‘Jolly LLB 3’ Delivers Franchise’s Strongest Opening Weekend, Akshay and Arshad’s Jodi Wins Hearts

Mumbai, September 22, 2025: The verdict is out, and it’s a huge win for Bollywood. The highly anticipated film “Jolly LLB 3,” starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, has hit a home run at the box office.

The movie has earned a huge sum in its first weekend, making it the highest-grossing opening weekend for the “Jolly LLB” franchise.

The film, which was released on Friday, September 19, had a strong start but saw a massive jump over the weekend, showing the power of positive word of mouth.

Jolly LLB 3 First Weekend Collection

On its first day, Friday, the movie collected a decent ₹12.5 crore. The real magic, however, happened on Saturday and Sunday. The collections saw a remarkable rise to ₹20 crore on Saturday and a steady ₹21.45 crore on Sunday. This brought the total opening weekend collection to a stunning ₹53.95 crore.

This is a big achievement for the film and for both the lead actors. The first film in the series, “Jolly LLB,” starring Arshad Warsi, was a sleeper hit and earned a little over ₹12 crore in its opening weekend.

“Jolly LLB 2,” with Akshay Kumar in the lead, had a stronger opening weekend with around ₹50.47 crore. Now, “Jolly LLB 3” has surpassed both, proving that bringing the two “Jollies” together was a brilliant idea.

The success of “Jolly LLB 3” is also a big boost for Akshay Kumar. Since the pandemic, he has had a mixed run at the box office. But this year, he has had a fantastic comeback with hits like “Housefull 5” and “Sky Force.”

“Jolly LLB 3” is now his fourth biggest opening weekend since the pandemic. It shows that he is back in form and that audiences love his comedy and drama films.

The movie’s director, Subhash Kapoor, deserves a lot of credit. He has written and directed all three films in the franchise. He has managed to keep the essence of the “Jolly LLB” series alive.

The film is a perfect mix of courtroom drama, sharp social commentary, and humor. The story, which is inspired by a real-life farmer’s protest, resonates with the audience.

The critics and the audience have praised the movie highly. They have loved the chemistry between Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi. Both actors have delivered brilliant performances. But the real star, according to many, is Saurabh Shukla, who reprises his role as the witty and honest Judge Sundarlal Tripathi.

The film’s strong box office performance is a clear signal that good content will always attract the audience to theaters. With no major releases in the coming week, “Jolly LLB 3” is expected to continue its strong run.
