Jolly LLB 3: Plot

Jolly LLB 3 is loosely based on events in the Bhatta Parsaul land grab case, in which farmers were killed because they were an obstacle to the ‘Development of the country’ and would not sacrifice their lands.

The movie, written and directed by Subhash Kapoor, is part of the superhit Jolly LLB franchise and is returning after an almost eight-year gap. This time, however, this hilarious courtroom drama movie pits two Jollys from already hit previous installments in a funny yet intense clash.

There’s another ‘Jolly’ - Jagdish Mishra, from Kanpur (played by Akshay Kumar) - who’s competing for clients in the local court in Delhi. The original ‘Jolly’, Jagdish Tyagi (Arshad Warsi), is angry because the new ‘Jolly’ sends his junior Birbal to steal clients of the original Jolly.

Jolly LLB 3 stars Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao, Saurabh Shukla, and Gajraj Rao in key roles.

Jolly LLB 3: Review

LiveMint called Jolly LLB 3 an “overly long courtroom comedy” with dialogues written for claps.

“The chaos takes too long to come to a conclusion, and even though people who have been to a court know that judges don’t allow so much speechifying in court, this is a Hindi movie, and the dialogues are written for claps from the audience,” the review said. “The audience complies, because even though the speeches are necessary, everybody knows farmers are suffering, that the next gen thinks rice and other produce come from a supermarket…”
