Jolly LLB 3 Box Office Day 1: Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi have reunited on the big screen with director Subhash Kapoor’s Jolly LLB 3. The much-awaited courtroom comedy-drama hit cinemas on Friday and registered a net collection of ₹12.5 crore on Day 1.
Though the film had a moderate start, it still managed to surpass the opening figures of recent releases Sky Force and Kesari 2, giving Akshay and Arshad fans a reason to celebrate.
Jolly LLB 3 Beats Sky Force & Kesari 2
On its first day, Jolly LLB 3 earned ₹12.5 crore net, which is slightly above the collections of:
- Sky Force – ₹12.25 crore
- Kesari 2 – ₹7.5 to ₹8 crore
However, the movie’s opening fell just short of its predecessor Jolly LLB 2 (₹13.2 crore on Day 1). Even then, it’s a respectable performance, especially in today’s competitive box office scenario.
Comparison With Other Big Releases
While the courtroom comedy has performed well, it still trails behind some recent big-budget films:
- Housefull 5 – ₹24 crore (Day 1)
- Saiyaara – ₹21.25 crore
- Chhaava – ₹31 crore
- Raid 2 – ₹18–19.25 crore
This highlights the tough competition Jolly LLB 3 faces, but also proves that Akshay-Arshad’s duo still has strong box office appeal.
Occupancy Report: Strong Evening Shows
Trade reports suggest the film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 22.4% on Day 1.
- Morning Shows: 10.28%
- Afternoon Shows: 17.46%
- Evening & Night Shows: 39.45%
The numbers clearly show that word-of-mouth helped the film as evening and night shows saw a strong jump, especially in metro cities.
Storyline: Two Jollies, One Courtroom
The plot brings back the satirical courtroom setup that audiences loved in the earlier films. This time, the narrative follows two lawyers who both call themselves “Jolly”. Each one uses different methods, morality, and loopholes to win cases. The film also teases an entertaining yet dramatic battle to prove who is the real Jolly in the legal world.

Overall View: A Promising Start
Jolly LLB 3 may not have shattered box office records on its first day, but its ₹12.5 crore opening gives it a solid start. With the weekend ahead, trade experts expect collections to rise further, especially if family audiences continue to show up in big numbers.
Packed with satire, humor, and strong performances, the film appeals to both Akshay Kumar’s fan base and those who enjoy courtroom comedies. If positive word-of-mouth continues, Jolly LLB 3 could enjoy a healthy run at the box office.
