JOLLY
LLB 2 is a satirical courtroom drama that comments on the legal system
as a whole and the effect that the judicial system has on the common
man. The film starts off with the ‘two-wheeler’ entry of Jagadishwar
Mishra aka ‘Jolly’, the very man who becomes instrumental in the
mass-copying of the school children’s English exams. So much confidence
Jolly has in his English, that he claims that even ‘Obama’s mother
cannot fail any student’ this time. Amidst all this, Jolly, who works as
an assistant to the extremely renowned lawyer Rizvi saab, keeps on
dreaming about breaking free from the ‘clutches’ of his boss and go
independent. In an attempt to realise his dream, Jolly lands up cheating
a helpless and pregnant Hina Siddiqui (Sayani Gupta), whose husband was
killed in a fake encounter. When Hina realizes that she had got cheated
by Jolly, she commits suicide. The news of Hina’s suicide disturbs
Jolly immensely that he starts getting nigtmares about her. As
repentance, Jolly decides to take up the case for which Hina had given
up her life. No sooner Jolly decides to take up the case, he is faced
with strong opposition in the form of the superlatively experienced and
‘street smart’ Pramod Mathur (Annu Kapoor), who represents the case on
behalf of his client, the accused Inspector Suryaveer Singh (Kumud
Mishra). The man in charge of delivering the judgment is the
Bollywood-loving Justice Sunderlal Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla), who,
despite his frail heart condition, is torn between his duties as a judge
and as a father of a to-be-married daughter. When the world turns
totally against Jolly, the one person who stands by him is his wife
Pushpa Pandey (Huma Qureshi). Will the rock solid support from his wife
help Jolly win the case against the humongous system which relies on
power and politics, does Jolly single handedly manage to win the case of
the late Hina Siddiqui and deliver justice to her family or does Jolly
succumb to the hands of the big daddies, is what forms the rest of the
film. - See more at:

Jagdishwar
Mishra aka Jolly (Akshay Kumar) is a struggling lawyer who makes his
living assisting a big time Lucknow lawyer and also by taking up small
cases individually.
His wife, Pushpa (Huma Qureshi) on the other hand, enjoys her drink but is immesely supportive of her husband.
After
accidentally messing up with Hina’s (Sayani Gupta) case, Jolly’s
conscience takes a beating and he decides to bring her justice.
He
is set to fight against established lawyer, Mathur (Annu Kapoor) while
Sundar Lal Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla) is the judge in charge.
A complicated case that revolves around terrorism, corruption and fake encounters becomes a tough affair for Jolly.
Subhash Kapoor had taken us by surprise with Jolly LLB. While the first film got immense appreciation, the expectations from this one were sky high.
The
sequel promises to be fun affair that gets serious at the right
junctures. Dealing with a plot that revolves around terrorism and
corruption, there is much fodder for the makers to latch on to for
entertainment.
Dialogues are quirky and towards the second half, they even become emotionally hard hitting.
Courtroom
scenes are well written, except I found, the whole Manish Malhotra
lehenga for the judges daughter part slightly unnecessary.
Also,
the transition from Jolly’s small time cases to handling a biggie here
is not shown in details. His preparation is kept aside, we seem him
romancing to Baawra Mann instead.
The portrayal of Indian judiciary and mainly how things progress in lower courts is quite rightly done here.
Kapoor’s sharp dialogue towards the end on the statistics of pending cases and lawyers in India is appalling.
Kapoor once again succeeds in making a film that hits the right notes with a mix of light moments and hard hitting realism.
Jolly LLB 2 is entertaining as well as hard hitting. Saurabh Shukla is a stunner while Akshay is once again at his best.
Rating - 4/5
