Before walking into Jolly LLB 3, I revisited Jolly LLB 1 and 2 as further studies. Its power lies in fascinating plot and excellent performance.
Jolly LLB 3 Comments: Akshay Kumar brings his trademark prank to Jolly.
So, the biggest question is: Does the third part match the benchmark set by its predecessor?
About Jolly LLB 3
Subhash Kapoor returns as a writer and director, causing court chaos again. This time, the case was not a car crash or a fake encounter. Instead, the story begins with the suicide of a farmer in Rajasthan after the loss of land. The plot has rapidly escalated according to land acquisition protests in Uttar Pradesh in 2011. At its core is the wealthiest businessman in India, Haribhai Khetan (Gajraj Rao), who dreams of building the town of “Bikaner to Boston” on the occupied land. Jollys, Arshad Warsi and Akshay Kumar all find themselves entangled in the case, laying the foundation for a fierce legal duel.
Kapoor is not deviating from familiar templates. The characters slip back to their characters, which immediately relaxes the audience. The plot is simple, with a breeze blowing in the first half, and although the scene before the interval is intended to hit, it is flat.
The lower half
The second half is where the bets rise. After basic work, we finally see how to pursue justice. Music is a drawback here. The emotional repertoire feels unnecessary, making the narrative less.
The writing is distinct, with nods filled with humor and cheeky real life nods, including a thin reference to a businessman “VM” who fled to London after defaulting on a large loan. These touches make the irony alive.
The actors anchored the movie. Akshay Kumar brings his trademark prank to Jolly, lighting the scene with a quick front-line and delivering the expected exciting court monologue with faith. Arshad Warsi continues to be effortless, humorous, gel-like with Akshay, making their standoff a treat to watch.
The weak link is the opponent. Gajraj Rao is undoubtedly a great actor and brought to the screen, but his character feels cliché in many cases. The error lies in writing.
Saurabh Shukla is once again the judge, and his command screen is present to remind you why he is an integral part of this franchise. Seema Biswas added Heft as Janki Rajaram Solanki, and Ram Kapoor made a reliable impact as a lawyer.
Female Leaders Helpless – Huma Qureshi is Jolly 2's wife and Amrita Rao, as Jolly 1's 1 barely gets any big moment, thus becoming a background character in the larger drama.
Overall, Jolly LLB 3 may not be better than the first two movies, but it keeps the spirit of court drama alive with enough laughter and solid performances, making it a worthy addition to the series.
