‘Jolly LLB’ is a hardcore comic entertainer. But, in actuality, it's not a comic fare in entirety. It's a serious fare with some humour interlaced in its screenplay in the initial half, inspired by a real-life hit and run case that made front-page news. The movie walks the thin line wonderfully. The on-screen characters seem straight out of everyday life and if I am not mistaken, this is, perhaps, the first Hindi movie that finds humour within the confines of a courtroom, besides presenting a captivating courtroom drama so effectively. It's a fascinating account of an underdog who locks horns with a much-senior, much-powerful and much-influential lawyer and emerges triumphant, after facing a lot of hardships. This slice of life film celebrates the spirit of the ‘aam aadmi’ so admirably and capably that in his triumph lies your triumph! Above and beyond the serious tone of the movie, the humor in Subhash Kapoor's movies stems from commonplace stuff, which is evident in ‘Jolly LLB’ as well. The flick rests on three shoulders primarily - Arshad, Boman and Saurabh Shukla. All in all it turns out to be a middling drag completely lacking in surprise, with some lines that appear funny because of the actors delivering them. It can be given a watch!
