![]() ![]() In these troubled times, you need to have faith in something to keep you afloat. It keeps you engaged, makes you laugh and then reinforces your faith in the judicial system. Jolly LLB 2 is definitely worth a watch. And even if you already do have plans then cancel them and book the movie tickets now! The movie is totally worth it! In the end, I would just say that if you’re still clueless about your weekend plans then Jolly LLB 2 it is. Since all Akshay Kumar fans are going to see this, I would urge the non-fans to watch it as well. But all in all Jolly LLB 2 was pulled off very well by the actors and director. The music was fine, action scenes looked unwanted and courtroom humour sometimes ruined the suspense mood. His performance is aided and enhanced by the wonderful supporting actors-theatre has obviously become a big hunting ground for talent scouts. In his new ‘serious actor’ avatar, Akshay Kumar excels and effortlessly does the henpecked husband (to Huma Qureshi’s Gucci-craving Pushpa) as well as the committed lawyer role well. Kapoor has the ability to move and amuse the audience at the same time, which makes Jolly LLB2 such a satisfying watch. With Akshay Kumar’s star power, positive word of mouth and almost zero competition at the box office, JOLLY LLB 2 has the potential to grow huge at the box office. On the whole, JOLLY LLB 2 comes across as a powerful courtoom drama which is laced with humour as well as emotions. It’s a good idea: a legal-drama franchise, powered by Saurabh Shukla’s exasperated sighs. ![]() We see this as a sequel even though we know it’s not quite one. The rest of the writing conveniently bounces back and forth between the two sides of the case, keeping things interesting, but not entirely unexpected.īlogical Conclusion, The New Sunday Express Or even the other wink at women power through Jolly's wife ( Huma Qureshi). However that outside the room, seems a bit much, even if it is hilarious. Like they say in the film, you have to smile because you are in Lucknow. The unrealistic bit is, of course the satire, intended to keep things light. But, that could just be to bring in the dreariness of the court room to the theater. The courtroom drama too goes back and forth borderlining unbelievable every once in a while. However, those extra seconds spent to underline the drama, take away from the impact. They are usually at emotional turning points in the film. ![]() There are many scenes that stretch longer than necessary. That's not to say, every minute is engaging. Even so, the drama, the back and forth between the two lawyers and the ever-entertaining judge in Saurabh Shukla keep you interested through the 2+ hours.Īkshay Kumar (Jolly) on the other hand merges with the background – in a good way. Soon enough though, we realise that the common man/police officer (be it from Singham, Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore, etc) who takes on the system is replaced by a lawyer. On the surface, it'd look like Jolly LLB 2 has Akshay Kumar do something different from the norm - relatively fewer songs, lesser drama than we'd expect, make it seem different. Times of India - "the songs are short in duration, but make a powerful impact." Milliblog - "Middling multi-composer mix, this." It does help that courtroom dramas haven't become commonplace enough to make you wonder whether or not it will more of the same. But, there one can always hope for some restraint, right? Sure, with Akshay Kumar getting in the “up against the system” mode, melodrama cannot be kept at bay. The “more” bit is a little worrisome because it will yet again take away from what could be real-life like. Both defence and prosecution feel like they have done their homework and more. Instead, the “courtroom” in “courtroom drama” seems to be taking stage rather than plain drama. It seems to have lost its comical gimmickry. Jolly LL.B 2 looks like it is taking care of all the issues I had with the first installment, Jolly L.L.B. ![]()
