Indian cinema’s favorite lawyer, Akshay Kumar, is back on the big screen with Jolly LLB 3, a hilarious comedy-drama that has already started the new year on a high note. The film, directed by Subhash Kapoor, is not only performing exceptionally well at the box office but is also expected to emerge a clean HIT. After recording a start of Rs 12.75 crore, the film has seen a significant jump in collections on the second day, with estimates suggesting that it has collected around Rs 19.50 crore to Rs 20.50 crore, with an outside chance of hitting the Rs 21 crore mark.
The surge in business is evident across all platforms – multiplexes and single screens alike. This surge in collections has more or less locked in the HIT tag for Jolly LLB 3. The positive word of mouth for the film is a testament to its success, and the signs of acceptance were visible from the Friday evening shows. As a result, the film has seen a jump from what looked like a Rs 10 crore opening in the morning to Rs 12.50 crore by the end of the day.
According to industry experts, there is an India vs Pakistan match scheduled for Sunday, which may affect the film’s collections. However, it’s not surprising to see Jolly LLB 3 seeing a jump on the third day too, as when a film gets appreciation, nothing seems to stop it from setting the cash registers ringing. The film’s success is a testament to the popularity of Akshay Kumar and the enduring charm of his on-screen character, Adv. Jolly LLB.
Jolly LLB 3 is already the third success of 2025 for Akshay Kumar, following Kesari 2 and Housefull 5. The film’s success is a welcome respite for the Bollywood industry, which has been facing a slump in recent times. With Jolly LLB 3 performing exceptionally well, it’s clear that the industry is on the right track. As the film continues to entertain audiences across the country, it will be interesting to see how it performs in the coming days.
