Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi’s Jolly LLB 3 will hit theaters in just two days, on September 19. Advance bookings began on September 16, but the numbers currently look weak.
The movie sold tickets worth Rs 1.04 crore on the first day of advance bookings. The latest data shows the film has been scheduled for 4,231 shows across the country. Including block bookings, the total stands at Rs 2.58 crore, as noted in a report from Sacnilk.
Advance Bookings of Jolly LLB 3 Don’t Look Promising
NDTV contacted trade experts Komal Nahta and Taran Adarsh for their thoughts on the box office predictions for Jolly LLB 3. When asked about the disappointing advance booking numbers, both experts said the figures can change.
Komal Nahta told NDTV, “The trailer looks promising. It sets the tone. It’s not a problem that advance bookings are not great. People might just walk into the theater if the film is good.”
Previous Box Office Report Card
Released in 2013, Jolly LLB was directed by Subhash Kapoor and produced by Fox Star Studios. The film starred Arshad Warsi as the lawyer Jolly Tyagi, along with Boman Irani, Amrita Rao, and Saurabh Shukla in key roles. Made on a budget of Rs 10 crore, it benefited from positive word-of-mouth and earned Rs 48.7 crore at the box office.
Four years later, the sequel, Jolly LLB 2, was released, featuring Akshay Kumar as the lead lawyer Jolly Mishra. Now, fans are excited to see how does the Jolly LLB 3 Box office collection works.
