Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's film Jolly LLB 3 earns Rs 12.5 crore on its opening day, signifying a robust start.
In the world of Bollywood, the courtroom drama Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, has made a significant impact. The film, released on September 19, 2022, was shown on nearly 4000 screens across various cities.
The film, written and directed by Subhash Kapoor, has been making waves on social media, receiving positive feedback from viewers. Akshay Kumar's performance, along with the witty and satirical humour, has been particularly praised, especially Saurabh Shukla's role.
On its opening day, Jolly LLB 3 crossed the Rs 10 crore mark, a promising start for the film. However, it struggled to compete with Anurag Kashyap's Nishaanchi, which has themes similar to Gangs of Wasseypur. Nishaanchi is one of the longest films with curse words, attracting a different audience.
Despite a 22% occupancy rate on its opening day, the film is expected to perform better on the opening weekend. This optimism is fueled by the film's impressive worldwide gross collection, which is nearing Rs 200 crore.
Interestingly, Jolly LLB 3 did not beat its sequel, Jolly LLB 2's opening day record, set at Rs 13.2 crore. Arshad Warsi's Jolly LLB, released in 2013, grossed Rs 46 crore worldwide.
Akshay Kumar's Jolly LLB 3 has now taken the franchise to new heights, following in the footsteps of his highest-grossing films like Good Newwz (2019), Sooryavanshi (2021), and Mission Mangal (2019). However, his highest-grossing film till now remains Housefull 4, which collected Rs 2,05,60,50,000 in 2019.
As the weekend unfolds, it remains to be seen how Jolly LLB 3 will fare at the box office. With its engaging plot, humour, and star-studded cast, the film has certainly piqued the interest of moviegoers.
