The movie Jolly LLB 2 throws light on the cruel reality of the state of justice in the country. It shows that how a common man is sandwiched between a corrupt judicial system and fraud police administration which are governed by money and power. This twisted system hits on the conscience of a seemingly jolly good for nothing lawyer and he tries to swim against the giant waves in search of salvation. A major part of the movie the whole judicial system as a big, dark joke. Sometimes it does that through comical satire and sometimes through a serious situation. The best part of the movie is that it keeps its focus on real issues such as terrorism and corruption. There are many funny scenes at crucial times which allows the audience a space to breathe. At times the movie may seem a bit stretched but overall this Akshay Kumar starred is a win for all situation and a must watch movie.
AKSHAY KUMAR
Without a doubt, Akshay Kumar has added his own swag to the movie. With his powerful performance, the Khiladi of Bollywood sends a strong message against the corrupt system. He has shredded his aura of a “star” in this movie which was essential given the prequel movie rode on actors and not stars. Akshay has done it beautifully and the versatile actor has done full justice to the movie. Instead of daredevil action stunts that we are used to in an Akshay Kumar movie, this time he deals with the bad guys with clever verbals and his intellect.
SAURABH SHUKLA
It will be safe to say that if this man was not the part of Jolly LLB 2, it wouldn’t be the same. Such is the impact of the veteran actor in the movie. It seems that he started right from where he left in the previous movie. He is an absolute delight to watch. His comic scenes keep the audience light-hearted and glued to their seats.
ANNU KAPOOR
Another solid performance from Annu Kapoor. He is the reason who makes Jolly look so good. It is only because of his character of a cunning lawyer that Jolly always had to find unorthodox ways to remain a step ahead of his rival. He can cross any limits to win his case and that includes insulting a judge in the courtroom.
