Joshi (Malayalam: ജോഷി, also known as Joshiy, and Joshy) is an Indian film director who works in Malayalam cinema, most known for his family-action films, including New Delhi, Nirakkoottu, Nair Saab, Naduvazhikal, Kauravar, Dhruvam, No.20 Madras Mail, Kuttettan, Lelam, Vazhunnor, Pathram, Naran, Twenty:20 and Christian Brothers.
He was also once the Chairman of Malayalam Cine Technicians Association (MACTA). Joshi and veteran scriptwriter Dennis Joseph together made major hits for Mammooty and Mohanlal during the 80's and 90's.
How can the Government of India, and the States bring about some rules and regulations in the way we drive. The highways must be modernized by building more services at it interjunctions and goods rest houses and good clean and efficent hotels, so people can take rest and drive without sleepeness. Good technology on roads such as electronic lightings and stop signs and no alcohol while driving. Police must look out for speeding and driving under Intoxication. This will help tragic deaths. My prayers to the grieving families.
