The much-anticipated courtroom drama Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, finally hit theaters on September 19, 2025, and the initial reactions suggest the film has struck the right chord with audiences. Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has been buzzing since morning with enthusiastic reviews from moviegoers who were quick to call it a powerful entertainer.
One user described the film as a “masterpiece,” praising Akshay Kumar for delivering one of the finest performances of his career. Arshad Warsi, reprising his role as Jolly, was lauded for effortlessly blending humor and seriousness, a combination that made his presence especially memorable. Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao, Gajraj Rao, and Seema Biswas also received appreciation for their strong contributions to the ensemble cast.
Another netizen remarked that Akshay brought “emotion, intensity, and humor” to his character, while Warsi’s comeback as Jolly was “pure gold.” Fans particularly highlighted the on-screen chemistry between the two actors, with veteran performer Saurabh Shukla singled out as “outstanding” and delivering his best work in the series so far. Several viewers noted that the film’s gritty dialogues and courtroom setting make it a drama not to be missed.
While the audience feedback has been highly positive, critical reviews were slightly more measured. The Free Press Journal gave the movie 3 stars, noting that while Jolly LLB 3 is hilarious in parts and entertaining overall, it doesn’t necessarily elevate the franchise beyond previous installments. Still, critics agreed that for Akshay Kumar fans, this is a film worth watching.
Attention has now turned to the film’s box office performance. Industry watchers are eager to see whether Jolly LLB 3 will surpass the opening day numbers of its predecessors. The first installment in 2013 earned about $365,000 on opening day, while the 2017 sequel grossed nearly $1.6 million. With a strong brand name and early buzz, all eyes are on whether the third part can exceed those figures and possibly secure a double-digit million-dollar opening.
For now, the consensus is clear: Jolly LLB 3 has entertained audiences, reignited the franchise’s energy, and reminded viewers why the combination of Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi remains a winning formula for Bollywood cinema.
