Jolly LLB 2 | Film Review
Subhash Kapoor’s second innings with Jolly LLB 2 is a twisted tale of truth and lies, that makes a strong comment on the Indian Judicial system. The film, a sequel to 2013's surprise hit and National award winning film - Jolly LLB (starring Arshad Warsi), already had the responsibility of living up to the expectations in terms of performances and story. Does the film, especially Akshay Kumar's presence and performance, live upto the expectations? Read on to find out.
The film begins on a light note, where Jagdishwar Mishra (Akshay Kumar) helps the students of a small village in passing an exam, by announcing the answers to the questions through a microphone in exchange of money. Mishra is an innocent man, who dreams of becoming a big lawyer. However, during this journey, his fate takes a different turn. That's when the film changes track, with the courtroom drama taking centre stage.
With some good research, Subhash Kapoor has surely managed to bring out fine detailing in the script, especially with the dialogues, setting and court room proceedings. While the first half helps establish central characters, the story gains excellent pace post interval. The screenplay looks a bit messed up in the first half, as the circumstances seem pretty predictable till intermission (especially if you watch films regularly). Finally, it is the climax that leaves you astonished. Just when you see Mishra losing all hopes, the tables turn and how.
Sourabh Shukla as Justice Sunderlal Tripathi has reprised his role from the first film and has retained his comic timings and punch lines. Anu Kapoor as Advocate Pramod Mathur has also given a tough fight in the battle of justice as the defence lawyer. Huma Qureshi, who plays Akshay’s wife - Pushpa Pandey, loves her 'English' liquor and dreams about Gucci outfits. She eats while Jolly cooks, just like a doting husband, thus painting a happy family picture in the film. However, it is Akshay Kumar who performed exceedingly well as Jagdishwar Mishra aka Jolly. He leads the film in its light and serious moments brilliantly. Overall, Jolly LLB 2 makes for a good watch, especially with it's presentation and exceptional performances.
Verdict: Watch it! Akshay Kumar's refreshingly different act and the intriguing case will definitely keep you hooked on to this courtroom drama. ✮✮✮1/2

1. Shahid Kapoor at a promotional event for R... Rajkumar
We spotted the same shirt at the Palladium store, but the redherringbone piece was out of stock. So, we opted to capture the greentartan piece instead. Wear it as a shirt or pair it up with a tee to keep you warm, this one is a keeper.

2. Genelia Deshmukh at a brand promotional event
The blue Marie stretch dress makes for a beautiful and comfortable piece of apparel, which can be paired up with brown or nude heels and a chunky piece of watch. We like the way Genelia Deshmukh has kept it simple, when she wore this dress at a promotional event recently. Wear it with your big and bold sunnies for an afternoon brunch with girls or pair it up with a statement necklace for a formal party.
We spotted the Marie Stretch dress in blue at the Palladium store. If you are not too fond of blue, the same dress is available in black as well.

3. Ranbir Kapoor in the Oreo ad
Saw the new Oreo advertisement with Ranbir Kapoor as the brand ambassador? Yeah, alright! While most of you were busy checking out expressions as he dunked that biscuit in a playful mood, I spotted the lemon curry FCUK Hardware T - shirt on him. I like how the stylist has paired up a blue shirt with a Casio G - shock inspired watch, to give Ranbir a relaxed and casual look.
We spotted the same tee at the store and the same is also available in a dark purple hue, for those who don't usually opt for brighter shades.

4. Huma Qureshi at a promotional event
The Gangs of Wasseypur actress stepped out in a blue Vienna lacy jersey dress at an event, where she launched the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2. Although she looked radiant, we wish she could have opted for a better pair of shoes, make up and a much better hair do. Nevertheless, this fitted jersey dress has a cute flare skirt which adds a girly charm, with an interesting lace paneling at the sides. Wear it for a night out with friends and this dress won't disappoint.
We spotted the same dress in the Cherry tonic shade at the store.
