A Silver Lining for Akshay Kumar
While ₹110 crore is not enough to declare Jolly LLB 3 a clean HIT, it’s a reasonable figure considering Akshay Kumar’s recent box office track record. The film has performed better than his other 2025 releases like Sky Force and Kesari Chapter 2.
Key Positives:
- No flops in Akshay’s 2025 slate, only underperformers
- Better reception than several recent releases
- Sustained collections into the fourth week
- Strong word-of-mouth for courtroom drama content
The fact that the film is crossing ₹100 crore in the current market scenario is commendable, especially for a courtroom drama that relies more on content than spectacle.
The Jolly LLB Franchise Legacy
The Jolly LLB franchise has always been about content-driven cinema. While the first two installments were modest successes, they carved a niche for courtroom dramas in Bollywood. The third installment brings together both Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, creating a unique crossover that fans have enjoyed.

Post-Pandemic Reality for Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar’s box office journey post-pandemic has been challenging. Once known for delivering consistent ₹150-200 crore grossers, the Khiladi Kumar has struggled to replicate that success in the changed theatrical landscape.
Recent Performance Pattern:
- Multiple releases per year strategy not working
- Content-driven films performing moderately
- Need for big-scale commercial entertainers
- Audience selectivity at peak levels

What’s Next for Akshay Kumar?
Fans are pinning their hopes on Akshay’s upcoming projects for a proper comeback:
Upcoming Films:
- Bhooth Bangla (2026) – Directed by Priyadarshan, has a strong Bhool Bhulaiyaa connect
- Haiwaan – Action thriller in the pipeline
- Welcome Back – Franchise continuation
The Priyadarshan collaboration in Bhooth Bangla is particularly exciting, given their successful past partnerships in films like Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and Garam Masala.
The Verdict: Decent but Not Spectacular
Jolly LLB 3 will likely conclude its theatrical run around the ₹110 crore nett mark. While this doesn’t make it a blockbuster, it’s a respectable performance for a courtroom drama in today’s market. The film has provided Akshay Kumar with a much-needed decent performer after a series of underperformers.
The movie’s sustained run into the fourth week shows that there’s still an audience for content-driven cinema, even if the numbers aren’t earth-shattering.

- Niche genre with limited mass appeal
- Competition from other releases
- Akshay Kumar’s reduced box office pull post-pandemic
- Lack of high-octane action sequences typical of big grossers
- Target audience primarily urban multiplexes
