Strong Earnings on Opening Day
According to reports, Jolly LLB 3 earned 12.50 crore rupees on its very first day of release. This figure is considered a splendid start given the film's budget. It is reported that the film was produced with an expenditure of approximately 75 to 80 crore rupees.

Akshay-Arshad Duo Becomes Fan Favorite
The first installment of the Jolly LLB series featured Arshad Warsi, and it was highly appreciated by the audience. Following this, Akshay Kumar took on the lead role in the second installment, and the film performed excellently at the box office. Now, in the third installment, both stars are appearing together. This is precisely why a distinct excitement was observed among the audience for the film. This blend of courtroom drama and comedy is resonating well with people.
Impact on South Indian Films
The release of Jolly LLB 3 has put a brake on the momentum of three South Indian films. Kalyani Priyadarshan's film Loca had been consistently earning well for the past two weeks, but after the arrival of Jolly LLB 3, its collection dropped below 2 crore for the second time in 23 days. This decline has proven to be a setback for the film.
Teja Sajja's film Mirai is also now starting to falter. For the first time on its 8th day of release, the film's collection dropped below 3 crore. Although Mirai has recovered its budget and received a good response overseas, its earnings in India are now clearly showing an impact.
Meanwhile, the box office graph for the film Dil Madrasi is also seen declining. The entry of the big-budget, star-studded Jolly LLB 3 has also affected the earning potential of this film.
Jolly LLB 3 Becomes Audience's First Choice
Jolly LLB 3 has made it clear, not just through its initial earnings but also through audience reactions, that the film is greatly appealing to them. The blend of courtroom drama with humor and glimpses of social issues has kept the audience engaged. The crowds of viewers outside cinemas and long queues at ticket counters are evidence of the film's popularity.
After a b opening on the first day, eyes are now set on the weekend. Trade experts believe that the film's collection could easily cross 40 crore on Saturday and Sunday. If this happens, the film could become one of the biggest openers of the year at the box office.
