Cast & story returns with familiar faces

Directed by Subhash Kapoor, Jolly LLB 3 reunites the lead duo: Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, reprising their fan-favourite lawyer roles from the earlier instalments. Saurabh Shukla returns as Judge Sunder Lal Tripathi, while Huma Qureshi and Amrita Rao star as Pushpa Pandey and Sandhya, respectively. The film, a legal comedy-drama, builds expectations on both nostalgia and relevant issues.

Early reactions: humour and message win hearts

Early reviews are glowing. Netizens on platforms like Twitter and X have lauded Jolly LLB 3 for its “honest performances” and being a “must-watch.” The film is being applauded for delivering satire and humour without losing sight of an important message. Akshay Kumar is being praised for his comic timing and emotional intensity, while Arshad Warsi is said to perfectly match him in moments of humour and restraint. Saurabh Shukla’s Judge Tripathi is again a highlight.

Critics emphasise that the film melds courtroom drama with real-life social issues, particularly touching upon themes of justice. Humour doesn’t undercut the seriousness but helps make the narrative more engaging.

Box-office & audience response so far

Advance bookings for Jolly LLB 3 have shown promise, collecting over ₹3.2 crore from more than 1.2 lakh tickets sold ahead of release.  Analysts predict a strong opening day, though some caution that long‐term success will depend on word-of-mouth and repeat viewing.

The film has been certified by the Central Board of Film Certification with a U/A certificate with a “16+” advisory. Some minor changes were required by the board, but these did not affect the core story. \

Concerns & criticisms

While the overall feedback has been positive, some criticism has emerged:

  • Some reviewers say the villain lacks depth, making certain conflicts feel predictable.
  • Others feel that female characters like those played by Huma Qureshi and Amrita Rao are underused, serving more as accessories to the main plot.

Conclusion

Jolly LLB 3 manages to deliver what the franchise promises: hearty laughs, courtroom drama, social relevance, and compelling performances. While it may not be perfect in every aspect, it begins on a very strong note. With positive early buzz and fan excitement high, the film is well-positioned to do solid business at the box office.
