The early reviews for Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, are overwhelmingly positive, with many calling the courtroom drama sharp, funny, and emotionally resonant.
What stands out is how the film balances its satire and social themes with entertaining courtroom battles. Fans particularly appreciate the chemistry between the two leads, the nostalgic return of supporting characters, and the emotional stakes involving farmer exploitation.
Several critics point to strong performances across the board. Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi get high marks for their banter, legal face-offs, and ability to carry the film through both comedic and serious moments. Saurabh Shukla’s Judge Tripathi also receives praise for bringing gravitas and humor in equal measure.
On the downside, some reviews feel the first half drags somewhat, with pacing issues and underutilization of female characters (Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao) mentioned. Still, the second half, especially the courtroom confrontations, is seen as a redeeming and powerful stretch.
This third installment is unique in the Jolly LLB series because it reunites both “Jolly” protagonists—Arshad Warsi’s Jolly Tyagi and Akshay Kumar’s Jolly Mishra—in the same courtroom. Fans and critics note that this adds fresh tension and novelty compared to the earlier films, which featured them separately.
Overall, Jolly LLB 3 seems poised to satisfy both longtime fans of the franchise and general audiences looking for meaningful entertainment—mixing humor, satire, and courtroom drama with social relevance. It may not be perfect, but the early buzz suggests strong box office potential driven by word of mouth. What remains to be seen is how well it holds up over time and whether the climactic courtroom moments leave the impact that fans expect.
