Story Overview (Spoiler‑Free)
“Jolly LLB 3” is the third installment in the Jolly LLB franchise, bringing together the two titular lawyers: one from the first film (Arshad Warsi’s Jolly Tyagi) and one from the second (Akshay Kumar’s Jolly Mishra). Both lawyers are pitted against each other in a courtroom battle that arises from a case involving farmers whose lands are being threatened by a powerful and corrupt businessman. The conflict is not just legal, but also moral: who truly stands for justice, how the law is used or misused, and how the weaker sections of society can fight back.
As the story unfolds, comedy, rivalry, courtroom drama, and social commentary are intertwined. The interactions between the two Jollys, the judge, the plaintiff farmers, and the antagonist form the core of the drama. There are emotional stakes, ethical dilemmas, moments of humour and satire, and a build‑up to courtroom confrontations.
Genre & Theme
The film sits at the intersection of comedy and legal drama with strong social overtones.
Themes include justice vs corruption, inequality of power, the exploitation of vulnerable groups (in this film farmers), the integrity of law, identity (two characters both called “Jolly”), and how the legal system operates in real life.
It uses satire to highlight systemic issues, as well as humour to keep things engaging.
Type of Storytelling
The storytelling is linear — it moves from introduction → buildup → conflict → courtroom events → resolution. There are no widely reported major non‑linear narrative techniques (like multiple timelines or flashbacks) dominating the style.
The narration style is conventional in terms of structure but is infused with comedic dialogues, courtroom theatrics, and moral conflict, giving it both entertainment value and reflective moments.
Shooting Details
Shooting Locations: One confirmed location is Ajmer, where the team built a courtroom set in Ajmer’s DRM office. (Ajmer is in Rajasthan.)
Duration of Shoot: The primary shoot schedule began around May 2024 in Ajmer. The full timeline from start to wrap‑up is not completely publicly detailed.
Major Incidents / Behind‑the‑Scenes:
The shoot in Ajmer involved constructing a courtroom set specially in a DRM office. At one point, actors Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi wrapped up a schedule in Ajmer, and shared video evidence of being covered in blood hints at intense scenes / action or combat.
No serious major controversies or accidents during shooting have been publicly reported (as of current data).
Cast / Crew Experiences: The press reports show that the reunion of familiar characters (Judge Tripathi, etc) has been welcomed by the cast. Also, teaser and promo work show the actors and crew embracing the humour and satire of the project. The competitive premise (two Jollys) is being pitched heavily in promotions.
Budget & Economics
Estimated Budget (Production + Marketing): Approximately ₹120 crore

International release in territories such as North America on the same or similar date under the distributor being Star Studio18 (also, international partners such as Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures via 20th Century Studios in some markets).
There was a dispute with multiplex chain(s) over Virtual Print Fee (VPF) amounting to ~₹3.5 crore which temporarily held back advance bookings. This was resolved just before release.
Screen Count (India + International): Precise count not publicly disclosed yet. What is known: advance booking showed demand strong in many India cities. Number of shows/theaters expected large, as this is a major release with big stars.
Marketing & Promotion
Teaser Release Date & Reception:
Teaser was released on 12 August 2025. It showed Judge Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla) confronting the two Jollys (Akshay Kumar & Arshad Warsi) with his humorous signature style. This teaser created considerable buzz.
Trailer Launch:
The full trailer was launched at a promotional event in Kanpur on 10 September 2025.
Advance Booking Performance:
Before release, advance bookings had crossed about ₹6.37 crore considering block bookings and early morning ticket sales.
By early morning of release day, ~1,20,000 tickets had been sold, netting about ₹3.23 crore; with block bookings, total rose to about ₹6.37 crore.
Analysts expected the opening day collection to be in the range of ₹11‑14 crore, based on these advance booking numbers.
Other Promotion / Media Engagements:
The film was promoted on TV shows such as Bigg Boss 19, The Great Indian Kapil Show, Aap Ki Adalat.
There were viral moments in promotions, e.g. Akshay Kumar’s remark “Gutka Nahi Khana Chahiye” in Kanpur went viral.
Teaser videos featuring Judge Tripathi’s funny monologues and setting up the rivalry between the two Jollys helped build anticipation.
Release, Certification, & Legalities
The film received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (India), with some minor modifications required (for dialogues / visuals).
There was a brief issue with advance booking: multiplex chain PVR INOX raised an issue over Virtual Print Fee (a fee that distributors/films sometimes pay to multiplexes), asking for approx ₹3.5 crore; advance bookings were temporarily held up. The producers paid under protest, and advance bookings were resumed.
Box Office Collection
Here’s what is known so far in terms of box office performance (India) for the early days, plus other performance indicators. Since the film is new, full weekly / international / lifetime data may still be emerging.
Day Indian Box Office Collection Notes / Observations
Advance Booking (pre‑release / early morning of Day 1) ~ ₹6.37 crore (includes block bookings, early ticket sales) Strong indicator of initial demand.
Day 1 (Friday, opening day) ~ ₹12.75 crore (net) The film opened solidly, matching expectations given advance bookings.
Day 2 (Saturday) Substantial jump; cumulative by end of Day 2 ~ ₹32 crore The film saw strong growth on Saturday as word‑of‑mouth and audience awareness increased.
Weekend projections (i.e. Day 3 / Sunday) are expected to continue the growth, though exact figures are not yet confirmed.
Overseas / International Collections: As of current accessible info, precise overseas numbers have not been reliably reported.
Worldwide Gross: Not yet available definitively; still being tabulated.
Comparison, Hit or Flop Verdict
Given the ₹120 crore estimated budget, the first two days’ collections (₹32 crore) represent a decent start but still need sustained performance over the weekend and subsequent weekdays to cover cost and make profit.
Compared with similar films released recently or earlier in the year, this opening is strong, particularly given that Jolly LLB 3 is a sequel in a legal‑comedy franchise rather than a mass action spectacle.
Early indicators (advance bookings, word‑of‑mouth, etc.) suggest the film is likely to be a hit or at least profitable, assuming it maintains momentum.

Critical Reaction: So far, reviews are “generally positive.” Critics have praised the interplay between the two lead Jollys, the courtroom drama, and the social commentary aspects.

Audience Reaction & Social Media Buzz:

Advance booking interest reflects positive anticipation.
Social media has reacted favorably in many places to the core premise (two Jollys, justice for farmers, satire).
