Sudhir Mishra Applauds ‘Jolly LLB 3’, Calls It “A Brave Film About Our Times”

Veteran filmmaker Sudhir Mishra has praised Jolly LLB 3, calling it a “very brave film about our times” in a heartfelt post on social media. Applauding the legal comedy-drama, Mishra highlighted the film’s ability to tackle pressing social issues while maintaining a popular, accessible tone. “It takes guts and skill to take issues throbbing within our society and then turn them into a popular tale,” he wrote, applauding the film’s ensemble cast and its director, Subhash Kapoor.

 

Released on 19 September 2025, Jolly LLB 3 is the third installment in the beloved courtroom franchise, and continues its tradition of blending humor with hard-hitting truths. The film sees Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi reprising their iconic roles, along with Saurabh Shukla returning as the ever-unimpressed judge. Amrita Rao and Huma Qureshi also reprise their roles, grounding the narrative with continuity and emotional depth. With critics giving it generally positive reviews, the film appears to have struck a balance between entertainment and introspection—something that clearly resonated with Mishra.

 

Subhash Kapoor, known for his unique voice and satirical edge, has once again steered the franchise into relevant territory, taking aim at the cracks within India’s legal system while keeping the audience laughing. Mishra’s praise, especially noting the cast’s “rhythm and sync,” echoes what fans of the series have long appreciated: the franchise’s ability to make us think while we laugh.

 

Meanwhile, Mishra himself is staying busy behind the camera. He is currently working on Summer of '77, an ambitious eight-part series set during the politically volatile JP Movement in India. With a cast led by Anushka Pant, Vivian Shah, Rahul Bhat, and featuring Naseeruddin Shah’s son, the series dives deep into themes of rebellion, identity, and womanhood. Notably, Rahul Bhat will be portraying Sanjay Gandhi—one of the most controversial figures of that era.

 

As Jolly LLB 3 wins both hearts and headlines, and with Summer of '77 on the horizon, it’s clear that Indian cinema is continuing to tackle tough questions—with both courage and creativity.
