A lawyer from a small town in India moves to Delhi and tries to make a splash by reopening a high-profile case.

The film is stodgy and predictable. Warsi never really lifts off the screen despite his playing the poor-but-ultimately-good-man to the hilt.

The film may be titled Jolly LLB, but belongs wholly to Justice Sundarlal Tripathi, rivetingly played by Saurabh Shukla.

Rated: 2.5/4

Jolly LLB is a feel-good satire in the best sense of the term.

The ill-fitted nature of the film's limp comical jibes, and this odd finale, suggest Kapoor (and his producers) may have deliberately toned down the strong material for fear of retribution.

Sudhish Kamath

The Hindu

It's a telling commentary on the justice system, the great divide between the haves and the have-nots, the loopholes in the law and the moral degeneration of the middle class that's worth watching purely for the anger it feels against the system.

Jolly LLB's screenplay maybe predictable, end of the day it's inspired by the real-life case of Sanjeev Nanda. But what the story lacks in terms of surprise, the cast makes up with its performances

"Jolly LLB" is an okay movie that I don't feel anyone needs to rush and see, but its also one that is relatively harmless if you do see it. I think the movie has a strong start and wraps up well but really meanders in the middle sections. I liked the performances and message the movie had to offer, but I didn't enjoy a good chunk of it because the story didn't hold my interest until the final act. I think it is fine for a one time watch but the movie fails to stand out as there are countless Bollywood movies that I find to be much higher in quality.

A decent attempt at an interesting plot. Some good performances from Saurabh Shukla, Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi.

I must say...this was a really good movie! It tells us about what Justice really is, and that we should always keep going and fight for what's right...no matter what. It also tells us exactly how not to be corrupt. Although I didn't quite like the performances of some characters, I'm pretty happy with the overall plot, as it gives you a sense of accomplishment once you've finished watching. Bravo, Subhash Kapoor on writing & directing such an amazing film with a really nice message.

If there is anything this movie suffered from, was the pace at which the script went from one part of the story to another.. Consistency in speed is of utmost importance.. Acting didn't need anymore perfection with the stars already involved..

An offbeat movie with a non mainstream story. Thought it was fairly well made and entertaining. Not your usual Hindi movie but well worth a watch. But as usual don't go into the technicalities, it's a movie.

A must watch film, that discusses the biggest paradox in Indian society, the judiciary system.
