WATCH | 28,000-strong crowd responds to Vicky Kaushal’s ‘How’s the josh’; Varun Dhawan's energetic act at Wagah Border on Republic Day

The ‘Josh was high’ at the Wagah Border near Amritsar as B-Town stars joined in the Republic Day celebrations on Saturday. While stars of currently trending ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’, Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam met the 28,000-strong crowd, Varun Dhawan put an energetic dance performance.

The Wagah Border is a popular tourist spot and the military exercise of the Border Security Force (BSF) soldiers draws huge crowds usually. However, with Republic Day and the presence of Bollywood stars, the stands were filled to the brim. 

Yami and Vicky looked uber stylish in their traditional attires as they waved at the crowd gathered. The slogan ‘How’s the josh’ from the movie is all over, from social media posts, daily conversations to even Prime Minister Narendra Modi using it once, but it’s the first time a 28,000-strong crowd might have responded, ‘High, sir’ to the latter’s goosebump-inducing war cry. It just shows the impact the movie had on audiences.

Vicky loved the experience and praising the soldiers, captioned it, “Absolutely thrilled and honoured to celebrate #70thRepublicDaywith our First Line of Defence- the BSF Jawaans and a crowd of 28,000 Indians at the Atari Wagah Border. “HOW’s THE JOSH?!” 

Yami called the euphoria at the venue one to ‘die for.’ The duo also called the BSF officers 'Prade Champs' and posed with the young audiences.

Varun, on the other hand, displayed some energetic grooves on the popular patriotic song ‘Hindustani’ from the unreleased movie ‘Dus.’ The actor jumps on a platform and is full of energy during his act, dressed in a black T-shirt, army-print pants, neon shoes and golden streaks in his hair.

As he finishes his act and salutes, the dancers behind him form the pyramid brilliantly. He is later mobbed by many Sikhs, whose grip he escapes, but later takes the tricolour from them and waves it amid loud cheers from the crowd.

The ‘October’ star is currently shooting for ‘3’, reportedly the third installment of ‘Any Body Can Dance’ (ABCD) franchise in Punjab and the turn of events makes us feel if it is a sequence from the movie. 

Varun called it an ‘incredible honour’ to perform live at the venue and also shared a video to reveal that ‘3 is coming.’
