PM Modi invoked the popular line from the recently released film Uri: The Surgical Strike.

“How is the josh,” he asked, drawing laughter and applause.

“Films and society are a reflection of each other. What you see in films is happening in society and what is happening in society is seen in films. This shows India is changing.
