Jolly LLB Review
Young lawyer Jagdish Tyagi AKA Jolly is frustrated with his legal career going nowhere. He leaves Meerut and moves to Delhi in search of thriving opportunities and convert himself a supreme lawyer. Easy popularity comes knocking on his door when he tries to en-cash some residual fame off a Land Cruiser hit-and-run case by filing a PIL.
Fighting against the very best lawyer Rajpal(Boman Irani), who easily scores over Jolly by virtue of his obvious position, stature he has attained in his profession and experience, this fight isn’t an easy one for Jolly.
Jolly suddenly finds himself down from every side with manipulations and threats coming his way. Truth demands strength! So can Jolly uncover the intricacies of the case, and fight the likes of such powerful men? What unfolds is a fascinating legal drama, harsh face offs and a strong ending.
Do you wonder what Amrita Rao is doing in this story? well we feel as she grows older by her age she is loosing good roles in industry. Amrita plays girl friend of Jolly. Their love story starts from Meerut where she is Jolly’s girl friend who is confident that Jolly will success in his mission to Delhi. Through out the movie she supports Jolly in his journey towards a successful Lawyer.
It is a sheer delight to watch Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi against each other. They simply carry forward the film, most effortlessly. Arshad exhibits many shades of humor, nervousness as well as confidence and frustration immensely well
Boman Irani will somehow manage to strike you more. He is classily manipulative, shows arrogance in the most stellar way and even when his character is most shaky given the circumstances, this man brings alive on screen most flawlessly the psyche of a towering legal giant.
The judge who-knows-it-all, Saurabh Shukla plays his part naturally, with so much ease. It is the perfect choice of actors, which makes this film strong!
Best Scene from the Movie-
Police constable auctions postings. Where SHO posting is auctioned by a constable in front of all candidates.
Had always liked Mr.Shukla from the days of Kallu mama, liked Warsi from the days of Tere Mere Sapne in 96, and liked mr. Irani from the days of FANTA add. It was indeed a dream cast for me and none the less, the story and execution of movie is marvelous, songs could have been avoided though.
ReplyDeleteMr Shukla is a genius ...don't think anyone else could have done better than him.
ReplyDeleteOn the songs you are bang on!
