JOLLY LLB






Movie was completely off  trend, but is capable enough to shift the bolly trend. when every director & producer these days is indulged in producing some cheesy, double meaning movies full of romance and sex, director subhash kapoor tried to bring Indian legal system in to focus. Story grounds around the character of Jagdish tyagi jolly, as fresh LLB Graduate who struggles as a beginner in Meerut. He decides to practice litigation in New delhi. Attracted by the charm that delhi can offer, he moves to District court of Delhi. Where he find it hard again to earn his bread. He wants to earn name and fame. Once he encounters the arguments of Tejinder rajpal, who is famous and reputed lawyer, in a hit and run case which was decided in Rajpal’s favour. Jolly was motivated and wanted to become like him. Later on he realises that Tejinder rajpal has saved the accused who is a real culprit. He files a PIL against the court decision and then story begins where he fights for the real cause against most famous lawyer who is shown at a reputation equivalent to Jethmalani. It shows how for money lawyers are ready to do anything. How judges can be settled by lawyer. Money can corrupt minds at any level and by any means. How people commit crimes and tries to find loopholes of law. Witnesses turns hostile for small amount of money. And law is all for creamy layer, no body is concerned about poor. Through mixed blend of comedy, emotions and greed the real taste of Indian legal system is stroked in the movie. It is a satire on the present system and also depicts the harsh reality of how it actually works. It is the first ever movie in Indian history which could shed off the veil and bring the real colour of legal system by depicting the real scenario. I myself as a law student have encountered  many people asking to me “does court look the same as shown in the movies? And I always had to disappoint them by saying no. As what all shown in the movies is always the ideal situation which is never going to turn into fortuitous in practicality, not at least in India. Courts were wrongly misinterpreted as equipped with well furnished infrastructure having a judge and two lawyers arguing with each other for a case like real warrior and the role of lawyer was not limited to lawyering but extended to detectives and CIDs. Which is a far cry from reality, as courts are more like a fish market. Which is shown aptly in the movie.
Hard earned struggle faced by fresh law graduates can be felt in the movie. Movie is a complete fun and reality package. Though it is Low budget movie but is worth watching.

I was happy, not because a movie on Law was released but because it has disclosed the harsh practicality of Indian legal system and pave the way for development in this field. Apart from corruption, the major problem is limited funds allocation by Government which has barred our legal system to grow. Allocation of more funds, appointment of more judges and increasing the number of benches of supreme court as per different specialised areas of judges is the need of the hour. Through this movie the harsh reality of the profession could come into limelight, which was waiting for years to seek attention. Despite its low cost budget and cheap songs movie emerged as a winner as it could earn 3.12 crore on the very first day. This is a new era where not only romance can crease the bread, as new ideas are embraced. It succeeded in bringing motivating and emotional Goosebumps.

    Good efforts to show the reality. In reality, the media hesitate to publish the real cases of harassed people who runs for years & years in the hopes of getting justice and lost health,wealth and valuable life . I gone through this trauma since last 28 years and lost everything , even my all teeth at the age of 32. 3 times hospitalised. It is only Yoga which gave me rebirth.

    I agree with you, Indian legal system clearly needs modern reforms, which can be achieved only by increasing the number of Judges and also there is a need to increase the budget allocation for legal reforms.
