Jolly LLB 3 Box Office: Akshay-Arshad Film Crosses ₹50 Crore in Opening Weekend

The much-anticipated courtroom comedy-drama, Jolly LLB 3, has opened to a strong performance at the box office, crossing the ₹50 crore mark in its opening weekend. The film, which brings together franchise stars Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, has resonated with audiences, showcasing a promising trajectory for the coming days.

According to industry trackers, the film, directed by Subhash Kapoor, had a decent opening on Friday, collecting approximately ₹12.5 crore. However, it was the weekend that truly saw the film gain momentum. Jolly LLB 3 witnessed a significant surge on Saturday, earning an estimated ₹20 crore, and continued its steady run on Sunday with a collection of around ₹21 crore. This consistent growth, fueled by positive word-of-mouth, has pushed the film’s total three-day domestic collection to ₹53.50 crore.

The film’s success is particularly notable as it marks the first time both Akshay Kumar (from Jolly LLB 2) and Arshad Warsi (from the original Jolly LLB) share the screen as the two “Jollys.” Their on-screen chemistry, along with the return of the beloved Judge Tripathi, played by Saurabh Shukla, has been a major highlight for fans and critics alike.

The film’s performance in different regions has also been a talking point. While some circuits like Mumbai have shown a slightly slower pace, the film has delivered outstanding results in areas like Delhi/UP and East Punjab. The strong connection to the story’s theme of farmer issues is believed to have particularly resonated with audiences in these regions.

Jolly LLB 3 has not only surpassed the opening weekend collections of its predecessors but has also secured a place among the highest-grossing opening weekends of the year. This success is a welcome sign for the industry and a testament to the franchise’s enduring appeal.

With a strong first weekend behind it, all eyes are now on the film’s performance on its first Monday. The sustained positive reception suggests that Jolly LLB 3 is well-positioned to maintain a steady run at the box office and could be on its way to becoming a significant hit.
