Jolly LLB’ is a biting comic satire that will make you laugh

Jolly LLB, which is set to release by mid-March, has evoked a positive response from the industry. Filmmakers Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra saw the film and signed up the movie’s director, Subhash kapoor, for the next Munnabhai outing.

“We felt that Subhash’s sensibility matched what we were looking for in taking the Munnabhai franchise forward.” Bomen Irani, Saurabh Shukla and Arshad Warsi who have acted in Jolly LLB, also put in a strong word for their director.” Said filmmakers.

To begin with, Kapoor’s film follows the life of a Meerut-based lawyer (Arshad), who wishes to make it big. In the process, he ends up reopening a case that pits him against the biggest lawyer of the country (Boman). With this as the backdrop, Subhash has presented the inner ramblings of the legal system. “I am welcoming people to the courts of India — where you may neither find the Bhagwad Gita to take an oath on, nor chaste Hindi/ Urdu-speaking lawyers. Rather, you will see everyday life being presented as it is.” Subhash says.

Those who have seen the rushes feel the film will connect with the common man. “We continue to fight our battles only on hope. Our belief keeps us going and that is where Jolly, as a character, works. He is someone you may know in real life.”

Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios, says, It’s a very special film that we are extremely proud of — it not only entertains but also makes you think and reflect.”

Jolly LLB, produced by Fox Star Studios and written and directed by Subhash Kapoor, releases March 15.
