And that is what makes his Jolly so Jolly. ![]() Warsi is more suited for dark comedies as his persona doesn't need to balance between intensity and slapstick - he is an alloy of the two. Perhaps this unique trait earned him the role, replacing Warsi. Subhash Kapoor takes you through an engaging plot which is flanked by crisp dialogue, dark and riotous comedy, well-developed characters, clever and well-researched court procedures, and a neatly underlined message.Īkshay Kumar can make you laugh with his comic timing, then think with his intensity, and then laugh again with another crack. All these seem to coincide with the recent observation of the Bar Council that nearly half of India's lawyers are charlatans. ![]() The judge in the movie also points out the low ratio of lawyers to cases. And the all-pervading corruption in the form of bribery and sycophancy often affects judgments. And there is little scope for a criminal (or an innocent man) to be represented fairly by "criminal lawyers". There are also good lawyers that are having a hard time due to the rat race. All they are looking for is to get their own chambers. There are underqualified LLBs fighting cases in their own time. The problems that pervade our law system, as opined in the film, are majorly in the grassroots - the smaller sessions and district courts. Guiding you are a hilarious, plump judge (Justice Sunderlal Tripathy helmed brilliantly by Saurabh Shukla) with meaty dialogues and lessons, a dangerous, intimidating encounter specialist who has nowhere to hide, an elusive militant (Suryaveer Singh by Inaamulhaq), a young barrister who is willing to go to any lengths for justice and to clear his own conscience, and a law system that is in a moral impediment - all in a comical and satirical discourse.Īlthough it's hard to vouch for the validity of its portrayal of the Indian legal system or bureaucracy, Jolly LLB 2 aptly narrates the system's issues from the perspective of litigants who have suffered. And then unfolds a game of chess between the prosecution and the defense that takes you on a journey from a dull, sultry and smelly courtroom in Lucknow to a Kashmir under siege. Plus, the young lawyer already has a blot on his reputation that may work against him. Jolly, although witty and intelligent, lacks Mathur's conviction or experience. But the defendant, the main accused in the encounter, appoints formidable lawyer Sachin Kantilal Mathur (Annu Kapoor) who has successfully defended several big names before. Witnessing the destruction he has caused out of greed, he takes up the onus of filing a PIL and fighting the case himself. Jagdishwar Mishra (Akshay Kumar), or Jolly, a canny and corrupt lawyer, is swept by remorse after one of his clients, Hina Siddiqui (Sayani Gupta), a helpless widow of a man (Iqbal Qasim played by Manav Kaul) killed in a "police encounter", commits suicide after he swindles two lakhs from her with the promise of "justice". Even though he, too, could have excelled in Jolly's role as he did in the original film, it was a wise decision to employ Akshay Kumar as his powerful emoting and star power make this edition one of the most tragic yet funny courtroom dramas Bollywood has seen in recent times.Īnd ensembling with director and writer Subhash Kapoor, Fox Star Studios, and veteran co-actors including Saurabh Shukla and Annu Kapoor, the 49-year-old Airlift star breaks from his action-hero avatar to give you an experience that will be etched in your memory for a very long time. Arshad Warsi (the "Circuit" to Munnabhai), in a recent interview, dismissed the speculation that he wasn't offered the role of Jolly in Jolly LLB 2 because Akshay Kumar was bigger than he, by saying that with a celebrity like the latter, the movie would look larger than before.Īnd the humble Warsi is right. ![]()
