Just watched Jolly LLB in a nearby multiplex. I'm not much of a critic, don't usually follow any film review sections and don't want to dilute my blog with film stuff but who is going to stop me anyway, eh! So coming straight to the point, here I go-
After a long time Arshad has been given the responsibility of leading a noble thought. He is well supported by the likes of Boman, Saurabh Shukla and Manoj Pahwa. If not for the sheer acting prowess of these fine actors, the film could have fell flat owing to lack of strong ending. As I mentioned earlier, the thought was noble but in spite of some good moments, one is left wanting to laugh wholeheartedly or feel the seriousness of the matter. Director Subhash Kapoor had two tasks in hand-To show the ugly truth of the people who have made a mockery of our judicial system and second, of our individual choices about what is good and what is right. The latter is shown in a quite cliched way, the first task could have been better taken care of if the makers had worked a little more on the facts and practical aspects and left the emotion part to the viewer.
Jolly's girl friend didn't have much to do except evoking his conscience before the intermission.

The songs were more or less a hindrance. . The sad part is, one feels this could have been watched in the comfort of one's home after a few weeks when it premieres on cable TV.
