Firstpost

Subhash Kapoor's story is relatable. Subhash Kapoor's screenplay is peppered with not just humour but also some hard-hitting scenes. Subhash Kapoor's dialogues are one of the high points. Several dialogues will surely get a lot of claps.

Subhash Kapoor's direction is splendid. He takes up a topic that many would be able to identify with. Moreover, certain real-life references will raise eyebrows as well as laughs. It was anticipated that both Jolly's would come together, but the way it unfolds is quite dramatic. In fact, the film gets better in the second half once the case reaches court for the second time. The Valentine's Day dinner scene might seem like a roadblock, but there won't be complaints as the scene would be enjoyed by the masses. Subhash Kapoor reserves the best for the climax, and it would be greeted with claps.

On the flipside, the first half could have been better. 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.
Both Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi deliver equally brilliant performances. Akshay has a little more screen time. But Arshad makes up for it with his performance and climax act. Their chemistry is excellent; watch out for it in the second half and especially in the finale. Saurabh Shukla (Justice Sunder Lal Tripathi) is like the third hero of the film and steals the show yet again. This time, he also shows his romantic side and it's quite adorable. Gajraj Rao yet again delivers a fabulous performance as an antagonist after MAIDAAN [2024]. He impresses with his mere expressions. Amrita Rao (Sandhya) and Huma Qureshi (Pushpa) are okay and don't have much to do. But it's commendable that the makers retained their characters and also chose the same actors. Seema Biswas leaves a huge mark. Ram Kapoor is apt for the part as the opponent lawyer. Shilpa Shukla (Chanchal Chautala) is lovely. The actors playing the DM, Rajaram, and others also do a fine job.
On the whole, JOLLY LLB 3 entertains with its humour, emotions, hard-hitting dialogues, and drama in ample doses. Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, and Saurabh Shukla steal the show, while the climax would be greeted with applause. At the box office, the film might start on a slow note but has the potential to jump from Saturday onwards due to strong word of mouth.

The third instalment of the courtroom comedy-drama by writer-director Subhash Kapoor 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 story moves between the chaos of the court — where the two incorrigible 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.
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. 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 (Ram Kapoor), who comes in to defend Haribhai. There are some digressions, such as Justice Tripathi wooing inspector Chanchal Chautala (Shilpa Shukla), which do not move the story forward but still add to the film’s mirth.
The main courtroom scenes are intense and thought-provoking, even if they are occasionally overdramatic — like a district magistrate having a change of heart and delivering his testimony from a hospital bed being rolled into the courtroom.
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 demeanour shifting into a fiery diatribe when Khaitan insults him and the court. Gajraj Rao is outstanding as the vile industrialist, often conveying more through his expressions than his dialogues. Ram Kapoor and Seema Biswas are equally formidable, while Amrita Rao and Huma Qureshi make the most of their limited roles.
Jolly LLB 3 remains an engaging ride that keeps you entertained with its mix of courtroom drama and comic splits.

'Jolly LLB 3' is not as casual or easy as the trailer might have suggested. What happens on the screen is a sharp, hard-hitting narrative with a tinge of humour and some strong performances. The two Jollies of the franchise - Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi - bring back their desi charm, this time with a more heroic, grounded representation of advocates who are flawed yet honest at heart. Writer and director Subhash Kapoor wastes no time in establishing the central conflict. He manages to keep the wit alive, never making the film feel like a giant dose of melodrama or monotony.
At its heart, 'Jolly LLB 3' is about a farmer's suicide and the case his wife, Janki (played with haunting restraint by Seema Biswas), files against the country's richest man, a well-respected Haribhai Khetan (Gajraj Rao). Khetan's ambitious 'Bikaner to Boston' project depends on the acquisition of Janki's village, the uprooting of its people. Like the previous films in the franchise, Kapoor takes a leaf out of a real-life case and builds it into an engaging narrative. The plot, though layered with evolving twists, appears slightly anti-capitalist in parts. It also seems loosely inspired by the 2011 land acquisition protests in Uttar Pradesh.
Both Arshad and Akshay are a delight to watch. Akshay's sharp one-liners land effortlessly, while Arshad's understated comedy lingers long after. 'Jolly LLB 3' lets both actors showcase their dramatic range. Their evolution - from cranky, middle-class lawyers bickering for survival to men weighed down by conscience, conviction and emotion - feels authentic and unforced. Their chemistry feels alive, their antics entertaining, but it's their vulnerability that wins you over.
The true scene-stealer remains Saurabh Shukla, though. Returning as Judge Sundarlal Tripathi, he dominates every frame he walks into. Shukla has always been the spine of this franchise, and here, Kapoor goes a step further by giving his character newer layers - sharp sarcasm, but also surprising subtlety through a soft romantic arc. It's this balance and layered characters with backstories that elevates 'Jolly LLB 3' from being just another courtroom comedy.

The film, of course, follows familiar beats - biting satire on power structures, courtroom banter, emotional monologues, questions that sting, and the eternal clash between money and morality. However, it never feels repetitive. The dialogues have a bite, the humour lands more often than it misses, and the emotions don’t feel forced.

If anything, the film could have done without a stretched intense song and that one rather jarring scene involving camels on a racing track. Rao's portrayal of a vindictive and shallow businessman lacks depth, but that seems more like a shortcoming of the script than the actor's. But otherwise, it packs a punch. The emotions hit hard, and you find yourself asking just the right questions.
Kapoor ensures the franchise doesn’t lose its voice. He ensures it still questions the system with ease and honesty, and never forgets its responsibility to entertain. Akshay and Arshad's crowd-pleasing performances, powered by Shukla's winning presence, makes 'Jolly LLB 3' a hearty big-screen watch.

It may not be the most refined courtroom drama, but it proves why this franchise continues to matter. 'Jolly LLB 3' makes you laugh, think, and cheer, all at the same time.


Most times, good intentions are not enough. But over the last two Jolly LLB films, as well as the third addition to the franchise, writer-director Subash Kapoor, has managed to successfully combine humour with a social conscience.

At a time when the country is in the grip of a construction fever, Jolly LLB 3 raises a very important question: Development for whom and at what cost?

 
In the earlier two films, Arshad Warsi and Akshay Kumar had played small-time lawyers who took on the rich and powerful, with the help of eccentric but fair judge, Sunderlal Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla).

Eight years later, Jagdish Tyagi (Warsi) from Meerut and Jagdishwar Mishra (Kumar) from Kanpur, who evidently have not gained from their earlier triumphs, are still scrabbling for clients in Delhi.
Jolly 1 accuses Jolly 2 of stealing his clients, which he does.

The first case is the farcical one of the 'bride' of an old man turning out to be male.

Mishra also gets gypped when a large group of farmers, with the encouragement of an NGO, file petitions and pay him in coins and vegetables.

Tripathi is not at all pleased to encounter the two Jollys again.

The stress caused by the first, he recalls, gave him a heart attack, and the second caused the death of his wife.

In the scenes that are designed to lighten the otherwise sombre mood, Tripathi woos a cop (Shilpa Shukla), ignoring the sniggers of people around.

Ridiculous though this might make him, Tripathi also gets a significant line about the letter and spirit of the law.

Their lives are about to change.

In a Rajasthan village, a farmer dies by suicide because he loses his land for an industrialist's ambitious 'Bikaner to Boston' project.
The man's widow, Janki (Seema Biswas), holding on to two goats and a lacerating glare, is pushed from one Jolly to the other because neither can afford to take on a non-paying client.

Their wives, (Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao), however, have more sympathy, and the Jollys end up accepting Janki's case, pitting themselves against industrialist Haribhai Khaitan (Gajraj Rao).

When he is first seen, Khaitan is addressing an audience to ask, in a reasonable tone, why businessmen are so reviled when, without money, no society can progress.

But, of course, he has the bureaucratic and legal systems on his payroll, and when it comes to his own profit, the human rights of farmers don't matter, nor does one's family's dignity.

Kapoor makes it clear that in today's times, nobody can stand up against development.

Khaitan's lawyer Vikram (Ram Kapoor) -- returning in a private plane from London -- demands to know why India should lag behind the world, or why a race track in Bikaner should be interrupted by camel carts (the two Jollys do that).

The question is why gains for a few should mean the ruination of many.

A cartoonish economist, obviously in the pay of big business houses, actually states in court that farmers should give up farming for more lucrative ways of earning.

Jolly LLB 3 does not have the scope to actually delve deep into the economical fallout of unchecked development, question the inherent inequalities in the system, the endemic corruption or the lack of political will that allows the poorest of the poor to fall through the cracks. But it does shift gears from humour to violence to courtroom rhetoric, so the right questions are highlighted.

The three lead actors, Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla, are in top form.

Gajraj Rao, given an ordinary get-up, conveys arrogance and menace, dropping that avuncular look when provoked.

Without speaking much, Seema Biswas expresses the rage and tragedy of the character. Her wails at the end of Jolly LLB 3 echo in the mind long after it is over.

Jolly LLB 3 is a pro-farmer and anti-corruption film that succeeds in delivering laughs along with its message to a considerable extent.

You may come to watch Jolly LLB 3 for Akshay Kumar and/or Arshad Warsi, but you will stay put to be blown away by Saurabh Shukla, who delivers an effortless masterclass in acting, ably supported by other stalwarts like Seema Biswas and Gajraj Rao.

Director Subhash Kapoor does a good job of leveraging the two lead actors, both blessed with comic timing, to explore a serious and unfortunately prevalent topic like farmer suicides in a sensitive manner, barring a few quibbles.

Jolly LLB 3 appears to be a carrier of good news for both Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, considering how their past movies fared at the box office. The verdict is out, and it is a win.
The film was promoted as "double trouble" with the two actors, but viewers end up watching more of Akshay Kumar on screen than Arshad Warsi. This is ironic because Jolly LLB 3 clearly makes it evident that Arshad Warsi is Jolly No 1, and Akshay Kumar is Jolly No 2.

In the second half of the film, Akshay Kumar gets a full-on chase sequence to flaunt his '90s khiladi tag, while Arshad Warsi is mostly missing in action, except when he delivers the concluding remarks in the case.

But it is Saurabh Shukla's return as the perennially irritable Judge Sunder Lal Tripathi who outshines both titular protagonists-and how! (Filing a petition for a Sunder Lal Tripathi spin-off right away.)

In Jolly LLB 3, the veteran actor shows other, sometimes more 'Tender' facets of his personality. He enters the court premises in a tracksuit, jogging his way to his chambers, and receives thunderous applause from the audience.
Recently widowed, Judge Sunder Lal Tripathi is now into self-care-he drinks protein shakes, opts for green tea over regular tea, is a fitness freak, and is a new lover on the prowl with a massive crush on the local SHO, played by Shilpa Shukla (remember the defiant hockey player Bindiya from Chak De! India?).

Sunder Lal Tripathi may fawn over high-profile celebrity advocates or reputed businessmen, but his sense of justice and self are never misplaced. He knows he is the judge, and what the judge rules, stands.

In a key scene, after Sunder Lal Tripathi demonstrates to the courtroom why he is the judge, the camera cuts to the Tricolour kept on his desk and a red rose-one of the most meaningful cutaways in the movie.

Getting back to the film: the first Jolly LLB was set in Delhi and followed a hit-and-run case with Arshad Warsi's Jolly Tyagi at the centre. Jolly LLB 2 was based in Lucknow, with Akshay Kumar's Jolly Mishra following a fake encounter case.

In Jolly LLB 3, the action shifts back to Delhi, where viewers get both the Jollys for the price of one (ticket). There are many instances of the two Jollys initially locking horns, both figuratively and literally, only to join forces for the greater good and help a poor woman farmer from the fictional Rajasthan village of Parsaul get justice.

According to the film's disclaimer, the plot of Jolly LLB 3 is loosely inspired by incidents that occurred in Bhatta Parsaul, a village in Uttar Pradesh, back in 2011.

In the film, a farmer-poet named Rajaram Solanki dies by suicide after the gram panchayat hands over his land to the local tehsildar because of a loan default.

We find out that the tehsildar, the district magistrate, the MLA, and the police are all in cahoots with a menacing but dignified Delhi-based builder, Haribhai Khaitan, who wants all the land in the village for his prestige project 'Bikaner To Boston'.

Cut to the present day, when Rajaram Solanki's wife, Janki, takes up the mantle to get justice for her husband. Seema Biswas as Janki gives a searing performance. You will not forget her haunting eyes, which speak volumes beyond her dialogues.

"Registan ki maati hai sahab, yahan sikka uchhalne se aawaz sunaayi nahin deti, ret mein dhal jaave hai," Janki tells a generally calm Haribhai Khaitan, visibly bruising his ego, when she tears up the Rs 10 lakh cheque as compensation for her husband's death.

Seema Biswas's commanding screen presence is a reminder of her Bandit Queen days. She may have grown older but has only become more lethal with her acting chops.

Gajraj Rao is phenomenal in his clinical portrayal of Haribhai Khaitan, a power-hungry businessman who believes poverty impedes the country's success and that India cannot become a superpower without the contribution of entrepreneurs like him.

He sits like a Roman emperor in the balcony of a makeshift stage at the inauguration of an IG racing circuit, built on the land taken away from lakhs of farmers, watching the car race in what appears to be his personal Colosseum built in the Rajasthan desert.

There is also a mention of a certain business tycoon, VM Bhai, who is hiding in London because he did not keep a low profile as an entrepreneur-we all know who VM Bhai is.

Amrita Rao and Huma Qureshi return to the Jolly LLB franchise and help steer the narrative in whatever way the screenplay allowed.

However, Jolly LLB 3 suffers from an uneven screenplay that breaks the spell of tense, sombre moments by inserting gags. It is beyond banal that the audience still laughs at jibes like "genda," "mota", and toilet humour.

Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi have returned to the big screen as the beloved ‘Jollys’, but this time, the narrative dives into a pressing and emotional issue — farmers’ suicides and unlawful acquisition of their lands. At first glance, such a theme of the film might give you the impression that Subhash Kapoor’s directorial must be serious and hard-hitting. However, much to everyone’s surprise, the film strikes a perfect balance. It delivers top-notch entertainment while seamlessly weaving humour, drama and social commentary.
Jolly LLB 3 begins with a legal showdown between two lawyers, both known as ‘Jolly’ — Jagdish Tyagi (played by Arshad Warsi) and Jagdishwar Mishra aka Jolly Mishra (essayed by Akshay Kumar). While they are always at loggerheads initially, their lives change when they meet Janaki – a farmer’s widow who is seeking justice and fighting a big real estate company against the illegal imposition of their land. Janaki’s fight for justice brings both Jollys together. With their reunion, the courtroom becomes a battleground for legal arguments, comedy and fighting for justice.
What makes Jolly LLB 3 a wonderful film is its powerhouse cast. Akshay Kumar brings his trademark screen presence and charm and perfectly blends it with humour. His comic timing lights up the courtroom, yet he never lets you forget the seriousness of the issue. Arshad Warsi, on the other hand, is effortless as ever — his natural flair for sarcasm and witty one-liners make him worth watching. His chemistry with Akshay is also fun to watch and highly appreciable.

Seema Biswas does not have a lot of dialogue in the movie but her silence is very powerful. The depth and the intensity she brings with her eyes convey pain, resilience and strength. Gajraj Rao’s negative turn is one of the film’s biggest surprises. Known for his calm and composed roles, he slips into the skin of an antagonist with remarkable conviction. Ram Kapoor also portrays the role of a lawyer and plays his part with perfection. On the other hand, Huma Qureshi and Amrita Rao get little screentime but play their parts with dedication.
Jolly LLB 3 is a fine example of how cinema can tackle pressing social issues with humour, without ever diluting their seriousness. The film seamlessly balances comedy and gravity, making the narrative both thought-provoking and highly entertaining. With its sharp writing and powerful performances, the film delivers a complete cinematic experience. It is pure entertainment and a must watch.

#JollyLLB3 is a complete package – humour, satire, drama, emotions, and above all, a message that hits home… This #JollyvsJolly clash is thoroughly entertaining! #JollyLLB3Review

Director #SubhashKapoor knows the pulse of the franchise… Seamlessly blends satire with substance, humour with heart… The courtroom confrontations are electrifying.

The screenplay is tight – no dull moments, no unnecessary diversions... Special mention to the dialogues – sharp, witty, and impactful… You laugh, you cheer, and you also think.

The climax in the courtroom, in particular, is the highpoint of the film, and deserves an ovation.

Any hiccups? Yes, a few sequences feel unnecessary, but that's a minor quibble.

#AkshayKumar is in terrific form… His impeccable comic timing and emotional intensity make you root for him wholeheartedly... #ArshadWarsi is superb… Matches #Akshay step-for-step, especially in the comic moments... His courtroom sequence is superb.

#SaurabhShukla puts up a masterclass act… His witty one-liners, subtle expressions, and balanced approach make him the soul of the narrative.

#GajrajRao is excellent, #RamKapoor is in great form, and #SeemaBiswas is brilliant, especially towards the final moments.

#HumaQureshi and #AmritaRao get minimal scope.

Final word? #JollyLLB3 entertains while delivering a strong social message… Must watch!

Jolly LLB 3 wastes no time in pulling viewers into the reality of land disputes in India, especially with farmers. The film opens on a heart-wrenching note as farmer Rajaram takes his own life after losing his land due to the ‘Bikaner to Boston' project headed by ruthless businessman Haribhai Khaitan (Gajraj Rao). His widow, Janki (Seema Biswas), decides to fight back by filing a petition, sparking a courtroom clash that pits small-town lawyers, Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, against a high-profile Advocate Vikram (Ram Kapoor).
The 2 best parts about Jolly LLB 3 is how it balances humor and serious moments without ever feeling overdone. The 28-minute courtroom scene in the second half managed to hold the interest only with brilliantly placed Valentine dinner date sequence ft Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, and Sourabh Shukla. Another highlight is that Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, and Saurabh Shukla effortlessly keep the essence of the franchise alive; it never feels forced. What also stood out to me were the small, detailed scenes that carry deep emotions and meaning, which many might have missed. For instance, there’s a powerful moment where Akshay Kumar wipes off the tikka from his forehead before choosing to drink alcohol, subtly showing his inner conflict.

The subject matter is heavy, and the film does drown in its own seriousness but carefully edited with comedy scenes. The satirical punches and the signature banter between Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, both reprising their much-loved roles, land effectively. Seema Biswas, as Janaki, is crucial in Jolly LLB 3. Less dialogues, and only facial expressions and silences do much of the work.
What works for Jolly LLB 3: A sharp satirical courtroom drama, Jolly LLB 3 keeps you engaged for its 2-hour and 37-minute runtime. 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. What stands out most are the performances. They’re neither overdone nor too restrained, striking a balance that works. While the leading trio of Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla are fantastic in their respective roles,  Gajraj Rao and Ram Kapoor too leave an impact as the negative forces of the film. Another thing that works well is the background music. It stays subtle, never interrupting the story or overpowering the dialogues, which is important in a courtroom drama. 

What doesn’t work for Jolly LLB 3:  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. 
Verdict: The first half could have been tighter, but its mix of biting humor, engaging courtroom battle, and the nostalgia of seeing the original cast back together makes Jolly LLB 3 an entertaining ride by the end. It’s a return of OG Akshay Kumar after a very long time. It may not break new ground, but makers succeed in keeping you invested, largely thanks to its cast. Akshay Kumar as 'Jolly No. 2' blends into the narrative rather than overshadowing it, while Arshad Warsi equally stands out— and that, surprisingly, is the film’s strength.


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.
