[Singapore Naval Base]] before returning to India to establish a cinema theatre, Varkala Sasi. Joshiy's father died when he was six years old, after which his elder brother Shashankan and brother-in-law Sreenivasan (who named him Joshy) took on family responsibilities and expanded the theater business by opening two additional theatres: Varkala Vasu and Attingal Gowri. Varkala Sasi hosted both film screenings and stage plays, providing Joshiy early exposure to art.<ref name="Mathrubhumi1">{{cite news |author1=Bhanuprakash |title='അന്ന് ജയൻ മാറിച്ചിന്തിച്ചിരുന്നെങ്കിൽ ഒരുപക്ഷേ, ജോഷി എന്ന ഇന്നത്തെ സംവിധായകൻ ഉണ്ടാകുമായിരുന്നില്ല' |url=https://www.mathrubhumi.com/movies-music/features/director-joshiy-exclusive-interview-part-1-filmography-of-joshiy-1.8202170 |access-date=31 October 2024 |work=[[Mathrubhumi]] |date=8 January 2023 |language=ml}}</ref>
 
Joshiy attended [[Sree Narayana College, Cherthala]], but left without completing his degree.

During college, he and his junior, [[Ratheesh]]—who would later become an actor—were recruited with 30 other students as [[junior artist]]s in the 1969 film ''[[Koottukudumbam]]'', appearing as spectators in a dance scene featuring [[Sheela]] and [[Sarada (actress)|Sarada]].

Joshiy (born 18 July 1952) is an Indian film director who works predominantly in Malayalam cinema and also directed Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada-language films.[1]

Joshiy made his directorial debut in the 1978 film Tiger Salim, but it was the 1980 film Moorkhan that was his breakthrough in Malayalam cinema. He is regarded as the pioneer of film noir and action thrillers in Malayalam.

Early life[edit | edit source]

Joshiy, the sixth child of Vasudevan and Gowri, was raised in Varkala, Thiruvananthapuram, India, alongside his eight siblings—three brothers and five sisters. His father, Vasudevan, worked as a canteen operator at the Singapore Naval Base before returning to India to establish a cinema theatre, Varkala Sasi. Joshiy's father died when he was six years old, after which his elder brother Shashankan and brother-in-law Sreenivasan (who named him Joshy) took on family responsibilities and expanded the theater business by opening two additional theatres: Varkala Vasu and Attingal Gowri. Varkala Sasi hosted both film screenings and stage plays, providing Joshiy early exposure to art.[2]

Joshiy attended Sree Narayana College, Cherthala, but left without completing his degree. Joshiy, who showed little interest in formal education, declined an offer from Sreenivasan to join the Pune Film Institute, preferring instead to explore opportunities directly in the film industry. During college, he and his junior, Ratheesh—who would later become an actor—were recruited with 30 other students as junior artists in the 1969 film Koottukudumbam, appearing as spectators in a dance scene featuring Sheela and Sarada.

Career[edit | edit source]

In 1969, at the age of 20 and during his final year of college, Joshiy left school to pursue opportunities as an assistant director.[2] He moved to Chennai to try his luck in the film industry and began his career working under renowned directors M. Krishnan Nair and J. Sasikumar. He also assisted Crossbelt Mani and he was the assistant director of Aanayum Ambariyum in 1978 film directed by Crossbelt Mani. He made his debut as director through Tiger Salim, released in 1978. His next movie was Moorkhan which was followed by Raktham. He directed Prem Nazir, Srividya in Ithihasam.[citation needed]

Following this, Joshiy directed many films including Kaahalam, Sharam, Karthavyam, Dheera and Aarambham. In 1983, he collaborated with Mammootty for the first time, for Aa Rathri. This was followed by Kodumkattu, came out and a series of films including Bhookambam, Kodathi, Alakadalinakkare, Muhurtham Pathnonnu Muppathinu and Minimol Vathicanil and Sandharbham.[citation needed]

In 1985, Joshiy directed Nirakkoottu, based on the script by debutant Dennis Joseph. Joshiy, Mammootty, and Dennis Joseph continued working together with Nyayavidhi, Shyama and Veendum. He made his debut in Hindi films in 1984 and achieved national fame when he directed Dharm Aur Qanoon starring Rajesh Khanna in a double role along with Dharmendra. It had box office collection of ₹6.5 crores in 1984[3] and went on to become a hit at the Indian boxoffice.[4]

The films Veendum, Nyayavidhi, Aayiram Kannukal, Sayam Sandhya, Kshamichu Ennoru Vakku followed. In the same year, Joshiy directed New Delhi under Jubilee Productions which was a blockbuster and the highest grossing Malayalam film at the time ( his third Industrial hit ) and was a comeback film for Mammootty. In 1987, he directed Itihaas (1987 film), starring Raaj Kumar in the lead in Hindi, which was remake of Ithihasam. In 1988, Joshiy directed three films, all scripted by Dennis Joseph and Mammootty in the lead role - Dhinarathrangal, Sangham and Thanthram. In 1989, he again teamed with Mohanlal for Naduvazhikal. In 1989, Joshiy brought out a military film. Nair Saab, completely shot in Kashmir, with Mammootty in the title role. Mahayanam, his third film of the year. No.20 Madras Mail was released in 1990 with Mohanlal in lead role, followed by the investigation thriller Ee Thanutha Veluppan Kalathu. Kuttettan was his third film of that year. Joshiy's next film was Kauravar in 1992.[citation needed]

In 1993, Dhruvam got released, followed by Sainyam in 1994. His debut into Telugu cinema was in 1994 through Angarakshugudu, starring Rajashekhar and Meena in leading roles. In 1997 Joshiy brought out Bhoopathi with Suresh Gopi in the lead role. Joshiy joined with Gopi and Renji Panicker for Lelam and Pathram in 1997 and 1999. His next two films were Praja and Dubai in 2001 which performed poorly at the box office.[citation needed] He took a break after these films. In 2004, Joshiy made a comeback with Runway, this time Dileep in the leading role and was followed by Maambazhakkaalam. Naran released in 2005 starring Mohanlal, followed by Lion in 2006.[citation needed]

His next films included Pothan Vava (2006) and July 4 (2007) followed by Nasrani (2007) and Janmam (2007). In 2008 he directed Twenty:20 bringing together almost all Mollywood actors. It was followed by the thriller Robinhood in 2009. Christian Brothers released in 2011, a multi-star film with Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Dileep and Sarath Kumar. In 2012, he directed Run Baby Run, another film with Mohanlal in the lead. It was followed by Lokpal in 2013 and Salaam Kashmier 2014 with Jayaram and Suresh Gopi in lead roles.
