Story: It is the third installment in the Jolly LLB series and the sequel to Jolly LLB 2. Movie revolves around two Jollys Jagdishwar Mishra (Akshay Kumar) and Jagdish Tyagi (Arshad Warsi) who are now advocates in the district court in Delhi. Jolly Tyagi is perpetually angry with Jolly Mishra for stealing his clients. Both have the same moniker and clients, who often come looking for Tyagi, end up in Mishra’s chamber.
The cases are small, and clients pay a meager amount, and both Jollys struggle. Tyagi’s wife Sandhya (Amrita Rao) is now working for an NGO. A do-gooder who works for the impoverished class, Sandhya sends Janaki Rajaram Solanki (Seema Biswas) to her husband for a case on land grabbing.
Janaki claims industrialist Haribhai Khaitan (Gajraj Rao) and his big corporation are forcefully trying to move her and the people of her village to create Boston-like infrastructure in Bikaner. Khaitan claims he offered her compensation, but Janaki having lost all her family members, doesn’t want the compensation and wants to keep her home and land.
Considering she is poor, Janaki’s case is initially rejected by both the Jollys. They try to pass on the case to each other- just to grab a richer client on the side. But as Janaki’s real story comes to light, the two warring Jollys realize that to fight a big corporation, and they need to join hands and fight for these poor farmers. Will they succeed?

Durgesh Tiwary’s View: When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie in cinemas on release date as loved the trailer and also liked previous 2 movies of this franchise. Two advocates, Jolly Mishra and Jolly Tyagi engage in a battle of wits, causing mayhem in the courtroom with their unexpected antics.
Jolly LLB 3 stays true to its predecessors’ template of tackling a serious issue through a quirky narrative. This time, the focus is on corporations usurping farmers’ land and the system’s repeated failure to protect the vulnerable. The film neatly shows how some corporate companies illegally occupy farmers’ lands and the hardships farmers endure after losing them, with a lot of detail given to this aspect. The story moves between the chaos of the court where the two incorrigibles Jollys constantly try to outwit one another, poach clients, and land each other in trouble and the underlying gravity of the case, which exposes systemic apathy and corruption. The courtroom exchanges are hilarious, with Justice Tripathi blaming both Jollys for his stress. The second half is more engaging, especially with the entry of a high-flying, London-based lawyer Vikram who comes in to defend Haribhai. Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi shine as similarly roguish lawyers and share crackling on-screen rapport and comic timing. While Akshay enjoys longer screen time in the climactic court battle, with a fiery argument where he highlights how subsidies for farmers are dismissed as khairaat (charity), but benefits for corporations are viewed as incentives. Arshad balances it out in his closing statement. His sharp rebuttal questions why farmers are always expected to give up their land in the name of progress, while powerful industrialists refuse to part with their homes for similar projects. Saurabh Shukla delivers a knock-out performance once again, his typically star-struck demeanor shifting into a fiery diatribe when Khaitan insults him and the court. The lively exchanges between the two lawyers and the ever-entertaining Judge Tripathi, played by Saurabh Shukla, provide steady momentum, even if some scenes stretch longer than they should. Subhash Kapoor’s direction is splendid. He takes up a topic that many would be able to identify with.
From an editing perspective, Jolly LLB 3 could have benefited from tighter pacing in the first half. If those were trimmed down, the story would have moved faster and hit harder. Amrita Rao and Huma Qureshi barely have any role to play. The film had scope for more comic moments, especially in the first half. There are some digressions, such as Justice Tripathi wooing inspector Chanchal Chautala which do not move the story forward but still add to the film’s mirth. The songs are poor. Moreover, there are scenes where it seems like the opponent doesn’t really fight back with full force against the two Jolly’s. A lot is at stake for Haribhai, and realizing how menacing he is, one expects some sort of comeback from him and his legal team as well, which doesn’t happen as much in court as it happens outside. While the film retains the franchise’s quirky tone, the rivalry between the two Jollys doesn’t peak the way it could have, and the narrative takes time to gain steam.
Sequels are not always the most accurate in terms of casting. But Kapoor manages to get all the actors from the previous films to reprise their respective characters. There is continuity, which helps to connect this film to the previous two films well. With a solid script, a taut screenplay that leaves a lasting impression, and great performances, this one makes for a perfect watch. Overall, movie remains an engaging ride that keeps you entertained with its mix of courtroom drama and comic splits. It entertains with its humor, emotions, hard-hitting dialogues, and drama in ample doses. The film wins for me at the moment when Akshay Kumar urges the court to include Agriculture as an important chapter in textbooks, so that students know who a farmer is and not think, “Khaana Swiggy, Zomato pe banta hai!” What a thought My view on this movie Highly Recommended.
