I waited eagerly for the sequel of Jolly LLB 2. The first movie in the franchise was quite amazing. In this review I may seem biased due to the comparison i will make to Jolly LLB.
First of all I would like to say Akshay Kumar is a great actor and has done a great job. Even though I am not quite the critic on acting but I thoroughly enjoyed his performance.
Jolly LLB was a movie full of twist and turns and we held onto the edge of our seats because even we, the audience did not know the truth. The storytelling of the sequel however was quite the opposite. There is no sense of mystery in the movie.Most of the courtroom scenes are spent talking about personal matters and the lawyers insulting each other. Hell we don't even see the courtroom until 40 minutes into the movie.
This movie is too "bollywoodised" for my liking. There are just songs in the movie that have nothing to do with the plot. Typical Bollywood. The previous movie could have captured you emotionally and helped you understand the protagonist's struggles. This movie did none of that.Comedy? No way!. It was not the least bit funny.So maybe they were trying to make a serious movie? If so you should hear Anu Kapoor's character's arguments.It was just so silly. One of the main things going for the first movie was the dramatic tension of the movie.This has none of that. Maybe the comparison has made the movie seem very bad. Maybe if I had watched this one movie first I would have liked it but in the end it was just a let down.
