Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi-starrer Jolly LLB 3 is now in theatres, all set to entertain you with a mix of comedy, drama, and satire. Saurabh Shukla returns as the much-loved Judge Tripathi, who this time has to deal with not one, but two Jollys. The third installment of the popular Jolly LLB series brings together the favourite lawyers – Arshad Warsi from Jolly LLB (2013) and Akshay Kumar from Jolly LLB 2 (2017). However, this time, the story revolves around a courtroom battle to determine who is the ‘real Jolly.’
The first two films were commercial hits, the original, starring Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani, earned nearly three times its Rs 12 crore budget, while the second, with Akshay Kumar and Anu Kapoor, was a blockbuster crossing Rs 200 crore. Now, the question is, will Jolly LLB 3 beat the box office collections of Jolly LLB 2?
