#MOVIEREVIEW – #JollyLLB-2 – (2017)

Today we are here with review of a much talked out courtroom drama movie JOLLY LLB-2 which satirizes the Indian Legal system due to which a Petition was also filed against this movie in the Bombay High Court for showing the judicial system in a bad shape and as a result, the Committees were formed by the Bombay High Court & the Supreme Court of India to review the movie. JOLLY LLB-2 is a sequel to Jolly LLB(2013) and written & directed by the same Subash Kapoor and has Akshay Kumar, Huma Qureshi, Saurabh Shukla, Annu Kapoor & Sayani Gupta in lead roles.

PLOT:

Jagdishwar Mishra alias Jolly (Akshay Kumar) is a struggling lawyer who works as an Assistant to a senior Advocate Rizvi of Luckhnow who aspires to be a good lawyer and make his father proud.

After the suicide of Hina (Sayani Gupta) whose husband is killed in a fake encounter, Jolly decides to fight case of Hina. A complicated case that revolves around terrorism, fake encounter & corruption becomes very tough affair for Jolly.

After all odds, will he be able to unearth the truth and bring justice is what is left to see in the movie.

ANALYSIS:

The sequel as expected is a quite fun affair which gets serious at right moments. The movie is made on quite serious issue and for making it neutral, the filmmaker has tried to add humour from time to time especially the funny behaviour of Judge in the courtroom e.g. coming in the courtroom while dancing, his lowering the lamp, putting the five hammers on his table.

Some of the humorous scenes look unnecessary also such as Judge’s (Sourav Shukla) call related to Manish Malhotra’s Lehga or his dancing on the tune of Punjabi song. Dialogues are peculiar and some of them very emotional.

Jolly’s transition from smaller cases to bigger case is missing and his preparation for the case is also missing to some extent and else he is kept busy singing ‘BAANWRA MANN’.

Scene of the Cricket match between Ghoonghat waalis v/s Bhurkaa waalis with the name captioned on their backs such as Ganesh’s bua or Babu’s bahu or Shahid’s Khaala symbolizing the situation of females in our society, touches my heart. Also, Akshay’s cooking food for his wife and son, is also a new thing for bollywood.

Kanpur, Luckhnow city locations and the Courtroom scenes have been beautifully shot and one of the best scene is when Defense Lawyer Mathur and Judge Tripathi sits for dharna in the Courtroom itself.

The climax is slightly overstretched especially Mathur’s emotional drama involving his father and talking about his family and Justice Tripathi’s emotional speech in the end while delivering final verdict. The music is not that good.

WHAT’S GOOD:

Movie’s good dialogues and strong star cast makes movie a treat to watch. Full entertainment with a message for society and no dull moment.

NOT GOOD:

Sometimes, the movie loses its pace.

STAR PERFORMANCES:-

Akshay Kumar as Jolly has performed better than Arshad Warsi in Jolly LLB and filmmakers would be happy with their decision to replace him as Akshay play the role with great perfection.

Saurabh Shukla has played the part of Justice Tripathi with full dedication and is a treat to watch, he is a complete entertainer in the movie.

Annu Kapoor as a Lakhnavi Lawyer Mathur has also does a decent job. Huma Qureshi as an alcoholic and Jolly’s wife has looked good. Sayani Gupta as Hina makes a statement with her few scenes in the movie. Kumud Mishra has perfectly played his negative role in the movie.

FINAL WORDS:

Jolly LLB 2 is full on entertainer with humour and statement. With Saurabh Shukla and Akshay Kumar at their best.

My ratings for this movie is 3.5 out of 5 stars.

So keep following the page, good day till the next review
