Description: Jolly LLB 2, released in 2017, is a Hindi film that follows the story of Jagdishwar “Jolly” Mishra, a lawyer from Lucknow played by Akshay Kumar. Jolly lives with his wife Pushpa and their son. Although he is a lawyer, he works as an assistant to Mr. Rizvi, one of Lucknow’s most prominent lawyers, following in his father’s footsteps who had worked for Rizvi for 30 years. Jolly aspires to start his own law practice and uses cunning tactics to raise funds. He deceives a widow, Hina Qasim, by claiming that Rizvi will take her case for a fee of 200,000 rupees. Upon discovering the lie, Hina takes her own life.
Jolly later learns that Hina’s husband, Iqbal Qasim, was killed in a staged police encounter by Inspector Suryaveer Singh, who falsely labeled him as a terrorist. Singh also killed a fellow officer, Bhadouria, to make the encounter appear legitimate. Overcome with guilt, Jolly decides to fight for Hina’s case and files a Public Interest Litigation (PIL). However, Singh hires Lucknow’s top lawyer, Pramod Mathur, to defend him. Justice Sunderlal Tripathi reprimands Jolly for lack of evidence but grants him time to gather proof before the next hearing.
With the help of a bookie named Guru Ji, Jolly obtains crucial documents related to the case by selling his own chamber for 500,000 rupees. He also tracks down the son of the deceased constable, Ram Kumar Bhadauria. However, Mathur manipulates the narco test video of the witness, undermining Jolly’s efforts. Despite facing disciplinary action for presenting questionable evidence, Jolly is given four days to prove his case by the Chairman of the Discipline Committee, who turns out to be Mr. Rizvi. Rizvi, feeling remorseful for not taking the case himself, gives Jolly a final chance to redeem himself.
