Absolutely the worst movie.
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The plight of the poor and also of the Indian Judicial System is well encapsulated in a courtroom drama. Wish, it was less of uncalled embellishments and more of worthy content.Sure, this film has a heart in the right place, yet it misses the right beats. The urge for the subject was more than what was shown. Songs and dances, were just placed to provide disgust instead of respite. Who would like a breather in a tense drama, as an aficionado, one would love to delve more into the pulsating drama that raises the pitch. But, instead it comes with pusillanimous acts of the romance between our protagonist Jolly and his so-shown lover Sandhya (played by Amrita Rao). After looking at Amrita Rao for a few scenes, I realized, why is she still struggling to be mainstream actress, coz she cannot act fluently. She is not as fluid in front of the camera as her counterparts or even as fluid as youngsters, who are more assiduous than her, sure her acting did show up how lethargic she was in her preparation. Having said that, Jolly (Arshad Warsi) and Rajpal (Boman Irani) have fought well a case to outsmart each other not just for the case, but for their acting prowess which we have been acquainted well with in the recent times. But, amidst all these was a gem called Saurabh Shukla who brought to life, every scene, Even a mundane lunch scene of the judge having his lunch was delicious by the burps of this good actor. He made his presence of screen so very infectious that it was very hard for me not to fall for the laughs he generated even being extremely serious.There is one good rule for making a good drama and that is stick to the point, stick to subject and the protagonist and that will surely come a winner. Look at a movie called "A Wednesday" or even "Udaan" which were devoid of a heroine per-say and all those song dance sequences which for a good amount of time, have ruined the subjects, just by coming on screen when absolutely unnecessary. The director Subhash Kapoor does repeat this grave mistake and that's one of the prime reason for me not liking it much. This is not a film that has extremely great production values where in each scene or frame is superb. This is a very mediocre budget film that has its own trappings and was given a limited release considering the worries of the distributors, who have their own apprehensions. In this case, I am upset even about the editor who should have reprimanded the director about the unnecessary flings but the editor did not do so. The things that are not in favor, have been told, now what works for this film is a realistic setup that is believable and the three principal performances. The dialogues for good part are memorable, referenced to the plight of our system and the poverty stricken, under-privileged people. I would give a 3/5 for a movie that is watchable but having said that, my crib is it could have been so better had it struck to the point instead of digressing to make this a popcorn flick.
I knew about Jolly LLB, but it didn't appeal to me to watch it until I saw it was winning 'Best Story' awards at the Indian film award ceremonies, and I must admit I was very pleasantly surprised how good the film was. Jolly LLB does not ride on star power,or chart topping music, but more so a simple but effective script with solid acting from the main star cast. Arshad Warsi is obviously known for his comic timing, and it was on full view once again. It is great how he manages the comedy and the serious roll so effectively. Boman Irani is such a fine actor, and reminds me of the current day Anupam Kher with the versatility he offers a Director. He plays his roll with supreme ease, showing off his vast ray of acting talent. I absolutely loved Amrita Rao in her short but powerful role. She is such an underrated actress, and seems like she won't be ever considered as a main stream heroine, but performances like these will certainly do a great deal of good of good for her. The music of the film is nothing to write home about - it's pretty average, but the film doesn't need good music as it relies purely on the solid script. Overall I really enjoyed Jolly LLB and recommend it to anyone who isn't after a 'masala' film.
We all know how corrupted the system in India is, and this movie definitely reassures us.I say that every officer should watch this film only so that they realise the consequences of their action and how innocent people's lives can be ruined because of their actions!! Overall the film was pretty good, normally the court is just one part of a Hindi movie, but not this movie...and that's what I like about it.Would definitely recommend itPS. Why on earth was Amrita Rao in this movie? Was it really necessary to have her? Arshad Was brilliant by the way!! His acting was really good and definitely needs to do more of these kind of roles
One of the best films I've seen in a very long time. The movie grabs you from the first intense car chase scene and never let's you go. The movie is full of realism drama. The performance were great. The movie get's you involved, It's gets you to think. Revolves around the biggest problems of our nation- "Justice". Brilliant Storytelling, Investing Characters, Great Dialogues. It delivers everything that an audience expects. Some performances deserve a filmfare. Thanks to Subhash Kapoor's directing that he delivers one of the best films of the year or maybe all time. Quite shocking that the government didn't cut out few scenes. I guess in a way the government is accepting that these practices do involve in our society. Overall Jolly L.L.B. deserves 8/10.
