Jolly LLB 3 Box Office Day 13: Bringing long-weekend jolly with it, the Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi courtroom drama has officially entered the Rs 100 crore club. After seeing a steady decline of 56% on weekdays, Jolly LLB 3 became a franchise blockbuster in its second week. While the sales were slow, the star power and the hard-hitting theme made it a family-friendly fan-favourite.
After collecting Rs 74 crore in its first week, Jolly LLB 3 saw a 73% bump in sales on its second Saturday. After grossing more than Rs 12 on the second Sunday, Jolly LLB 3 saw a steep dip this Monday. Recovering consistently from the Monday blues, the Akshay Kumar-Arshad Warsi starrer collected Rs 3.85 crore. Tipping the scales beyond the Rs 100 crore mark, it was a significant day for the movie.
As fans praise the timeless performance of Saurabh Shukla as Judge Sunder Lal Tripathi, the Jolly LLB franchise marked the comeback of both the Jollys uplifted the spirit of the audiences. However, with major Dussehra releases like Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ and Varun Dhawan-Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari,‘ Jolly LLB 3 might lose traction on the big screen.
Jolly LLB 3 Box Office Day 13: Declining occupancy
Despite consistent sales at the box office, Jolly LLB 3 was quick to lose traction after its second weekend. The Subhash Kapoor directorial, though, only managed to achieve a 13.49% overall occupancy rate in its second week. While night shows remained popular, Kolkata showered a lot of love to the movie. Across the 75 shows scheduled in the city, the film had a 61.5% occupancy rate. On the other hand, across the 1000+ screenings in Delhi NCR, only 13% of theatres were occupied, overall. Similar trends were observed in Mumbai, Lucknow, Jaipur, and Pune.
Despite nearly 400 shows in Ahmedabad, audiences only gave single-digit occupancy to Jolly LLB 3. It failed to capture the audience of Sura, Chandigarh, and Bhopal, too – all with 8% occupancy and lower. Produced by Star Studios and Kangra Talkies, this courtroom drama also stars Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao, and Gajraj Rao in key roles.
