Watching a movie which is on the same lines of a previous hit and not comparing it with that is a difficult job. But I guess Ill have no problem with that because I haven't watched the original Jolly LLB :D Yes, such people exist! But it is a good thing because am free from all prejudices, if any, I'd have had.
THE PLOT
It is very much predictable, Akshay Kumar as the protagonist, a lawyer named Jolly fighting against the whole system, leaving no stone unturned to get justice to his client. In opposition, is the rich and corrupt, devil's lawyer Mr. Pramod Mathur played by Anu Kapoor who is hell bound to prove his client innocent. Other characters just revolve around.
THE STORY
All throughout the span of the movie, I had the feeling that there was no real problem. A problem has been intentionally created to wove a story around it. And in places where the story seemed strong, the execution has been very vague and weak.
THE PACE
Within the first ten minutes of the story I had the impression that this is going to be a tough thing, sitting in the theater and trying to relate to the story. One thing happens and then the other, a problem comes and out of the blues it is resolved. For a film which shows the judicial process and the flaws in it, it could have been much more organised.
BEST PERFORMANCE
Saurabh Shukla as Justice Sunderlal Tripathi undoubtedly deserves, if there could be one such award within the film. The character never seems one which is made up, it looks very natural at all times. A happy go lucky honest judge, scared by the violent happenings in the court, a chubby man who is editing wedding cards of her daughter in the court room, requesting the lawyers to maintain peace, pretty believable.
THE MUSIC
This is one movie which makes you realize that even in Bollywood, movies can be made without songs. Songs, which were here deliberately placed added no value to the story. Neither did they connect the scattered fragments of the story nor were they a much needed break from the hustle bustle of the film.
Overall, the film was a very average one, not meeting up the expectations which it proclaimed to meet.
