From the trailers, Jolly LLB 3 seems a savage drama of Jolly 1(Jagdish Tyagi) pitted against Jolly 2 (Jagdeshwar Mishra), giving Judge Sunder Lal a mini heart attack. However, that isn’t the case.
In all its essence, Jolly LLB 3, is a complete package; there’s rivalry, farmer’s revolution, Sundar Lal’s courtroom of not-so-bizarre cases, a goat that whines at the correct time, and whatnot.
Here, have a look at the trailer.
Now, Jolly LLB 3 film review. There are multiple storylines that centre around the theme of getting the poor farmers their rightful share against illegal land occupancy in the name of development.
Three interrelated plot lines run throughout the film: the sweet and sour relationship between Jolly 1 and Jolly 2, Janki Amma’s resolve to seek justice against the traumatic events related to illegal land grabbing, and finally Shukla ji’s blossoming life and love.
First, the relationship between Jolly 1 and Jolly 2. The clever Jagdishwar Mishra is on a mission to remove Jolly 1 from the Delhi Court. And his formula is simple: just steal Jagdish Tyagi’s(original Jolly) clients and fight the case before he finds out. But trouble brews every time he finds out that he has been duped and flips out in anger to seek his rightful share from Jagdishwar Mishra. This relationship evolves in the film some time before the interval when they realise that they are both on the same side of the coin (or with the rightful contender of the case: Janki Amma).
But even as they decide to unite for this purpose, the ego clashes keep them divided, and that’s what favours the opponent. And when the realisation dawns, at last they come together as a team, truly, in spirit, each using his strength to complement others’ weakness.
The second storyline that starts with a farmer, Rajaram Solanki’s suicide, as he is unable to save his ancestral land, turns into his widow Janki Amma’s resolve to get her rightful land back. Having lost her husband to a corrupt system and her daughter-in-law to a rumour set off by Haribhai Khetan’s machinery, she sets out to seek justice against illegal land occupation. But, with no money and a support system, her battle holds no weight. Seema Biswas as Janki Amma fit the role effortlessly, her eyes deeply piercing through the scenes speak volumes without uttering a single syllable.
Lastly, the plot line that keeps everything intact with light comedy, romance, and a reminder of the last two films of the franchise is Judge Sunder Lal’s life and love story. Having suffered a heart attack and losing his wife to one, he has adopted a fitness routine and is also actively dating. He is the guy with the rose(s) and rose bouquet, on his desk in the court, when he goes to meet his crush or when he is delivering the final verdict.
When there are two Jollys in one film, a whole lot of it becomes a balancing act between the two. However, these two unite early on in the film against the real evil. So, the real balancing act is Jolly 1 and Jolly 2 against Haribhai Khetan and his machinery, working against the poor farmers. It is the counterbalance that feels a little stretched, more like the films of the early 2000s. The supporting cast, especially Seema Biswas, Gajraj Rao, and Saurabh Shukla, look effortless in their roles.
