Jolly LLB 3 marks the return of Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi as the competitive advocates. After a theatrical premiere on September 19, Jolly LLB 3 is among the biggest releases this weekend. Although the movie is garnering positive reviews on the internet, it has failed to outrun its predecessor (Jolly LLB 2) in terms of box office collection.
Jolly LLB 3 vs. Jolly LLB 2 and 1
Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi play the leading lawyer duo in Subhash Kapoor’s Jolly LLB 3. The third installment in the legal comedy-drama film series minted Rs 12.50 crore on its opening day, as per Sacnilk. This is Rs 1.20 crore less than its predecessor (Jolly LLB 2), as it earned Rs 13.20 crore on Day 1, followed by Rs 17.31 and Rs 19.95 crore on the weekend before witnessing a dip. In terms of box office numbers, Jolly LLB 3 is lagging behind the second installment, and later in the day, we will positively get an idea of its first weekend earnings. The first part, featuring Arshad Warsi in the lead, earned Rs 3.05 crore on its opening day with a total gross collection of Rs 43.78 crore during its theatrical run, which was surprisingly almost four times of its entire budget (approx. Rs 12 crore).
Jolly LLB 3 breaks three-part curse
Meanwhile, many netizens on X (formerly Twitter) are lauding the film for its witty narrative and impressive take on social issues such as farmers’ suicide and corporate. Some even credited Jolly LLB 3 for breaking the three-part curse for its consecutive good performance and storyline. For the unversed, the three-part curse is popular among netizens for film franchises and series. While some movies deliver amazing narratives in the first and second parts, the third one ends up disappointing fans, but since Jolly LLB 3 stood firm on the expectations of fans, some netizens are happy that the curse is broken by Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi’s trilogy.
The story of Jolly LLB 3 follows a battle of wits between the rival lawyers, Jagdwishwar ‘Jolly’ Mishra (played by Akshay Kumar) and Jagdish ‘Jolly’ Tyagi (played by Arshad Warsi). However, they find themselves joining hands to help a farmer’s widow to get justice after her land is taken over by a powerful firm.
Saurabh Shukla reprises his role as Judge Tripathi, whose courtroom becomes a chaotic battlefield with the rival Jollys. The star-studded ensemble also features Huma Qureshi and Amrita Rao in their original roles. Gajraj Rao and Seema Biswas also deliver impactful performances as they join the franchise in the third installment.
