Jolly LLB




*ing : Arshad Warsi, Boman Irani, Amrita Rao
Director : Subhash Kapoor


Tagline : We belive in inJustice

This is not the best courtroom movie ever made but will be one of the better ones. The movie does pack a strong satire about the legal system in India. How corrupt the lawyers are. How the rich and powerful go scot free for the lack of evidence, or when they can buy witnesses. The number of pending cases in country is staggering and shocking. The legal system, as one of the song suggests in the film , L lage hue hai.
Many scenes are there just to add some comic relief but my opinion is that they do balance the load of the satire and set the tone for the movie.
The change of character was a bit sudden and could have done with a little depth. The songs and dances were unnecessary.

think Arshad's acting was quite ok but cud hv done better. Boman's acting was above average (but not great) but it was surabh shukla, as a judge who steals the show. The evidence was there. The decisions were made based on evidence, not on emotional speeches. Please keep this in mind and don't get carried away by the speeches. The story is set in very raw tones and inspired by reality.
Some parts of the movie are not convincing but overall, I still liked it enough.
Also, having heard the news that the director of the this movie is set to make next Munnabhai series (I think sanjay dutt has gone to jail and the plan wud b in limbo now) bt I hope he sharpens his skills and not let the fans of munnabhai down.
