Shalu’s Review of Jolly LLB
The most disappointing kind of film is one you really want to like – for its earnestness, its noble intentions, its sincere actors – but are not able to. Director Subhash Kapoor’s earlier film Phas Gaye Re Obama was a gem of a satire. Jolly LLB doesn’t even come close to the brilliance of that one.
Struggling lawyer Jagdish Tyagi aka Jolly (Arshad Warsi) moves to Delhi from Meerut for better opportunities but soon realises that things are as bleak as they were back home. Impressed by the high-profile advocate Rajpal (Boman Irani) and desperate to make things happen in his life, he files a PIL that is guaranteed to get him the media spotlight. It starts out as a publicity stunt but slowly turns into a life-changing decision for him. Encouraged by his girlfriend Sandhya (Amrita Rao), Jolly develops a conscience and decides to fight for justice.
A satire has to be genuinely funny to make an impact and that is where Jolly LLB fails. It does have a few moments of brilliance but they are overshadowed by the predictable and mostly boring narrative. Jolly’s change of heart lacks gravitas, the way he keeps getting leads and help is too convenient, and the ease with which good triumphs over evil is just laughable.

Jolly LLB Movie Review by Rajeev Masand
Well-intentioned but inconsistent, ‘Jolly LLB’, directed by Subhash Kapoor, blends elements of a satire, a thriller, and a courtroom procedural in this intriguing story inspired by the events of the Sanjeev Nanda hit-and-run case of 1999. Kapoor makes some relevant points about society’s apathy towards the poor, the loopholes in our judicial system, and the ease with which the rich often manipulate the truth. But he adopts an over-simplistic approach to the material that is often in conflict with this otherwise promising film.
Meerut-bred Jagdish Tyagi, or Jolly (Arshad Warsi), is only seeking some publicity when he stands up against legal heavyweight Tejinder Rajpal (Boman Irani) who is defending the accused. But his conscience is stirred by his fiancee (Amrita Rao), who eggs him on to fight for the truth. Rajpal, whose defense is built around a bunch of lies and a botched-up police investigation, resorts to everything from bribery to physical assault to scare off Jolly from pursuing the case.
Positioned as a David vs Goliath clash, the film benefits from some fiery courtroom exchanges between its two leads and Saurabh Shukla playing the seasoned judge. Director Subhash Kapoor tackles these scenes with just the right balance of humor and histrionics, but gets carried away by his tendency to pack in too much all at once.

Jolly L.L.B. Movie Review by Taran Adarsh
A little over two years after he delivered PHAS GAYE RE OBAMA, a distinctive account highlighting the ramifications of slump and recession, Subhash Kapoor returns with yet another film that highlights a reality. But before I proceed to review the film, I need to clear a misconception. A lot of you may assume that JOLLY LLB is a hardcore comic entertainer [at least I was led to believe that, thanks to its promos and publicity material]. But, in actuality, it’s *not* a comic fare in entirety. It’s a serious fare [with some humor interlaced in its screenplay in the initial half], inspired by a real-life hit and run case that made front-page news.
Come to think of it, very few movies can claim to make you laugh at the right places, yet mirror the realities that plague the nation concurrently. JOLLY LLB walks the thin line wonderfully. The on-screen characters seem straight out of everyday life and if I am not mistaken, this is, perhaps, the first Hindi movie that finds humor within the confines of a courtroom, besides presenting a captivating courtroom drama so effectively.
JOLLY LLB works for yet another reason: It’s a fascinating account of an underdog who locks horns with a much-senior, much-powerful and much-influential lawyer and emerges triumphant, after facing a lot of hardships.

Short Kut – The Con is On Movie Review by Sputnik
Director: Neeraj Vohra
Cast: Akshay Khanna, Arshad Warsi, Amrita Rao, Chunkey Pandey
Short Kut – The Con is On is copied from the Malayalam movie Udayananu Thaaram which itself was copied from the movies Bowfinger and Big Fat Liar and ironically the movie is about plagiarism. Raju (Arshad Warsi), a bad actor makes it big as a superstar after stealing a script from Shekhar (Akshaye Khanna), a struggling assistant director who becomes depressed after this. He gets married to actress Mansi (Amrita Arora) but they get separated because of his ego problems. He finally gets a chance to direct but has to work with Raju who only wants to stall the movie.
The movie is a big torture and has so many characters that one feels claustrophobic while watching the movie. Even the few funny scenes from the previews do not look funny in the movie. The previews advertised it as some comic movie and instead the movie is filled with rona dhona and looks like the makers were trying to con the audience. The movie has all the clichés – the actress’s family who are just interested in her money, the actress who is in love with this poor struggler (they even meet in parks), the ego problems between the husband and the wife ala Abhimaan, the chawl filled with poor people ala Nukkad who are always happy and making fun of each other and ready to contribute lots of money.
