The much loved Jolly LLB franchise is back with its third instalment addressing the issue of social injustice where a common person is fighting for its human rights.
A farmer Rajaram Solanki commits suicide after losing his agricultural land. Haribhai Khetan (Gajraj Rao) a rich industrialist businessman dreams of building a township on this seized agricultural land. Rajaram’s wife Janki (Seema Biswas) is now seeking justice for her husband’s untimely death. Both the Jollys who accuse each other of stealing cases are now up against each other in this case.
Which of the two Jollys will help her in getting justice against Haribhai Khetan?
Movie is loosely based on the events of 2011 Bhatta Parsaul land grab case. It tackles a serious issue with humour and drama without really losing its direction. The plot is straightforward. First half of the movie is ok, but in the second half it really picks up and soars including the climax scene.
Direction by Subhash Kapoor is good. Movie editing by Chandrashekhar Prajapati is sharp. Dialogues by Subhash Kapoor are hard-hitting and clapworthy. Background music of the movie is really good. There is nothing much to talk about the music as the songs are usually played in the background, thus suiting the movie narrative.
Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi are first rate in their performances. It is Saurabh Shukla who once again steals the show with his performance as the judge Sunderlal Tripathi. Ram Kapoor delivers a solid performance as an advocate defending Haribhai. Gajraj Rao is fantastic. Amrita Rao and Huma Qureshi do justice to their roles. Seema Biswas is superb.
Jolly LLB 3 is an engaging court drama that is both thought provoking and highly entertaining. Indeed a worthy addition to the movie franchise.
