The third part of the Jolly LLB trilogy brings back Jagdish Tyagi and Jagdishwar Mishra for the biggest face-off as penurious widow Janki Devi Solanki awaits justice against business tycoon Haribhai Khaitan in a satire on the judiciary, justice and the gulf between the privileged and the people on the other side of the spectrum.

Critic Consensus

Jolly LLB 3 has received a broadly positive critical reception, with most reviewers finding it an entertaining and socially conscious courtroom drama. Performances across the board — particularly from Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, and Saurabh Shukla — drew frequent praise, with several critics singling out Shukla as a standout. The film's blend of humour with pointed commentary on class inequality and cronyism was widely appreciated. The most consistent criticism came from a minority of reviewers who found the storytelling weak, the pacing slow, and the film occasionally preachy.

4.0
In this one, the story-telling is at its most basic, and it is far and away the weakest part of the franchise. But this element is weighed down by the slow-paced skirmishes between the two Jollys, in a film which feels too long even as it begins.

Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla's Jolly LLB 3 is a brilliantly done social dramedy and I just do not want to find flaws.

Jolly LLB 3 is a fine example of how cinema can tackle pressing social issues with humour, without ever diluting their seriousness. With its sharp writing and powerful performances, the film delivers a complete cinematic experience. It is pure entertainment and a must watch.

7.0
Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi deliver entertaining performances in Subhash Kapoor's courtroom drama, but it's Saurabh Shukla as Judge Tripathi who steals the show. A witty mix of satire, comedy, and social commentary, the film balances laughs with a hard-hitting story.

Devesh Sharma· Filmfare
7.0
It comes as a most pleasant surprise that even during the present times, out of Bollywood comes a film that supports the struggle of the farmers. It's an anti-establishment film which clearly points out the cronyism that exists between politicians and businessmen. Watch the film for its powerful message.

7.0
The three lead actors, Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla, are in top form. Jolly LLB 3 does shift gears from humour to violence to courtroom rhetoric, so the right questions are highlighted.

7.0
This is a franchise that has never leaned on song and dance routines, macho swagger, or cameos. Its strength lies in compelling plots and strong performances.

... has the potential to be a clean and happy family entertainer. Slightly inclined towards preachy, it picks up soon and rectifies before ending up as a complete shipwreck

Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's powerful courtroom showdown elevates the film. For you're more interested in what they're up to.

Kapoor once again punches above the genre's weight to say that in the social contract there can't be separate clauses for the haves and have not's. Though the franchise comes with pitfalls and the space is no longer a novelty, Jolly LLB 3 delivers a potent message about equitable distribution of wealth through its courtroom narrative.

The real star performers in 'Jolly LLB 3' are not just Akshay Kumar & Arshad Warsi, but it is Seema Biswas & Saurabh Shukla's performances which will make you think.
