is a sequel to subhash kapoor' s
jolly llb
, a satire on the country' s legal system. the movie, which also starred boman irani and amrita rao in pivotal roles, was lauded with the national film award for best feature film in hindi .
the trailer of jolly llb 2 is out already and we can definitely say that the actor won’t disappoint his fans with this new outing. akshay is extremely good in certain genres, like comedy and action and those are his forte which is why jolly llb 2 will be treat for all of them .
jolly llb 2 has joined last year' s airlift, housefull 3 and rustom to become akshay' s fourth rs 100 - crore grosser since 2016 .
the central board of film certification (cbfc) has granted akshay kumar' s upcoming courtroom drama' jolly llb 2' a u / a certificate .
on the whole, jolly llb is a power - packed courtroom drama. but, most importantly, it celebrates the spirit of the common man seeking justice and impartiality most effectively. just don’t miss this jolly good film !
kapoor’s jolly llb starred arshad warsi as small - time lawyer, jagdish tyagi, better known as jolly, who dreams of becoming a star litigator and gets embroiled in a high - profile hit - and - run case .
' jolly llb 2' which stars akshay kumar, huma qureshi, annu kapoor and saurabh shukla in pivotal roles, is slated to hit screens on february 10 .
at a success party of the recently released jolly llb 2, the makers were asked if they are planning to roll out another movie in the courtroom drama franchise .
jolly llb 2 leaves you with a strong sense of deja vu. annu kapoor is among the weaker points of the film. kapoor' s character is tolerable to a certain point before saturation hits you like a bus. huma qureshi doesn' t have much to do in jolly llb 2. the supporting cast is chosen well .
actor arshad warsi says for jolly llb 2, the sequel to his hit movie jolly llb, the producers wanted a bigger star than him and so they have chosen akshay kumar. while he admits he is a tad bothered, but believes that for the movie makers, casting a star like bollywood’s ‘khiladi’ is less of a risk .
the paan and people of lucknow are captured well on camera. kudos to subhash kapoor for making his jolly llb 2 on a believable plot. these are all real cases we have seen, heard of, grown up with. from references to sunny deol to what actually goes on inside a courtroom, jolly llb 2 has it all .
there is a real world outside bollywood courtrooms where a common man can’t differentiate between a corrupt judicial system and a fraudulent police administration. and this world comes charging at you before you can look away. add a few bullets and some dark humour and you get jolly llb 2, the second film in the jolly llb (2013) franchise .
jolly llb 2 is a complete entertainment package, a movie that raises the right questions about india’s justice system while bringing us moments of fun and laughter at the same time .
jolly llb 2 fails to meet the high standards of its predecessor, despite having a fine cast of akshay kumar, saurabh shukla, huma qureshi, kumud mishra and annu kapoor .
jolly llb 2’s music is strictly average and low on longevity. baawra mann is one of the nicest tracks from the album. a 2. 5 / 5 for this soundtrack .
fox star studios ceo vijay singh said :
i think that' s a very easy question. yes... there will definitely be a jolly llb 3' .
jolly llb 2 is a film worth its name and your money. this akshay starrer will not disappoint but if you start to miss arshad, do look out for his cameo appearance .
the use of local slang sometimes looks forced and the film does away with the innocence of jolly llb (2013), in order to become a tearjerker. the ploy doesn’t work .
in the courtroom drama called jolly llb 2, jagdishwar mishra aka jolly (akshay kumar) is the lead actor. jolly llb 2 is generously peppered with one - liners that deserve to be repeated. most of these high - voltage lines are mouthed by the film' s pivot, justice sunderlal tripathi (an inimitable saurabh shukla). shukla brings his humour and straight - faced dialogue - delivery from the first jolly llb, including slight references to it. however, this is a different courtroom. this is lucknow and you' re told
muskuraiye, aap lucknow mein hain ,
even as goons blow bullets through your brains .
heard few scenes of
jolly llb 2
last night. i don' t have words to describe my excitement and eagerness to start the film ,
arshad posted on twitter .
in the first part, arshad warsi played jolly while the antagonist' s role was essayed by boman irani. in the second part, akshay kumar plays jolly while annu kapoor plays the evil lawyer. saurabh shukla, who won the national award for best supporting actor for his performance in jolly llb, reprises his role of justice sunderlal tripathi in this film .
even after receiving mostly good reviews and earning over rs 50 crore over the weekend, reaching the rs 100 - crore mark at the box office looks like an uphill task for jolly llb 2 .
saurabh shukla is an indian film, theatre and television actor, director and screenwriter. he is best known for his work in films like satya (1998), barfi! (2012), jolly llb (2013), kick (2014), and pk (2014). in 2014, he won the national film award for best supporting actor for his role in jolly llb .
as such, the producers of irada feel that releasing their film on february 10 will mean not being swallowed up by titans raees and kaabil. however, february 10 would mean clashing with akshay' s jolly llb 2. releasing irada on february 10 is being construed as an angry arshad warsi' s method of getting back at the jolly llb 2 team for replacing him with akshay kumar .
while the first jolly llb film featured arshad warsi in the lead role, the second movie features akshay kumar as a lawyer who takes on a complicated court case against an expert and ruthless advocate .
jolly llb dealt with the' don' t drink and drive' message, and its sequel - - which also features huma qureshi and sanjay mishra - - raises a sensitive subject like terrorism .
well - intentioned but inconsistent,' jolly llb' blends elements of a satire and a thriller in this story inspired by the events of the sanjeev nanda hit - and - run case of 1999 .
jolly llb 2 is well budgeted movie but with a share of profits number fixed it means that the movie will recover its costs at 45 crore but will be considered a hit if it crosses 70 crores .
like all reboots, jolly llb would try to be different while at the same time being the same just enough for us to give it a chance. yet like heraclitus said no man ever steps into the same river twice for it is not the same river and he is not the same man, would we have cared about the new jolly as much had we not met the older jolly ?
seasoned actor arshad warsi can' t wait to begin work on

, but says that everytime he gets busy with shooting, he misses the joy of being with his kids the most .
akshay kumar in a still from ‘jolly llb 2’. the courtroom drama that opened to rs13. 20 crore on friday grew over the weekend, making a grand rs50. 46 crore by the end of sunday .
the subhash kapoor - directed film is a sequel to the 2013 national award - winning comedy jolly llb, starring arshad warsi and boman irani, which had earned rs32. 71 crore in box - office collections .
well - known actor - writer saurabh shukla, who played a judge in the light - hearted legal drama jolly llb, says the national award for his role in the film came as a surprise to him .
chances are that winning streak will continue with writer - director subhash kapoor’s jolly llb 2, an irreverent satire on the country' s judges, lawyers and corrupt cops, which launches on feb. 10 internationally .
jolly llb 2, starring akshay kumar and huma qureshi, tells the story of a small - time lawyer who is faced with a pivotal case in his career. check out some pictures and trivia from the movie .
boman, who played the role of money minded tejinder rajpal in the film, tweeted his joy saying, “overjoyed, elated and proud to learn that jolly llb wins national award for best film. good cheer @ subkapoor” .
jolly is a clumsy lawyer who is faced with representing the most critical court case of his career .
jolly' s wife pushpa panday (huma qureshi) stands by his side throughout and supports him .
jolly llb 2 box office collection day 1: akshay kumar film was made on a budget of rs 45 crores including –rs 30 crore for cost of production and rs 15 crore on p & a (promotions and advertisement) .
thanks to a combination of akshay kumar’s willingness to work for a modest fee and canny deal making by the producers, the bollywood star’s latest film jolly llb 2 will start generating profits from today, the first day of release .
it’s the terrific support cast of jolly llb 2 that sustains the momentum. if saurabh shukla is exceptionally adorable as the tired judge, huma qureshi perfectly fits in the role of a gucci - loving, wine - swigging housewife .
actors boman irani and arshad warsi are overjoyed and elated as their film ‘jolly llb’ has won two major awards including best film (hindi) and best supporting actor at the 61st national film awards on wednesday (april 16) .
akshay kumar is on a roll these days. the 49 - year - old actor is busy playing some of the best characters on screen. from a patriot to rustom to a lawyer in jolly llb 2, all his on - screen avatars have got a thumbs up from fans and critics alike. and khiladi kumar has all the reasons to be ecstatic as his last release jolly llb has crossed the rs 100 crore mark within 13 days of its release .
after jolly llb, akshay will be next seen in a cameo in naam shabana. khiladi kumar has a string of interesting films lined up for 2017 such as toilet ek prem katha, rajinikanth - starrer 2. 0 and padman .
however, both the lead actors – arshad and boman irani and amrita rao have been replaced in jolly llb 2. annu kapoor replaced boman as the rich, powerful and sharp defence lawyer who is determined to make jolly lose his case. while huma qureshi plays akshay’s wife in the film, amrita rao was arshad’s wife in the prequel .
jolly llb was a jolly good movie. a little film by subhash kapoor, jolly llb was shouldered by actors like arshad warsi and saurabh shukla. actors, not stars. so when a second film in the franchise is announced, and an akshay kumar is attached along with it, it sort of brings about mixed feelings in people. on the one hand, while a star comes with expectations along, there' s somewhere a shred of regret at seeing yet another tiny film being hijacked by a star. but kumar doesn' t let his stardom overshadow his performance .
after seeing the trailer for jolly llb 2 advocate ajay waghmare filed a petition in the bombay high court objecting to scenes which showed lawyers playing cards and dancing in court premises and kumar’s character jumping on the table in front of a judge .
this song celebrates the spirit of jolly. an indianised version of ‘for he’s a jolly good fellow’, this one’s a situational track. the music is by meet bros and they have crooned it has well. the problem with meet bros songs are they mostly sound the same. the lyrics by shabbir ahmed are a little off track. this number can be avoided easily. also read: akshay kumar’s jolly llb 2 gets u / a certificate and no cuts
four songs. five composers (including the co - composer for go pagal). and an average end product, pretty much like jolly llb 1 was. the movie was fun though, hope the sequel turns out that way as well .
in order to arrange money for his own chamber, jolly lies to a pregnant lady, hina (sayani gupta) and convinces her to give him rupees 2 lakh as fees so that rizvi sahab would fight her case. jolly uses that money to pay the final payment for his own chamber and opens it with a ceremony. when hina finds out that she has been bluffed by jolly, she commits suicide. everyone blames jolly for her death, including jolly' s father, who worked for 30 years as a clerk for rizvi sahab .
asked why he is not doing the jolly llb sequel, arshad told ians: “i am not doing it… akshay is doing it. i was supposed to do it, but fox star studios needed a bigger star, so they chose akshay. ”
jolly llb 2’s music album is in fact a medley. the four tracks have been composed by various artists. given the theme and the composure of the film, some of the songs do come across as imposed. the qawaali number ‘o re rangreza’ is a power - packed song. ‘jolly good fellow’ is a fun track and the remaining songs are merely average .
the court had appointed a three - member committee to review jolly llb 2 for objectionable content, and the amicus curiae found that several contents in the film are defaming the image of the indian judiciary and the legal fraternity, amounting to contempt of court .
to create an instant connect and leave an impression in a role that was already made famous by another actor takes immense skill, confidence, and, even a fair bit of gall – qualities which were displayed with aplomb by akshay in jolly llb 2 .
so barring that last song, jolly llb is a soundtrack that largely belies the imaginativeness that krsna displayed in his debut. then again, the movie may not necessitate more ingenuity than this. shall wait until the movie is out, to decide on that .
with jolly llb 2, which satirizes india’s judiciary and police corruption, starring huma qureshi and annu kapoor, alongside kumar, fox star india aims to rake in more cash. given the star value that kumar adds to the film, jolly llb 2 is expected to earn more than $ 15 million at the box office, according to industry observers. annu kapoor, who plays kumar’s main adversary in the film, concurs: “ akshay kumar is the most saleable, commercially viable superstar of this era. trade analysts have declared that. ”
he was one of the major reasons for jolly llb to be loved by the audience and critics alike. and rightly so he won national award for that and that may be the reason, he is the only one who returns for the sequel from the previous film .
the one big challenge with producing a sequel is that viewers often tend to make comparisons and reviews tend to be harsher. while we admit that akshay kumar could have been the only one to replace arshad warsi as our own jolly, we did kind of miss the warsi magic. another parameter by which jolly llb 2 falls short of its prequel is the sheer simplicity of the warsi starrer .
jolly and another junior lawyer birbal spot an opportunity here. they tell hina that they will get her case represented if she gives them two lakh rupees. hina does the needful. but she later learns that jolly has lied to her. he has taken the money to get himself a chamber, so that he can become a practicising lawyer. hina is heartbroken that she has been cheated and she confronts jolly. even jolly' s own father reprimands him for telling lies. a repentant jolly vows to correct his wrong doing. however before he can do that, hina throws herself off the terrace .

the collections dropped dramatically this week with a little rise on valentine' s day. yesterday, the film' s collection dropped again and with a bunch of small releases blocking the upcoming friday, it remains to be seen if jolly llb 2 can break through the clutter .
jolly and birbal confront pramod mathur (annu kapoor) who is defending the police inspector singh in justice tripathi' s (saurabh shukla) court. mathur is top shot lawyer and he is confident that a novice like jolly will be easily defeated .
jolly llb 2 director subhash kapoor today gave an undertaking in the bombay high court that they would delete four scenes as found objectionable by the committee appointed by the court. the two - page statement said ,
in view of the imminent release of the film jolly llb 2 and steps undertaken in relation thereto, we offer the following statement without prejudice to the objections raised by the film producers on 30th january with regards to the jurisdiction, constitution and appointment of a committee particularly when the film has been duly certified by the statutory authority that is the cbfc .
jolly llb is a 2013 national award winning bollywood courtroom comedy drama film, written and directed by subhash kapoor. the film stars arshad warsi, boman irani and amrita rao in lead roles. the theatrical trailer was revealed on 8 january 2013. the film released on 15 march 2013 .
kapoor said :
i always try to connect my work with real life issues. after the first jolly llb, i was researching on many things but i zeroed in on this subject. i felt that many things can be conveyed though this one (the second film) .
a lucknow based lawyer, jagdishwar mishra, better known as jolly (akshay kumar) works as an assistant to rizvi sahab who is lucknow’s famous lawyer. jolly belongs to kanpur and comes to lucknow to become a big lawyer and own his personal chamber .
and jolly llb — had a budget within rs 18 crore. says bhushan kumar, head of t - series, “we have got into films that have good music, the rights to which we own. our knowledge of the music business has helped us invest in the right films. ”
jolly llb 2 starring akshay kumar has collected rs 13. 20 cr on first day. trade analyst taran adarsh tweeted, ” # jollyllb2 fri ₹ 13. 20 cr. india biz… merits coupled with + ve word of mouth should help garner a lucrative total on sat and sun. ”
however, when you are working with a superstar does it increase the pressure to fall back on same old formula? subhash kapoor added, “not with akshay. he is a director’s actor. not once did we have to go to his vanity van for a shot call. sometimes, he’d sit around on set, and no one would say that a superstar was around. the challenge was, in fact, to find a fitting story for the sequel. also read – 7 similarities between jolly llb and akshay kumar’s jolly llb 2 that will get you extremely excited about the film
it’s only in the second half that jolly llb 2 comes back to a prolonged courtroom battle and gives its actors a chance to rise and shine. here, annu kapoor gives akshay kumar a solid run for his money. over - emphasis on melodrama hampers a well thought - out central idea .
kumar will share in the back - end profits. star has the satellite rights and t - series bought the music rights. the sequel to kapoor’s 2013 hit jolly llb, which starred arshad warsi in the title role, is getting the second widest release for kumar behind his 2015 action drama brothers .
february 10 is the day akshay' s jolly llb 2 hits the theatres. the republic day weekend will see shah rukh khan' s raees clashing with hrithik roshan' s kaabil, and if both the films do well, they are bound to continue at the screens for at least two weeks .
on the face of it, apna jolly is a novice indulging in petty crimes because he knows the loopholes in the law. at home, he is the hen - pecked husband of lush, pushpa panday (huma) who loves whisky, gucci dresses and her chubby son in that order. but these are just asides and not the main premise of courtroom drama, which in many ways follows the template of the 2013 prequel, jolly llb .
set in lucknow, jolly llb 2 is the story of the blunt, abrasive and yet oddly compassionate jagdishwar mishra, aka jolly, a small - time, struggling lawyer who has moved from kanpur to the city of nawabs to pursue his dream of becoming a big - time lawyer. a hustler by nature, jolly survives by fighting petty cases and using every tactic under the sun to make a quick buck and earn a decent living. having spent years in the chaotic and dingy court corridors jolly is looking out for an opportunity that could turn the tide in his favour and help him achieve his dream of becoming a full - fledged lawyer with a chamber. when faced with the glimpse of such an opportunity, jolly jumps at the chance and in the bargain commits an innocent mistake with irreversible consequences that makes him ready for a big fight with the ruthless advocate mathur .
advocate mathur, uses his power and money to tamper with the narco test video of the witness and proves jolly wrong in the court. judge orders the temporary suspension of jolly' s license as a lawyer, but later, chairman of discipline commitee, rizvi sahab gives jolly, 4 days of time to prove himself correct. jolly soon notices that a kashmir police constable visited lucknow to identify the terrorist during iqbal and hina' s wedding. jolly travels to kashmir and meets the constable, fahim butt, who is now suspended and arrested in a fake case. the constable reveals that the person who died in the encounter was not the real terrorist and is ready to give the statement in the court. jolly manages to bring the constable to lucknow court in the next hearing to prove that iqbal qasim was not the real terrorist. meanwhile, jolly also convinces the police commissioner to tell the truth or else, he will file pil against all the encounters done by him .
the times of india' s meena iyer declared ,
akshay changes shades from crooked to straight, like a chameleon. in top form, he puts up a perfect display of a street - smart lawyer who hasn’t read legal tomes but who has instead picked up tips from courtroom corridors to become jolly llb .
bollywood hungama' s joginder tuteja predicts jolly llb 2 will have a bigger first day than airlift’s 12. 35 crore ($ 1. 8 million) and rustom’s 14. 11 crore ($ 2. 1 million) and could even surpass housefull 3’s 15. 2 crore ($ 2. 3 million) .
actor saurabh shukla grabbed the award for best supporting actor for jolly llb while the award for best supporting actress was shared by amruta subhash for astu and alia el kashif for ship of theseus. pranjal dua' s chidiya ud won him the best director award for short film. kaphal was awarded the best children' s film .
in akshay kumar’s case jolly llb also gives him the possibility of exploring a new franchise. kumar has already had successful series with awara paagal deewana (2002) and hera pheri (2000), but like ajay devgn’s golmaal series these are not the kind of franchises that kumar could carry on doing beyond a certain age. the kind of character that advocate jolly is makes him someone that kumar, like peter sellers and his pink panther series, could partake on for decades to come .
the aurangabad bench of the bombay high court has ordered the deletion of four scenes in akshay kumar and huma qureshi' s upcoming film jolly llb 2 - a scene where a scared judge is hiding behind the chair, another where a shoe is hurled, a scene with objectionable signalling and dialogues in an argument scene have to be modified .
in his effort to come up with a bigger, better film, subhash kapoor added a tad bit more spice and melodrama than was necessary. this dilutes the rock solid theme at times. if you haven’t watched jolly llb (2013), you may not notice these bits and you’re sure to have a complete entertainer on your hands .
jolly llb is an upcoming bollywood comedy drama film directed by subhash kapoor. the film features arshad warsi, amrita rao and boman irani in lead roles. the music is composed by krsna of tanu weds manu fame. the film is expected to release on 15th march 2013. the film is a social satire on the law system of the country india. the story follows a struggling lawyer named jolly (arshad warsi) who wants to make it big in life like his idol (boman irani). but when he is signed a court case against his own idol, jolly must prove his worth and his skills as a lawyer and win the case! jolly hails from a small town in india. to make it big as a lawyer and prove his worth, he moves to the city .
new delhi: with his latest offering, jolly llb 2, akshay kumar has delivered his fifth hit in a row, cementing his position as possibly the most bankable star in bollywood. the courtroom drama that opened to rs13. 20 crore on friday grew over the weekend, making a grand rs50. 46 crore by the end of sunday .
go pagal was the first song to be released from jolly llb 2 and became a hit instantly. it is a fun, upbeat holi song that brings in the festive flavor perfectly. sung by raftaar and nindy kaur, go pagal has a very desi touch and that’s quite appealing. it is certain to enter your holi playlist this season .
akshay kumar and huma qureshi are pairing up for the first time ever in jolly llb 2. though the trailer has very limited scenes where huma is concerned, we do get a glimpse of their on screen chemistry. huma might have a small share of screen presence compared to akshay kumar but that will be enough for her to stand apart .
i agree with the comments, but arshad warsi was the best as shown from meerut. the problem is with director who was unable to get arshad into the character. everyone knows arshad warsi character in
lage raho munna bhai
. the film is a fun watch if you are willing to overlook its minor indulgences and the slow pace of the first half. jolly llb' s first half meanders a bit, featuring a clumsy' daaru' song and a meerut that mysteriously hides - but boy, does its second half hammer things home. with crackling scenes between jolly versus rajpal (irani deadly smooth, like velvet soaked in blood) and rajpal versus judge tripathi (shukla in a brilliant show, hysterically yelling, gavel kidder - rakha ha? !
, thundering at rajpal ,
sit down! yeh meara court ha aapka club nahin !
), the action becomes electric. drama builds as jolly (warsi, highly endearing and impressive) finds his voice. jolly' s astonishment at rajpal' s callousness -
footpath sone ke liye nahin ha
- jolly responding ,
footpath gaudy chalane ke liye bi nahin ha !
, mirrors the aam aadmi' s bewilderment and determination to fight. jolly llb works because of its bigger point - decency is for all and worth fighting for. using bittersweet satire and plot twirls, the film shows corruption even used against the corrupt. despite that weaker first half, this truly becomes a jolly good show .
jolly llb works for yet another reason: it’s a fascinating account of an underdog who locks horns with a much - senior, much - powerful and much - influential lawyer and emerges triumphant, after facing a lot of hardships. this slice of life film celebrates the spirit of the aam aadmi so admirably and capably that in his triumph lies your triumph !
jolly [ arshad warsi ], a meerut - based lawyer, arrives in delhi in search of a case that would make him affluent and celebrated instantaneously. as luck would have it, jolly gets involved in a case which pitches him against a mighty opponent — the hugely successful and unbeatable lawyer [ boman irani ] .
the aurangabad bench of the bombay high court today ordered the makers of film jolly llb 2 to delete four scenes from the film after the committee that it had formed to view the film objected to a few scenes in the film. the committee comprising two senior lawyers from aurangabad and a doctor said that the film does show the lawyers and judges in bad light .
earlier, when akshay kumar was asked about his comments on replacing arshad warsi in the sequel to jolly llb, he said ,
it is the producer' s call. i did' welcome' (2007), but not' welcome back' (2015); i did not feel bad. it was my franchise, so should i feel bad ?
in an interview to mid - day, subhash kapoor said, “when i wrote the first draft of jolly llb, akshay was the first actor i approached. we couldn’t work together because of date issues. the template of my film is that of a courtroom drama. unlike the munnabhai series where the character is the same, here, the setting remains unchanged. ”
in an interview with the same tabloid, arshad had mentioned, “it is the insecurity of the production house that they decided to go with akshay (kumar). it was a calculated business move by the marketing and pr team; akshay’s presence is enough to get them publicity. ” also read – here’s what arshad warsi felt after watching akshay kumar’s jolly llb 2 trailer
in his review the hindustan times' rohit vats opined ,
akshay kumar’s comic timing is the backbone of this story. his dialect, theatrics, dialogues, everything is spot on, but he is yet to deliver a powerful speech like arshad warsi. with a fantastic support cast like saurabh shukla, annu kapoor and inamul haq, jolly llb 2 looks like a winner .
the charm of this film lies in the details. scenes like saurabh shukla discussing his daughter' s wedding lehenga on the mobile in front of a board asking people to not use mobiles inside the courtroom are brilliant. there are little things here and there that are extraordinarily done. the music is not impactful. jolly llb 2 would have been the same even without the numerous songs .
while bollywood fans eagerly awaited akshay kumar’s new release, jolly llb 2 started to make news and attract its share of controversies. from taking on a footwear major to being reviewed by the chief justice of india himself, the movie has courted (pun intended) criticism. turning a blind eye to these news bytes, director subash kapoor has dished out his first hit of the year .
looking at the trailer of jolly llb 2 where akshay kumar plays the titular role, one is convinced that there could not have been a better option than kumar to play the small - time lawyer who would take on the state. and, just then the images from the original version where arshad warsi excelled as the slacker jolly who files a pil against a bigwig lawyer (boman irani) come to mind. wonderful as the original was would you even bother with the sequel had it not featured, for the want of a better word, a bigger star .
on the very first date, jolly requests the court for an impartial enquiry into the encounter once again. however court gets adjourned. jolly is able to get fir copy & papers regarding the case with the help of a bookie guru ji (sanjay mishra) in varanasi by paying him rs. 5 lakhs. later he is able to track ram kumar bhadouriya, the son of the constable who died in the fake encounter however, during the court hearing, under a heated argument, jolly slaps advocate mathur. court orders a narco test of ram kumar. jolly is attacked by two henchmen sent by inspector singh, but survives with two bullet wounds. however, singh is suspended from police department .
the central board of film certification had already cleared jolly llb 2, but will have to reissue the certificate in light of the court order. the akshay kumar - starrer got caught up in controversy when nanded - based advocate ajaykumar waghmare filed a petition, saying that the film is
nothing but an attempt to portray the indian legal profession and judicial system as a laughing stock to the society at large .
the akshay kumar we knew from the khiladi movies of yesteryears is not the akshay who wows us with his presence and his spectacular acting skills these days. continuing with the trend of airlift and rustom, akshay has put up a splendid performance in jolly llb 2. make no mistake, veteran actor annu kapoor has given him a run for his money and saurabh shukla shines out with his near - perfect histrionics .
akshay changes shades from crooked to straight, like a chameleon. in top - form, he puts up a perfect display of a street - smart lawyer who hasn’t read legal tomes but who has instead picked up tips from courtroom corridors to become jolly llb. huma and annu are also compelling enough. it is the fine display of histrionics by all these refined actors, which makes the movie, worth seeing .
large chunks of the film remind the viewer of those legal satire shows where the judicial system looks like a big, dark joke. mostly the joke is on jolly, and sometimes it’s on us. we somehow know that there’s no escaping the wrath of overworked judges and a broken system. but jolly needs to find loopholes in the system to keep his hopes afloat .
it becomes one of the highest grossing movies in the first half of 2017, along with baahubali 2, raees, jolly llb 2, badrinath ki dulhania, hindi medium and tubelight. the critical reception of the movie was quite impressive as well. many of the critics called this movie ‘gripping’ and an endearing tale of courage and revenge. hrithik roshan’s performance as a blind and vengeful man was lauded by the critics across the country .
the difference a reboot promises to make is that an average viewer gets intrigued even though there might not be anything substantial left to explore in a story. simply put, the reimagining of jolly llb with a better production quality is what makes the whole prospect inviting. known for his comic timing and his finesse for delivering ordinary lines as the funniest thing one would ever hear make pitch perfect for jolly llb. the writer - director of the original, subhash kapoor, would not have had any trouble persuading kumar to step into warsi’s shoes thanks to the success of the first film but at the same time, it is simply impossible to picture kumar in the original. in fact, had kapoor approached kumar for the original, kumar, too, for his part might have refused as the film did not have the kind of scope that kumar could have pictured himself in .
at its core, jolly llb 2 is the story of the condition of courts in the country, much like its predecessor. akshay kumar is the driving force of this drama. director subhash kapoor doesn' t do enough to extract the best of akshay' s comic timing. but there are enough to get by. saurabh shukla' s dialogues make you break into a laugh every now and then. the man steals the show .
reboots are not an uncommon phenomenon in hindi cinema. production houses such as the mukesh bhatt’s vishesh films have been doing this successfully for years where a franchises such as raaz or aashiqui are reconceptualised with somewhat similar plot elements and story lines, etc, are presented to the same audience but now with jolly llb 2, which is both a sequel as well as a reboot, the idea seems to have finally arrived in its full glory .
the rare on - screen teaming up of akshay kumar, annu kapoor and saurabh shukla was surely going to be a unique concoction of laughter and drama. and as the reviews are still pouring in, a unanimous positive word of mouth seems to be building around akshay kumar’s film. trade analyst taran adarsh earlier observed, “akshay kumar’s winning streak will continue with # jollyllb2… extremely positive reports pouring in… should hit the bull’s eye. ” jolly llb 2 has already recovered its cost, according to trade analyst joginder tuteja. the film was made on a budget of rs 45 crores including –rs 30 crore for cost of production and rs 15 crore on p & a (promotions and advertisement). jolly llb 2 has already earned rs 45 crore from the sales of satellite, music and digital rights of the film. this implies that akshay kumar movie will start earning profits from day 1 .
come to think of it, very few movies can claim to make you laugh at the right places, yet mirror the realities that plague the nation concurrently. jolly llb walks the thin line wonderfully. the on - screen characters seem straight out of everyday life and if i am not mistaken, this is, perhaps, the first hindi movie that finds humor within the confines of a courtroom, besides presenting a captivating courtroom drama so effectively .
we’re tempted to say that akki is the star of jolly llb 2 but we must admit that it is the theme that takes the top spot. taking a real hard look at the dark and murky side of the indian legal system is something most writers and artists have shied away from, but this bollywood flick is a satire that forces us to wake up. if art is meant to be a commentary of society, this film succeeds spectacularly.
