Jolly LLB 2 fictionalizes police corruption and the toll it can take on the public. In the second go-around, Akshay delivers a touch of newfound confidence to a character that otherwise would’ve just been a good-natured guy waiting endlessly for justice. Jolly is a fun character, an unassuming lawyer who’s always surprising detractors in his quest for fair play. While the first Jolly LLB (2014) made audiences fall off their seats in laughter, the second one may have even added more charm to the legal comedy franchise by bringing Akshay Kumar over Arshad Warsi in the title role. And it’s done with such artfulness that four controversial scenes had to be cut. The film unspools with fine direction, tons of slapstick, and bright storytelling. It’s an action-packed laugh-riot about the sheer absurdities and criminalities concerning the state of law in India and how those with murky connections try to pull off a big deal or two. Thankfully, we have a sequel once again poking fun at the legal system.Īs a second installment, Jolly LLB 2 holds up well. And resolving conflict through an archaic set of laws can do a lot more damage than just grey the hair of both innocents and commoners. Rather, legal procedures are slow to resolve matters. This has got nothing to do with lawyers being devilish or the world’s largest democracy being engulfed in crime all the time.
