Jolly L.L.B
wogma rating: Add to that never-watched 'To Watch' list (?)
Jolly LLB is sincere in intent and has perfect lead performances. But unfortunately, it isn't able to create a crisp environment. Perfect actors can't make lame defence & prosecutors into a good courtroom drama
Read more
The mindset is such that you hear of the Boman Irani-Arshad Warsi combination and you expect a "laugh out loud" comedy. It doesn't help that the trailer points you in that direction too. It pleasantly surprises you, by starting off as satire, quirks and all. Then it takes a serious route, and even so, you are willing to play along because Jolly LLB seems like its trying to make an important point. Unfortunately at the end though, it is pretty disappointing.
The disappointment is not as much because of the decision taken by the court, but due to lame defence (Boman Irani) and prosecution (Arshad Warsi). They seem rather clueless and caught unawares all the time. Sure, some benefit of doubt can be given under the name of character consistency. After all, the defence is callous, over-confident, arrogant and thus complacent. The prosecution is amateur and confused about his moral stand. It is also possible that we have been spoilt by smart-Alec lawyers in our filmy courtrooms and real life lawyers are not really always on their toes. But, after this leeway too, the stage doesn't look convincing enough.
If real-life is what we are aiming for, some things work out way too easily. Like a bribe drops down from 5 lakhs to 1 lakh without much back and forth. Or evidence is pointed towards, out of the blue. So on and so forth. And I sincerely hope lawyers and judges don't have shouting matches in real-world courtrooms.
This overall inconsistency and ultimately flat drama pulls Jolly LLB down and takes a lot away from the satire it started out as. The pull towards gravity though meets constant resistance from the cast. How wonderfully subtle and underplayed both Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi can be when allowed to. No, over-the-top histrionics, characters played out as haughty and simple-minded respectively. Saurabh Shukla too gets a role weighty enough to play around with. While a caricature, his act as the twisted-but-straight-but-twisted judge is something you won't forget easily. His maneuvers over the defence are by themselves worth a watch - thorough 'babu' style.
All of this with no help from the dialogue. A mockery of dialogue within the film by calling lines 'filmy', doesn't make it any less filmy. It makes the lines neither filmy enough to applaud nor real enough to be believable.
Further distraction is caused by songs that don't belong. And why is this 'promotion' song during end credits becoming a norm?
Jolly LLB feels like it was undecided between satire and drama. It looked like the heart was in the drama, but a few satirical moments came by and went through in the film. That didn't make the satire bad, it just made the film uneven and took the focus away from the story - which in itself was wrapped in drama that was neither dramatic nor real enough.

SherTheBaloch: 3G + Jolly L.L.B and Mere dad ki maruti...one time watch movie bt 3G kinda better
SandipGhose: .#JollyLLB a very average movie but resonates with the current national mood of a common-man (Aam-Aadmi) taking on the rich and the corrupt.
RrMahanta: Jolly Llb good comedy but not in directio
rohitsatiani: #JollyLLB found it intresting.Felt first half was okayish.Basically the fun starts after the interval.Spectacular performance by@bomanirani
Rida__: i just watched jolly LLB in theatres. Haha. It was okay.
PrahniikaB: Sometimes all a hackneyed idea needs is great deliverance. Jolly LLB.
p2kpradeep: "Jolly LLB" was just okay. Though it is filed under "comedy" the humor quotient was negligible. Amritha Rao failed... http://www.facebook.com/p2kpradeep/posts/10200842720689515
manju34: Don't know what's the fuss about the movie jolly llb. It was an ok movie. Nothing great
MalvikaChandan: Jolly LLB: stereotypes and cliches flock the film but endearing acting, like way Arshad Warsi refers to Saurabh Shukla as janab make it fun.
liLMiss_hAtke: Just saw #JollyLLB.Nothing great about this movie but made me think how justice in India is in shambles & police can be bought so easily.
Joojhaaru: Jolly LLB, for me, is the benchmark for average movies. Na acchi, na buri.
itsmepiyush: After a boring first half.. #JollyLLB had a better 2nd half but a predictable storyline.. #Boman Irani.. Again a very nice performance...
followabhi: Wud give Jolly LLB "***" 4 raising such topic ver our ntire judiciary system is made fun by few Lawyers however cud hve been edited well!!
codelust: If anybody should get seriously pissed off by Jolly LLB, it would be the Delhi Police. Movie itself is pretty average, post interval.
bollywood_metro: #Bollywood Metro: 'Jolly LLB' good in parts, but doesn't exceed expectations (Music Review) http://bollywoodmetro.com/music/jolly-llb-good-in-parts-but-doesnt-exceed-expectations-music-review/ #ArshadWarsi
biswaraj007: #JOLLYLLB FUNNFILLED,SATIRICAL(SO bit of impractical)kinda emotion driven movie,film catches 4m last 2 mins of 1st half. my rating-2.5/5
bhaskar_72: Jolly LLB. cant say must watch, can't say avoid. Go for it if you like a light non-preachy movie, with a hint of a soul.
bdevang: #JollyLLB is strictly a decent movie. its neither that funny nor hard hitting with lawyers facts. could have been better. very slow as well!
Bawli_Booch: Saare Jahaan Se Mehngaa - Above 3 on 5 Jolly Llb - Less than 3 on 5 Mere Dad Ki Maruti - 3 on 5

apurvatank: Jolly good film but not worth the hype...go watch it only for surabh shukla...or watch insaf ka tarazu, waqt, meri jung,Damini#JollyLLB
adiramac: Watched Jolly LLB. NOT a comedy at all. But I was not really that disappointed by the end of the film. Could have been better, but good.
adhar86: #jollyllb enjoyable movie but very shallow and poor story
_Namita_: Jolly LLB. Hmmmm... John Grishamish much..overall ok.. if you overlook Arshad Warsi & Amrita Arora breaking out into dance sans warning :D
wistleinswallow: #JollyLLB - A sad #mockery of #Indian #Judicial system. Although it states fact but not intriguing enough to hold on to the viewers through

pinki_pune: Gr8 delivery by arshad and boman but a pathetically loose script. Confused abt my feeling!! mmmm...Nah #jollyllb
OmniComment: #JollyLLB = let down, shallow. But does raise a few q's. Where is the line b/w FOE & contempt re: judiciary bashing (even if fictional)?
NoorUbs14: Jolly LLB could have been better!!!
Nikhil_Rams: Saw both Jolly LLB and Mere Dad Ki Maruti over the weekend. Personally preferred #MDKM anyday over #JollyLLB. Much more enjoyable & shorter.
Namrata_Thakker: Jolly LLB could have been better!
MihirBijur: Watched Jolly LLB last night. Quite over-rated. Apart from a few comic punches from Arshad & Boman's acting, the rest disappoints.

@Meetu : 2 questions,what are your ratings for the 2 Munnabhai films?
Does J-llb have more in common to Munnabhai MBBS than just its name?
Hey Anuj, I don't see anything in common with the Munnabhai series, except for the cast. I loved both the Munnabhai films, Lage Raho more than MBBS. In fact, Lage Raho Munnabhai was the first movie reviewed on wogma :D
I asked 'coz i heard that the director of J.LLB is gonna be directing the 3rd Munnabhai film....dunno what happens to that now after the court verdict on Sanjay Dutt though!
@Anuj yes, I know. I think the Munnabhai series is a lot about the writing. I'm 50-50 about the next episode going to another director.
