The Jolly LLB franchise has built a loyal audience over the years and its third instalment arrived in cinemas on Friday with plenty of anticipation. Starring Akshay Kumar Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla in pivotal roles Jolly LLB 3 opened to a respectable start. While its first-day numbers were slightly lower compared to the second film the latest box office figures suggest that the sequel is quickly picking up momentum.
How did the film perform at the box office?
According to industry tracker Sacnilk Jolly LLB 3 earned Rs 20 crore on its second day a sharp rise from its opening-day figure of Rs 12.75 crore. With this the film’s two-day total stands at Rs 32.75 crore. Interestingly the second-day numbers have already surpassed the day-two earnings of Jolly LLB 2 which had collected Rs 17.31 crore.
If the comedy-drama continues this trend on Sunday the movie is expected to comfortably cross the Rs 50 crore mark by the end of its opening weekend. The positive momentum reflects strong word-of-mouth and an audience keen to revisit the courtroom chaos that the series is known for.
What do occupancy trends reveal?
The Sacnilk report further stated that Jolly LLB 3 recorded an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 23.02% on Saturday. Morning shows saw 13.65% turnout while afternoon screenings climbed to an impressive 32.38%. The upward trend signals a steady rise in demand as audiences head to theatres over the weekend.
About Jolly LLB 3
Written and directed by Subhash Kapoor Jolly LLB 3 is the third installment in the successful legal comedy franchise. For the first time it saw both Jollies- Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi- from parts 1 and 2. The film also stars Huma Qureshi Amrita Rao Gajraj Rao Seema Biswas and Saurabh Shukla reprising his role as judge.
India.com gave the film 4/5 stars. The review reads “Jolly LL.B 3 strikes a fine balance between satire courtroom intensity and emotional storytelling. Anchored by strong performances and a solid supporting cast the film delivers both entertainment and reflection. While it stumbles slightly with a dragging interval block and an unnecessary fight sequence the narrative picks up with smart writing grounded direction and a socially relevant theme.”
What’s next for Jolly LLB 3?
If the film continues its current trajectory it could emerge as one of the stronger performers among recent Bollywood releases. With Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi bringing their contrasting styles into the same courtroom audiences appear to be enjoying the battle of wits as much as the drama itself. All eyes are now on the film’s Sunday collection to see if it maintains its pace and enters the Rs 50 crore club within three days.

Jolly LLB 3 collected Rs 20 crore on day two taking its total to Rs 32.75 crore.
The film outperformed Jolly LLB 2’s second-day earnings.
