The film also marks the return of actor Saurabh Shukla as the hilariously endearing Judge Sunder Lal Tripathi. Actors Huma Qureshi and Amrita Rao will reprise their roles as Pushpa Pandey and Sandhya, respectively.
Much before its release, the film was in controversy for allegedly mocking the judiciary, especially through its promotional content and the song “Bhai Vakeel Hai.” However, the Bombay and Allahabad High Courts dismissed the pleas, with the judges remarking that satire does not weaken the judiciary.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cleared the film with a U/A certificate and a “16+ advisory,” after minor edits.
The film will have nearly 8000 shows across India. The advance bookings for the film began on September 15 and has shown strong traction with a collection of nearly Rs 5 crore (including blocked seats). The film’s ticket price between Rs 130 to Rs 1500.
Both Jolly LLB and Jolly LLB 2 were commercial success. Experts believe the third installment of the film will open between Rs 3 to Rs 5 crore with its first day box office collection strongly depending on the initial reviews and word-of-mouth.

X page @TradeBOC posted, "Jolly LLB 3 (2025) Review – Courtroom Chaos That Fails to Deliver. #jollyllb3 had everything going for it on paper — #akshaykumar and #arshadwarsi clashing as rival Jollies, #subhashkapoor returning as director, and #saurabhshukla back on the bench. With a socially relevant story about farmers losing land to industrial greed, the film could have been powerful and important. Instead, what unfolds is a bloated, confused, and ultimately exhausting courtroom drama that fizzles out long before the final verdict. The core theme deserves attention, but the script constantly loses focus. Pointless subplots dilute whatever momentum it builds. Instead of sharp satire, the screenplay meanders — what should have been a legal tightrope walk turns into an overcooked, melodramatic slog. By the time the big climax arrives, it’s too little, too late."
Trade site Sacnilk.com shared that by 11 am, Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi's film Jolly LLB 3 earned around Rs 0.81 Cr India net. The film is expected to perform well on its first day at the box office.
Sacnilk.com shared that Aamir Khan's film Sitaare Zameen Par had collected Rs 10.70 crores net on its opening day with Rs 3.31 crores gross in advance sales on around 3300 screens. Jolly LLB 3 is reportedly releasing in around 3500 screens, and with minimal competition from Bollywood films, and thus it is expected to fare better than Aamir's film. The pre-sales of Jolly LLB 3 was likely around the Aamir Khan-starrer, and thus opening collection of Akshay's film can be in the range of Rs 11-12 crores net.
Indian Express' film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi film 2 stars and wrote in her Jolly LLB 3 movie review, "Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi combine forces to deliver weakest film of franchise. The film has a surprisingly strong anti-establishment streak, reminding you of the kind of thing that Hindi mainstream cinema would routinely do back in the day."
Early trends suggest that Jolly LLB 3 is poised to score Akshay Kumar one of his better openings in recent times. A double-digit debut looks assured, with the possibility of scaling higher depending on spot bookings and word of mouth, as shared by Sacnilk.com. The weekend collections could see a healthy surge, setting the stage for another successful outing for the popular legal comedy franchise.
A fan posted on X, "No hate towards #akshaykumar. But post pandemic, Akshay Kumar's films haven't opened well but will Jolly LLB 3 doing anything better? seems to be same path. Here is opening day collection of his previous films. #selfiee 2.55cr, #bellbottom 2.75cr, #missionraniganj 2.8cr, #khelkhelmein 5.23cr, #kesarichapter2 7.85cr. Is this also reason for low showcounts on day 1??"
Trade site Sacnilk posted on X, "#jollyllb3 takes a good start, and with positive reviews pouring in, expect a solid jump towards the evening and night shows." It also added, "The film's advance booking has progressed slowly but with a steady pace, as it has so far collected around Rs 2.15 crores gross (without block seats) for the opening day. With the last few hours left for the release, the momentum in the sales is picking up, and it is expected to surpass or come near the advance of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 3.31 crores for Day 1)."
@AlwaysBollywood posted Jolly LLB 3 Review on X that reads, "#jollyllb3 reminds us that movies can be socially responsible while still being enjoyable with the package of entertainment substance ... The courtroom setting becomes a stage not just for legal battles but also for humor, heart & hard-hitting truths...The clash between Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi makes the narrative engaging, with witty dialogues and emotional depth."
A fan @Finnajith posted Jolly LLB 3 Movie Review on X that read, "#jollyllb3 is awesome entertainment movie from start to finish, it’s full of laughter, thoughtful social message and great courtroom drama Love classic Akshay Kumar , Arshad Warsi and all actors The family audience will enjoy . That's the review and blockbust."
X user @bolly_talkies posted Jolly LLB 3 Review that read, "Director Subhash Kapoor takes the word “franchise” very seriously! The third instalment of Subhash Kapoor’s courtroom dramedy #jollyllb3 takes on an ambitious premise, pitting #akshaykumar’s Jolly No2 against #arshadwarsi’s original Jolly. What could have been a gimmick actually becomes the film’s strongest hook. Their face-off between Kanpur and Meerut wale Jolly gives the narrative spark, humour, and nostalgia in equal measure. The film makes every second feel worthwhile, especially the courtroom scenes - full wit, quick exchanges, and clever satire. The humour lands, but what works even better is the way the script sneaks in commentary on farmers’ rights, land disputes, and the common man’s struggle against power."

X user shared Jolly LLB 3 Review which read,"#jollyllb3 brings a sensational courtroom drama for audiences with a lots of entertainment. That #akshaykumar's speech in the ending will force you to clap His comic timing gives vibes of "Sunny" #arshadwarsi has done well and you'll see a new avatar of #saurabhshukla. #gajrajrao makes a fantastic villain. The biggest strength of the film is its writing and then the finale takes it a notch higher. Overall, a Solid Watch!"

X @YourNaman called Akshay Kumar's film Impactful and wrote, "#jollyllb3 is a cinematic gem – a blend of wit, irony, heartfelt drama, and a resonant message that lingers. This #jollyvsjolly showdown is an absolute delight! #jollyllb3review Director #subhashkapoor masters the franchise’s essence, weaving sharp satire with emotional depth. The courtroom battles are nothing short of riveting. The script is crisp, with no room for fluff – every scene packs a punch. The dialogues? Razor-sharp, hilarious, and thought-provoking, making you laugh, applaud, and reflect. The climactic courtroom sequence is a show-stealer, earning every bit of applause. Any flaws? A couple of moments feel slightly stretched, but they barely dent the experience. #akshaykumar shines brilliantly, balancing humor and heart with ease – you can’t help but cheer for him. #arshadwarsi is phenomenal, matching Akshay’s energy, especially in the comedic exchanges. His courtroom moments are a highlight. #saurabhshukla delivers a stellar performance, his witty lines and nuanced expressions anchoring the story. #gajrajrao impresses, #ramkapoor is top-notch, and #seemabiswas leaves a mark, particularly in the film’s final act. #humaqureshi and #amritarao, however, get limited screen time to shine. Verdict? #jollyllb3 is a captivating mix of entertainment and social commentary – a must-see!"
