Review / Analysis

What Works

• The film blends humour and serious themes (land rights, farmers’ struggles, power imbalance) in a way that feels relevant.
• Akshay and Arshad’s chemistry: their back-and-forth comic timing is effective, especially in courtroom banter and character rivalry.
• Saurabh Shukla as Judge Tripathi adds gravitas, wit, and emotional anchor.
• Seema Biswas stands out in a powerful, emotionally grounded performance as a grieving widow seeking justice. Her quiet moments are evocative.
• The screenplay has moments of sharp satire, especially in how the film portrays abuse of power, corporate greed, and legal loopholes. The dialogue is praised for wit.

What Doesn’t Land Perfectly

• Some scenes slow down in pacing — especially when switching between courtroom and village sequences; not all comic bits land.
• Supporting characters like the wives (Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao) have limited scope, less screen time, or fewer arcs in comparison to leads.
• Some humour is formulaic, and certain jokes feel predictable. The film occasionally leans too much on “Jolly vs Jolly” comedy rather than deep conflict.

Conclusion

Jolly LLB 3 largely succeeds in being entertaining and meaningful. While it may not reinvent the court drama genre, it reaffirms why this franchise works — humour, moral questions, strong leads, and a message that matters. If you enjoy legal dramas or socially conscious Bollywood, this is worth a watch.
