Directed
by
Subhash
Kapoor,
Jolly
LLB
is
one
of
the
most
realistic
films
depicting
the
courtroom
session.
Considering
that
comic
veteran
Boman
Irani
and
Arshad
Warsi
are
the
lead
stars,
one
would
expect
a
comic
caper
that
would
make
you
giggle
uncontrollably
throughout
the
film.
However,
that's
not
the
case!
Jolly
LLB
is
actually
a
serious
film
with
plenty
of
comic,
witty
and
satirical
dialogues
and
situations
that
seem
'straight
out
of
life'.
And
to
do
justice
to
the
script,
Boman
Irani
and
Arshad
Warsi
have
left
no
stones
unturned
by
their
brilliant
performances.
'Appeal'
spelled
as
'apple'
and
Jolly
telling
Lashkar-e-Taiba
terrorists
that
he's
Maskhar-e-Taiba
is
all
presented
in
a
very
comic
fashion.
The
courtroom
scenes
between
Jolly
(Arshad
Warsi)
and
Rajpal
(Boman
Irani)
and
shots
between
Rajpal
and
judge
Tripathi
(Saurabh
Shukla)
can
make
you
burst
out
with
laughter,
and
also
at
the
same
time,
it
depicts
the
sad
plight
of
our
government
institutions
and
highlights
the
challenges
and
struggles
that
a
common
man
has
to
face
on
a
regular
basis.
Extending
not
more
than
2
hours
and
10
minutes,
Jolly
LLB
gives
a
very
clear
picture
of
the
'real
courtroom'
in
the
country
and
this
is
perhaps
the
first
time
that
any
filmmaker
has
presented
the
courtroom
as
it
is!
Story
Jagdish
Tyagi,
aka
Jolly
(Arshad
Warsi),
is
an
advocate
from
Meerut
who
arrives
in
New
Delhi
with
the
desire
to
get
hold
of
a
case
that
would
make
him
rich
and
famous
instantly.
Jolly
is
lucky
to
get
involved
in
a
case
that
pitches
him
against
one
of
the
best
lawyers
in
the
country
-
Rajpal
(Boman
Irani).
What
happens
next
is
what
Jolly
LLB
is
all
about.
Performances
Performances
of
the
lead
actors
(Boman
Irani,
Arshad
Warsi
and
Saurabh
Shukla)
can
be
described
in
only
two
words
-
Simply
outstanding!
Arshad
has
shown
time
and
again
in
the
past
that
he
can
act
very
well.
This
time,
he
ascertains
himself
as
a
performer
and
proves
that
he
can
do
a
great
job
even
in
handling
dramatic
scenes.
Boman
Irani
once
again
proves
his
credentials
and
that
he
can
carry
a
film
firmly
on
his
shoulders
alone.
Amrita
Rao
has
nothing
much
to
do,
but
still
does
a
decent
job
of
the
role
offered
to
her.
Saurabh
Shukla
is
incredible
and
is
the
show
stealer
in
many
scenes.
All
other
actors,
especially
Manoj
Pahwa,
have
done
a
great
job.
Verdict
Jolly
LLB
is
an
engaging
film
which
brings
a
pertinent
issue
to
the
table
and
tackles
it
with
finesse
and
flair.
Watch
it
to
get
a
glimpse
of
the
'real'
judiciary
system
in
the
country.
It's
a
nice
film!
