Notably, the collection is slightly higher than Akhsay Kumar`s last film Kesari 2, which had collected around Rs 7.50 – Rs 8 crore on its opening day. However, it still falls short of the day 1 collection of its predecessor Jolly LLB 2, which earned Rs 13.2 crore when it released in 2017.
About Jolly LLB 3
The third film of the popular franchise has the two Jollies from the previous instalments pitted against each other in the courtroom, while both try to win cases in their own way, by bending rules, using technical loopholes, and clashing over who is the “real Jolly” in the legal world. This time, the story revolves around a case involving struggling farmers whose lands are being seized by a dishonest businessman, played by Gajraj Rao. Akshay Kumar`s character finds himself in trouble when he lands on the wrong side of the case, leading to a series of chaotic and witty exchanges with Arshad Warsi.
Alongside the lead duo, the film features Huma Qureshi, Saurabh Shukla, Amrita Rao, Seema Biswas, Ram Kapoor, Gajraj Rao, Shilpa Shukla, Brijendra Kala, and others in key roles. Jolly LLB 3, presented by Star Studio18, released in theatres on September 19, 2025.
In 2017, Akshay and Huma Qureshi starred in Jolly LLB 2, a spiritual sequel to Jolly LLB, released in 2013. The first film featured Arshad and Saurabh Shukla in the lead roles, with Amrita Rao also starring in the first part. Meanwhile, Akshay has several projects in his pipeline. The actor will be seen in Priyadarshan`s film `Haiwaan` alongside Saif Ali Khan. The film recently went on floors in Kochi. In the coming months, Akshay will also be seen in Bhooth Bangla.
