Does Jolly LLB 3 Live Up to Its Predecessors?

Mumbai, Sep 19 (NationPress) The much-anticipated film “Jolly LLB 3”, featuring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, has finally arrived in cinemas today, drawing a spectrum of public reactions that range from commendation to critique.

Some audience members have praised the film for its impactful storytelling and relevance to current issues, while others feel it doesn't quite measure up to its predecessors in the franchise. Many viewers highlighted the commendable performances and direction, deeming the film to carry significant social relevance. One audience member shared with IANS that the movie is “very good”, showcasing strong characters and thought-provoking themes, particularly emphasizing the plight of farmers.

Another viewer expressed that Akshay had a more prominent role compared to Arshad and appreciated the overall effect of the film, though he suggested that the editing could have been more precise. He stated, “It’s a very good film. Direction is good; all the characters are written well. Akshay has more role than Arshad in the movie. However, I feel editing could have been sharper. But the movie is so powerful, realistic, thought-provoking, and socially relevant. Our farmers have to fight for their rights. So, I think people will ignore the runtime. The first part was very good.”

Conversely, others felt that this installment did not reach the heights of its earlier parts. One moviegoer mentioned that the first two films were stronger, but still appreciated the chemistry between Akshay and Arshad, which many considered a highlight of the film.

“I feel the first and second parts were better than this. If I have to compare, for me, the second part was the best. Akshay and Arshad’s chemistry is very good,” remarked another audience member.

Some viewers noted that while the subject matter was commendable and performances strong, the pacing was inconsistent. One pointed out that the first half felt prolonged as a buildup, while the second half gained traction. He also observed that unlike the previous films, which focused heavily on courtroom drama, this one took a different narrative direction. Echoing this sentiment, a viewer noted, “I feel the first half was more like a build-up, while the second half picked up. The first half of the film felt a little dragged. The previous films focused more on cases, but this one takes a different angle.”

In summary, “Jolly LLB 3” strives to convey a socially relevant narrative accompanied by strong performances and engaging moments. While many audiences appreciated the cast's efforts, they felt the film did not quite match the earlier parts of the series.
