It also highlights that how advocates are acting as a shield to the criminals rather than safeguarding justice.Īs the system being whole corrupt, the case was very challenging and there was no straight way for Jolly to prove his case, also the defence advocate Promod Mathur was very ruthless advocate who can go to any extent to prove his point.
#Jolly llb 2 movie review movie#
It is a dark comedy movie which tells the disaster condition of the Indian Judiciary, bad conditions of junior advocates, senior advocates blinded by the power of money. The movie Jolly LLB is directed by Subhash Kapoor. “GOOD LAWYERS KNOW THE LAW, GREAT LAWYERS KNOW THE JUDGE”įrom these words will begin reviews on the movie Jolly LLB. What’s so exciting about Kumar’s cinematic journey is that he is an A-lister, a superstar, and Bollywood royalty if you will, but that hasn’t stopped him from evolving as an artist.Author: leykeen kp Published on: JPublished in: Articles The deviation towards experimentation is a welcome sign. He’ll also surprise his wife with a bottle of choice alcohol, expertly fixing her a peg. Thankfully, even in his heroism, Kumar’s Jolly remains a realistic everyman indulging his wife and kid with a nice meal he cooked himself. What gives him this sudden and unexplained spurt of bravery? For example: Kumar’s inner turmoil during a setback is not at all explored. A couple of times, the film skims over important details. There’s an everyday man goodness he radiates- you believe him when he shows remorse, root for him when the chips are down, and are at the edge of your seat when he’s that close to uncovering the truth and begs the beleaguered judge for an extra five minutes. The film is hilarious for the most part, thanks to an ace act by Shukla who displays quirks such as watering the desk plant as he is seated in the courtroom and correcting wedding- card spelling errors as the hearing is about to begin.Īkshay Kumar is electrifyingly good even in portions with the usual emotional spiel. That happens amid a mad mess of a distracted-by-his daughter’s wedding judge (Saurabh Shukla), witnesses that pop out of nowhere, and the determined top lawyer (Annu Kapoor) defending the accused. Goliath battle plays out in the court for most part of the film, where the no-good hero comes into his own. The difference in the two places, about 90 kms apart, is delightfully explored in a dialogue comparing Kanpur’s brusque ways with Lucknow’s genteel manners, wherein even insults are given respectfully.
The underdog in this case is Kanpur’s lawyer Jagdishwar (Jolly) Mishra, looking for a break to set up practice in Lucknow. There’s the underdog fighting the establishment (corrupt lawyers, unscrupulous cops and other villains all in cahoots) with his ladylove always by his side. The sophomore version has scaled up to A-list star level, but the core stuff remains the same. It was in 2013 that Jolly LLB released to win accolades and awards. Let’s talk about the current one- Jolly LLB 2.
The Space Between Us review | Si3 review | Om Namo Venkatesha review | Rings review It’s just exhilaratingly exciting to talk about Kumar’s recent movie choices, despite the odd Housefull 3 (2016) or Entertainment (2014).
Next, he is all set to appear in Enthiran 2.0, Toilet, Ek Prem Katha, Crack, and Naam Shabana (spin-off to Kumar’s Baby released in 2015) among others. Think OMG-Oh My God!, Holiday, Special 26, Airlift and Rustom. In the last few years, Kumar has put his heft behind several unconventional stories, some of them small. He wants more than a jubilant opening and smashing weekend he wants to stretch his limits as an actor. Post Rowdy Rathore in 2012, Kumar’s choices have been more reflective, almost as if he now wants to give his talent its due. And Akshay Kumar’s choices are my favourite this season. Each actor makes a choice through their films- it’s a choice reflecting their career path a choice defining what they stand for.
