The Jolly LLB franchise has a strong box office history. The first film, Jolly LLB (2013), opened at ₹3.05 crore, and despite being a modest-budget film, it went on to earn critical and commercial success. Its sequel, Jolly LLB 2 (2017), starring Akshay Kumar, had a much stronger debut, collecting ₹13.20 crore on its first day.
In comparison, Jolly LLB 3’s opening of ₹11.8 crore is lower than the second film but higher than the franchise’s first outing. The performance over the weekend will be crucial to determine whether the third installment can match or surpass Jolly LLB 2’s overall run. What to Expect from Jolly LLB 3’s Weekend?
Given the film’s stellar performances, engaging storyline, and courtroom confrontations, Jolly LLB 3 is likely to see a sharp rise in collections over Saturday and Sunday. The franchise’s past success and the hype around the Akshay Kumar vs Arshad Warsi legal clash may help the film record a stronger weekend total.
Jolly LLB 3 managed to earn ₹11.8 crore on Day 1, starting on a modest note at the box office. However, with its strong recall value, powerful dialogues, and ensemble cast, the film is well-positioned to gain momentum in the coming days. The real test begins over the weekend, when higher foot traffic will determine whether it lives up to the legacy of the franchise.
