Jolly LLB 3 Review: Akshay Kumar & Arshad Warsi Put Up A Stretched But Decent Courtroom Battle

RATING - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5*

Jolly LLB 3 Review Movie Talkies: 

Jolly LLB 3 is one of those films that carries the weight of expectations even before it hits the big screen. Bringing Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi together as rival Jollies is enough to grab attention. The idea of two Jollys clashing inside the same courtroom had fans excited from day one. Naturally, the story makes them fight, makes them banter, and eventually brings them together for the greater good. You don’t need to be a genius to predict that arc. Still, the film works in parts, especially when it focuses on its courtroom drama. Unfortunately, the moments outside the court often stretch the film unnecessarily, testing patience along the way.

The core of Jolly LLB 3 deals with a sensitive and socially relevant issue—the struggles of farmers and the forced land acquisition in the name of cosmopolitan development. The topic is important and timely, and the film deserves credit for picking it up. The screenplay takes a sharp dig at the mindset of industrialists and opportunistic economists who prioritize profits over people. In its final act, the movie delivers a hard-hitting and emotional climax, where both Jollys shine. But the sad part is you need to sit through nearly two hours of average buildup before that knockout moment arrives.

Jolly LLB 3 Story:

The story follows Janaki Amma (Seema Biswas), a poor village woman who approaches Jolly Number 1 (Arshad Warsi) to fight her case against a powerful businessman, Haribhai Khetan (Gajraj Rao). Jolly 1, for his own reasons, redirects her to Jolly Number 2 (Akshay Kumar). After a few twists and turns, Jolly 1 eventually takes up Amma’s case, only to lose against Jolly 2, who fights from the side of Khetan. The real emotional conflict begins when Jolly 2 discovers the harsh truth about Amma’s plight, and that’s when the film moves towards its impactful finale.

At around 160 minutes, Jolly LLB 3 feels too long for a courtroom drama. Ideally, it should have wrapped up in 120–130 minutes. Those extra 30 minutes drag the film, making the middle portions dull. Imagine sitting through it again in a repeat viewing—it would feel even longer. Several unnecessary subplots slow down the pace, such as random riot sequences, the two Jollys engaging in physical fights, and even the judge’s romance angle. These moments divert attention from the real issue at hand. Thankfully, the film redeems itself in the final 20 minutes with a powerful and engaging climax that leaves an impact, almost like a cricket match that plays like a slow Test innings but ends with a thrilling sixer.

Jolly LLB 3 Cast:

Performance-wise, Akshay Kumar is the highlight of the film. He gets some wicked one-liners, shows off his charm, and delivers a sensational courtroom speech in the climax that will definitely make you clap. Arshad Warsi, though sidelined in many parts, makes a strong comeback in the closing arguments. Their dynamic is entertaining, whether they are at each other’s throats or working together. Watching the two Jollys spar is the film’s biggest attraction.

Saurabh Shukla, as the judge, brings in a surprising romantic side this time, but he never forgets to carry the authority of his role. Gajraj Rao is outstanding as Haribhai Khetan, playing the powerful antagonist with conviction. Amrita Rao and Huma Qureshi don’t get much to do, but their presence adds completeness to the story. Seema Biswas delivers one of the most heartfelt performances, especially in her final emotional outburst that leaves you shaken. Ram Kapoor as the opposing lawyer is a fine addition.

The film, however, has some slip-ups in its detailing. For instance, the same actor who played a different role in the previous installment appears here as an economist, which feels odd. Some courtroom tactics don’t make sense, like Jolly 1 using house pictures as evidence when they weren’t even relevant at that stage. There are also unrealistic bits, like a riot victim suddenly showing up in court as a witness while still recovering. Such loopholes dilute the otherwise engaging narrative.

On the technical side, the cinematography is neat but not extraordinary. Editing is where the film falters the most—it desperately needed trimming. The background score, however, deserves praise for elevating the tension in crucial moments. The songs fail to make any impact and feel out of place in a serious story like this. While the film doesn’t boast of lavish production values, it works well in grounded, realistic settings. That said, when you suddenly see a few glossy scenes, it feels inconsistent. The comedy falls flat mostly when one would have expected it to be a comedy flick.

Jolly LLB 3 Movie Review:

Director Subhash Kapoor once again brings his sharp storytelling style to the courtroom genre. While Jolly LLB 3 is not as tight or as impactful as the earlier films, it still manages to deliver an engaging, socially relevant entertainer. His strong focus on portraying farmers’ struggles and questioning blind industrialization gives the film its heart. Overall, Jolly LLB 3 is far from perfect—it is stretched, uneven, and at times illogical. But thanks to Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi’s chemistry, a powerful climax, and an important subject at its core, the film turns into a watchable courtroom drama.
