Jolly LLB 3 Movie Review: A Riveting Courtroom Duel with Heart and Humour

Plot:

The film wastes no time setting the stakes. A farmer’s suicide in Rajasthan, after losing his ancestral land, triggers a legal storm. The case revolves around Haribhai Khetan (Gajraj Rao), India’s wealthiest tycoon, whose dream of building a sprawling township on seized farmland threatens to uproot thousands. Both Jollys—Akshay Kumar’s sharp, flamboyant advocate and Arshad Warsi’s scrappy, streetwise lawyer—land on opposite sides, igniting a fierce legal duel that forms the heart of the film.

Jolly LLB 3 Movie Review:

Subhash Kapoor known for blending biting satire with entertainment, delivers his sharpest writing yet. The screenplay deftly balances laugh-out-loud moments and intense emotional beats, ensuring that the humour never dilutes the seriousness of the subject. There are cheeky nods to real-life scandals—a sly reference to a fugitive businessman “VM” draws chuckles—yet the satire is always rooted in reality. The dialogues crackle with wit and sting with truth, often evoking applause. Even as the story takes darker turns, there is a constant undercurrent of warmth, the kind of emotional pulse that has defined the Jolly LLB franchise.

The first half eases viewers in with breezy courtroom banter and subtle humour, though the pre-interval twist doesn’t land as forcefully as intended. It’s in the second half that the film truly soars. The tension mounts as the legal duel intensifies, leading to several clap-worthy exchanges and a crescendo of high-stakes drama. The climax is a standout—an electrifying courtroom showdown that’s both rousing and deeply moving, anchored by a fiery monologue that leaves the audience in stunned silence before they break into applause.

Much of the film’s charm lies in how effortlessly the actors slip back into their roles. Akshay Kumar brings a delicious mix of mischief and gravitas, switching from razor-sharp comic timing to emotionally charged passion without missing a beat. 

Arshad Warsi is equally compelling, his easy humour seamlessly giving way to simmering intensity as the story progresses. Their chemistry is electric—their courtroom confrontations crackle with energy and keep the narrative brisk and engaging. 

Saurabh Shukla once again proves why he’s the heart of this franchise; every time he appears as the judge, he elevates the scene, sprinkling it with dry wit and unexpected warmth. Gajraj Rao’s menacing stillness and understated menace make him a worthy adversary, though the writing sometimes renders his tycoon character too one-note. Ram Kapoor lends gravitas as a rival lawyer, while Seema Biswas brings aching humanity to her role as a grieving mother, making her moments some of the most emotionally piercing in the film. Huma Qureshi and Amrita Rao—are sidelined by the script, appearing only fleetingly without much to do, which is a missed opportunity.

If the film falters anywhere, it’s in a couple of indulgent emotional detours that linger longer than needed, and a pensive song in the middle that slightly blunts the momentum. Yet these are fleeting bumps in an otherwise tight and focused narrative. The pacing rarely slackens, the humour lands more often than not, and the screenplay stays lean without meandering into unnecessary subplots.

What makes Jolly LLB 3 stand out is how it marries entertainment with responsibility. It is unafraid to confront uncomfortable truths about systemic exploitation, yet never forgets to entertain. By the time the credits roll, the film leaves you with laughter, a lump in your throat, and plenty to reflect upon.

Ultimately, Jolly LLB 3 is not just another courtroom comedy—it’s a potent mix of satire, drama, and emotion that reaffirms why this franchise still resonates. It may not surpass the original’s freshness, but it stays true to its spirit while delivering a socially conscious punch. Thoroughly engaging and surprisingly heartfelt, this clash of the Jollys is a winner.
