Review of Jolly LLB 2

Jolly LLB 2 (2017)
7/10
A movie that fits perfectly into the jurisdiction of the audience. Well written with decent performances.

Last year, people like me had to encounter crappy sequels coming from their successful predecessors such as Rock On 2, Kahaani 2, and Force 2. Is this movie going to fit in my top 10 worst movie list of 2017, lets find out.

So a high qualified lawyer's 15th assistant hails from Kanpur to Lucknow and is currently learning Law. His attorney skills results in multiple mishaps such as losing the case and leading to corruption as a result. What Jolly does to prove his stature is basically what this movie is about. Quite frankly, based on the cringe worthy trailer, I was quite disappointed thinking that probably this movie is just not ready. But it is a great film based on the writing and acting.

The acting was great throughout. Akshay Kumar gives an energetic performance and he started and ended well in this film. Surprisingly over the last few years since Airlift, he has been making great films and deviating from that Rowdy Rathore and Boss zone. When I meant since airlift, housefull 3 doesn't count.

Saurabh Shukla was also great in his respective role. He is definitely one of those people who are comedy oriented.

Huma Qureshi was okay during 1st half. Her stature doesn't suit comedy movies to be honest. She should stick to gang wars and thrillers just like the phenomenal performances she gave in Gangs of Wasseypur and Badlapur.

Anu Kapoor was good but he screams not whenever you see him on TV or movies in general.

Saying Gupta and Kumud Mishra were also decent in their parts.

Subhash Kapoor's writing was very consistent. The movie has great moral messages and he managed to present the judicial law system of Lucknow very well. The dialogues were also great but Hq's dialogues were bit out of place and very unrealistic.

The cinematography and direction was a bit too vintage and I could say that some of the angles were sloppy and a bit too incoherent in parts mostly after post interval. Lucknow's resonance looked to shabby and less crisped.

Overall, this movie is undoubtedly the best sequels of 2017 so far and it did surprise me to a whole different. Jolly LLB 2 is definitely a cinema ticket spent movie. Even lawyers with poor qualifications should see this movie to understand the consequences to have bad results as an attorney.

Next sequel (not really but in the same franchise with the same actors), Badrinath Ki Dulhania. This mediocre trailer better change something as well as the music.
