Jolly LLB 2 is a highly entertaining film that also succeeds in delivering some food for thought in a most unsuspecting manner. The film takes swipes at the judiciary, highlights its complexities and flaws, but ultimately reinstates faith in the judicial system. For a courtroom comedy-drama the film has surprisingly high levels of action and suspense. Jolly LLB 2 is a very well made film but it pales in comparison to Jolly LLB. However, Jolly LLB 2 has something for everyone. It's certainly a must watch if you are an Akshay Kumar fan. As for others, you wouldn't be disappointed if you do choose to watch it but don't go expecting another Jolly LLB.

Akshay Kumar takes a cue from the original Jolly, Arshad Warsi, and adds his own touch to it.

If you loved Jolly LLB 1, you may hate Jolly LLB 2!
I was thinking of going to see Jolly LLB 2 - but plan cancelled. Kyon?
Because this is a masala, melodramatic version of Jolly LLB 1 which I just loved for Subash Kapoor's matured, realistic and non-melodramatic presentation of the story.
But for some strange reason he decided to present the LLB 2 in a totally loud, melodramatic style. This film has things which I just Hate!
1. I hate unnecessary songs (which is very common in most Indian films)!
2. I hate melodrama and over-acting!
3. I hate "forced" comedies!
4. I hate "diversions" in a film which has no connection with the main theme!
5. I hate "over-stretched" things in a film.
6. I hate "unconvincing" climaxes (which is also very common in Indian films!
7. I hate these "end credit songs" (absolutely stupid idea)!
Jolly LLB 1, in contrast, is a much matured film made in a realistic manner. Humour is situational and "goes with the flow" - and not forced as in LLB2. Arshad Warsi is a much better actor Akhsay. Jolly LLB 1 is worth seeing a 2nd time (which I've done). But the same cannot be said of LLB 2.
In the past, I'd wasted my time and money watching cheap films (Veer, Independence Day 2, Rowdy Rathore, Housefull, Dishoom, Befikre) in cinema halls, without first reading the reviews.
I will not make the same mistake with LLB 2. No way!
PS: A reviewer here said: "I'm going with 8/10* stars and giving it a "CLASSIC" Verdict. " This is the reaction of an immature person who does not know what to call Classic and what not to call. Pathetic!

Let The Underdog Win!
A Sequel to the delightful Jolly LLB, 'Jolly LLB 2' is an engaging & engrossing courtroom drama, that despite having an all new leading man, works well. Writer-Director Subhash Kapoor delivers yet again & Akshay Kumar emerges a winner as Jolly.
'Jolly LLB 2' Synopsis: Jolly, a clumsy lawyer, is faced with representing the most critical court case of his career, after a helpless women commits suicide.
'Jolly LLB 2' is much-like its super-successful, national-award-winning previous installment - humorous, hard-hitting & entertaining. The Writing is tight this time too. Kapoor keeps the narrative crisp & its protagonist's journey from an underdog to a righteous lawyer, is indeed engaging. While the first-hour is a bit slow & takes time to come to its point, its the second-hour take completely arrests you. Watching Jolly defend the deceased victim & her murdered husband, is absorbing. It also helps that Kapoor keeps the goings-on light-hearted, despite some hard-hitting punches. Kapoor's Direction is truly well-done! After Jolly LLB, 'Jolly LLB 2' is a yet another winner from Kapoor!
'Jolly LLB 2' would've been a lesser film, had it not been for the correct casting. Akshay Kumar, who replaces the terrific Arshad Warsi here to portray Jolly, is in top-form! His body-language is marvelous & the way he gets into the skin of the character, is very note-worthy. But the show-stealer is Saurabh Shukla. Reprising his role as the comical judge (which earned the screen icon a National-Award for his previous portrayal),is simply stunning. Right from hIs dialogue delivery, to his love for Alia Bhatt & dancing to her hit song Gulaabo, is hilarious to the core. Shukla dominates the second-hour & takes 'Jolly LLB 2' to another level. Its a stupendous performance, that deserves to be seen. Annu Kapoor is fantastic as the opposing lawyer. The veteran doesn't miss a beat & challenges Akshay at every step. Kumud Mishra is good, as always. Huma Qureshi is decent, but she doesn't get much scope to leave a mark. Sayani Gupta is remarkable in her portrayal of a helpless woman. Manav Kaul is fair. Brijendra Kala shines. Others lend good support.
On the whole, 'Jolly LLB 2' is a winner, as it engages you almost throughout. Definitely, worth a watch!
