Language: Hindi

Director: Subhash Kapoor

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, Gajraj Rao, Ram Kapoor, Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao, Seema Biswas, Shilpa Shukla and others

Jolly LLB 3 is indeed a film that you must spend your hard-earned money to watch in theaters. Though the first half hour may be a little slow. But the film picks up really fast, and it gets engaging, sharper, and immersive in the second half. Cinematically the movie shines brightly. Director Subhash Kapoor makes us believe that filmmaking must be fearless and an act of defiance.

A courtroom drama with a twist where two Jollys come together to fight a case on farmer suicide and more. After watching this film, you will start respecting the farmers all the more because they are our actual ‘Annadatas’ (food giver). After watching the film, when you eat your first meal, please don’t forget to thank the farmers of our country, who work relentlessly in scorching heat and piercing cold so that you can have a hearty meal after day at work.

Jolly LLB 3 just like its previous two parts will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Starring Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, Seema Biswas and others, the movie initially may look like it needed some sharp editing, but only as you keep watching you realise that the film has different layers which needed to be peeled off gradually. Both the Jollys  set aside their hunger for earning money and put their neck on the line to fight for an old woman (Seema Biswas) who is left with nothing except the memories of her husband and her other family members.

Not just one of the biggest films of the year,  _Jolly LLB 3_ is thought provoking. Carrying forward a legacy that redefined courtroom drama with wit and heart Jolly LLB 3 brings both the Jollys together for the very first time – Akshay Kumar’s Jolly Mishra from Kanpur and Arshad Warsi’s Jolly Tyagi from Meerut – in a clash that promises to be nothing short of historic.

The film starts in a village in Bikaner, where a farmer is fighting for his land. That last piece of land is priceless for him which he wants to leave for his future generations. This old farmer has lost his only son who was in the Indian Army in war. His land is his pride, but this too is snatched away from him by one of the greedy businessmen of our country in the name of urbanisation and progress. He is left with nothing, but humiliation. He lost the case in Bikaner court. The old man finds no other option, but to kill himself. Before committing suicide, he writes a note and leaves some money for his wife and daughter-in-law.

The story quickly shifts to Delhi where where Jolly from Kanpur (Akshay Kumar) is seen stealing cases from the real Jolly from Meerut (Arshad Warsi). But that is just on a lighter note and just the beginning of a thought-provoking story which will shake you from within. Judge, Sunder Lal Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla) is the brightest character in the entire film. He is the man who gets stressed out by the two Jollys, but at the same time he knows that both of them may be troublesome, but isn’t greedy like the other suited and booted lawyers who only fights high profile cases.

With Judge Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla) caught in the crossfire, and Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao and Gajraj Rao adding more colour to an already existing colourful movie. Ram Kapoor does his part well as a rich advocate fighting for an even richer businessman. But it is Seema Biswas who will make you realise with just her expression piercing sadness that silence can be powerful too. Her last cry for justice will tear you apart. She is indeed an actress with immense caliber. She is the only female character of any importance in the entire film. Both Huma Qureshi and Amrita Rao’s roles are just ornamental and could have been made slightly meaty.

On the whole, Jolly LLB 3 just like the previous two parts may not be as humorous, but recreates the charm and intensity that made the franchise iconic. Produced by Star Studio18 and directed by Subhash Kapoor, the film releases in theatres today. My only advice is when you watch the film please watch it with an open heart and don’t compare it with Part 1 and Part 2. But one thing I can assure you is that Jolly LLB 3 is as political and intense as the previous two.

Rating: 4 out of 5
