Josef – Born In Grace is a Hindi movie released on 9 Dec, 2022. The movie is directed by Susant Misra and featured Victor Banerjee, Subrat Dutta, Anamika Goswami and Debasish Sahu as lead characters.
The story of an orphan boy. Even as he is struggling to come to terms with what life has given him, he is sent away to another parish by his guardian, a missionary doctor. He returns as a talented cook but he also becomes an alcoholic, haunted by his unhappy past. The missionary tries to help him but it’s not easy.
The film is based on a short story by Umakanta Mahapatra. Although the story is alright, it doesn’t have the ingredients of a masala entertainer. The screenplay, penned by Zakir Khan, Sudarshan Juyal and Susant Misra, moves at a slow pace and becomes very boring after a point of time. Consequently, the viewer doesn’t quite get involved in the drama. Dialogues, written by Vijay Pandit and the three screenplay writers, are average.
