While these moments of elevated emotions seem a little formulaic, they also make the movie highly emotional. Jolly LLB 2 makes some sweeping statements about the limitations of law and its grey areas. But his choice of themes, the deep patriotic ones especially, become a little too preachy towards the climax. It follows the Jolly LLB formula and yet adds a lot more twists and turns to the narrative. Also part of the court room drama is the franchise's ace judge Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla). But Jolly refuses to give up against the power of influential senior lawyer Pramod Mathur (Annu Kapoor) and his corrupt client, police officer Singh (Kumud Mishra). In his pursuit for justice and truth, he’s shot at, ridiculed and humiliated. But his wily ways end up hurting innocent lives and that’s when Jolly goes from a conniving Uttar Pradesh guy to crusader of justice.

Much like Arshad Warsi's Jolly from the first film, Akshay Kumar's Jolly is a guy desperate for professional acclaim. He starts off as an opportunist who doesn’t mind breaking the law to earn an extra buck. It is the fine display of histrionics by all these refined actors, which makes the movie, worth seeing.Akshay Kumar plays a wily lawyer named Jagdishwar Mishra aka Jolly. Huma and Annu are also compelling enough. In top-form, he puts up a perfect display of a street-smart lawyer who hasn’t read legal tomes but who has instead picked up tips from courtroom corridors to become Jolly LLB.
Akshay changes shades from crooked to straight, like a chameleon. But there are portions that seem contrived. Their weighty arguments do educate and entertain to some degree. The maker tries to pack in too much legal diatribe between Jolly and his adversary, the topnotch, Pramod Mathur(Annu Kapoor), in Judge Tripathy’s (Saurabh Shukla, delightful as always) Lucknow courtroom. Post interval though, the film hits a pause button at times. The film also provides the right dose of action inside and outside the courtroom.
The plot has enough laugh-out-loud situations and emotional outbursts to keep you invested especially in the razor-sharp first half. While the last instalment dealt with a hit-n-run case, this one deals with the case of mistaken identity of a J & K terrorist.
#Jolly llb 2 movie time code#
Writer-director Subhash Kapoor who has studied India’s burgeoning legal system of `I-will-see-you-in-court’, definitely knows as much about the Indian Penal Code as most legal sharks because of his deep study of the subject. Overlook some of the minor flaws and you have a 140-minute solid entertainer on your hands. However it was interesting to see a few very good theatre artists of Delhi giving impressive. He makes you remember Warsi, but also adds his touch to Jolly. Huma or no Huma does not make any difference to the film. And Akshay Kumar ensures that you keep laughing at regular intervals. Overemphasis on melodrama also hampers a well though-out central idea.
Here, Annu Kapoor gives Akshay Kumar a solid run for his money. It’s only in the second half that Jolly LLB 2 comes back to a prolonged courtroom battle and gives its actors a chance to rise and shine. This way the pace is maintained, but the theme is ignored. The most effective scenes are cut short to pave way for action scenes. Also, the movie appears confused between a satire and a thriller. It starts to appear like a mix of many films. This is where the screenplay decides to do away with the fantastic research done by the film’s team. We somehow know that there’s no escaping the wrath of poor judges and a broken system. Mostly the joke is on Jolly, and sometimes it’s on us. Large chunks of the film remind the viewer of those legal satire shows where the judicial system looks like a big, dark joke.
