Jolly is a clumsy lawyer who is faced with representing the most critical court case of his career.
Jolly LLB 2, an Indian courtroom comedy-drama film written directed by Subhash Kapoor, is the much anticipated sequel to the 2013 National Award-winning film Jolly LLB, also directed by Kapoor and starring Arshad Warsi. Starring Akshay Kumar, Huma Qureshi, Annu Kapoor, and Saurabh Shukla, who reprises his role from Jolly LLB, Jolly LLB 2 presents the story of a small time but street smart Lucknow-based lawyer named Jagdishwar Mishra aka Jolly who works as an assistant for city’s big shot lawyer but dreams of having his own chamber one day. Jolly tricks a pregnant woman to pay for the last installment of his chamber but soon the guilt begins to take a toll on him. Voila, Jolly is a reformed man! What ensues is a good old Bollywood-esque tale of redemption wherein the hero takes it upon himself to ensure that the justice is done to those wronged by the system.
Jolly LLB 2 is a complete Bollywood package except that it begins with a quote from Oliver Stone about how cinema is a reflection of reality and ends with the famous Martin Luther King Jr. quotation: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Subhash Kapoor began his career as a political journalist and it makes sense for him to Stone and King. But he also knows how to make an entertaining film and so in between those two references—one at the beginning and one at the end—he tries his best to serve us with loads of comedy and drama with surprising levels of thrill and suspense. And it certainly works. Here is a smart film that offers a considerable amount of food for thought that’s been cleverly packaged within layers of seemingly uninhibited entertainment.
Jolly LLB 2 succeeds in raising very many pertinent questions about the corrupt state of the government machinery and the increasingly incapacitated judicial system without ever appearing to look serious. Credit should go to Subhash Kapoor and team for achieving this in such a seamless manner. The Kashmir sequences look quite convincing and succeed in capturing the unrest in the valley. Kapoor succeeds in evoking Munna Bhai M.B.B.S during the opening exam cheating sequence. The scenes featuring Saurabh Shukla and Annu Kapoor are pure gold. What a treat it is to witness the two veteran actors doing what they do best in front of a motion picture camera. Their performances are certainly the heart and soul of the movie. While Akshay Kumar delivers another solid performance, he fails to attain the brilliance of Airlift. Also, his comic timing could have been better, given his usual standards. Matching the brilliance of Arshad Warsi’s turn in Jolly LLB was always going to be a challenge for Akshay. But, nonetheless, it’s really heartening to see a superstar like him work so hard to prepare himself for each of his roles. As for Huma Qureshi, her part in the movie just doesn't do justice to her acting talents.
Overall, Jolly LLB 2 is a highly entertaining film that also succeeds in delivering some food for thought in a most unsuspecting manner. The film takes swipes at the judiciary, highlights its complexities and flaws, but ultimately reinstates faith in the judicial system. For a courtroom comedy-drama the film has surprisingly high levels of action and suspense. Jolly LLB 2 is a very well made film but it pales in comparison to Jolly LLB. However, Jolly LLB 2 has something for everyone. It’s certainly a must watch if you are an Akshay Kumar fan. As for others, you wouldn’t be disappointed if you do choose to watch it but don't go expecting another Jolly LLB.
