Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, released in theatres with moderate expectations. The opening weekend showed mixed results, performing slightly better than some of Akshay Kumar’s other releases this year, but still falling short of big box office hits.
The film opened with Rs. 12 crores on Day 1 and collected Rs. 19 crores on Saturday. Sunday was expected to see a jump to Rs. 21 crores, but the film managed Rs. 19.75 crores, partly due to the India vs Pakistan cricket match affecting footfalls.
The weekend total stood at Rs. 51 crores. Early trends indicate that Monday collections could drop below Rs. 5 crores, a sharp fall compared to the first three days. Weekday performance will be crucial for the film’s overall run.
With a reported budget of Rs. 120 crores, Jolly LLB 3 faces pressure to sustain earnings. Audience feedback suggests they are missing the memorable punchlines of the first two installments, which may affect positive word-of-mouth.
For now, the initial collections reflect the franchise’s popularity rather than strong content appeal. It remains to be seen if word-of-mouth can boost the film in the coming days or if the box office will continue to dip.
