The Road to ₹100 Crore: A Bumpy Ride

Jolly LLB 3 had a decent opening with ₹12 crore, peaking at ₹19.75 crore on its first Sunday. However, the film struggled during weekdays, with collections dropping to ₹4-6.5 crore. At one point, reaching the three-digit mark seemed unlikely.

The turning point came during the second week. Despite expectations of a complete collapse, the courtroom dramedy showed resilience with surprisingly strong holds. Weekend collections remained steady, with Day 9 and 10 bringing in ₹7 crore and ₹6.75 crore respectively—impressive for a second weekend.

This unexpected bounce-back propelled the film into the ₹100 crore club on its 15th day, marking Akshay Kumar’s 19th entry into this elite group.

Why ₹100 Crore Isn’t Enough

While crossing ₹100 crore is certainly an achievement, it doesn’t guarantee commercial success. According to box office analysts at Pinkvilla, Jolly LLB 3 needed at least ₹150 crore to secure a clean hit verdict.

With projected lifetime collections around ₹110 crore, the film falls into the “underwhelming” category—profitable but far from the blockbuster territory fans expected.

Akshay Kumar’s Comeback Attempt

The last few years haven’t been kind to Akshay Kumar. His last clean hit was OMG 2 in August 2023. Since then, despite delivering multiple releases, the superstar has struggled to recreate his pre-pandemic box office magic.

Jolly LLB 3 represents a ray of hope. In 2025, Akshay has seen three films enter the ₹100 crore club—his best year since the pandemic. However, none achieved true hit status, highlighting the uphill battle he faces in regaining his commercial dominance.

What Worked and What Didn’t

What Worked:

  • Strong franchise recognition from previous Jolly LLB films
  • Arshad Warsi’s return to the series
  • Decent word-of-mouth during second week
  • Holiday advantage on Gandhi Jayanti (Day 14)

What Didn’t:

  • Weak weekday performance throughout
  • Competition from other releases
  • Mixed critical reception
  • Inability to sustain opening weekend momentum

The Verdict

Jolly LLB 3 joins the growing list of films that cross ₹100 crore but fail to achieve blockbuster status. It’s a bittersweet milestone for Akshay Kumar—proof that audiences still show up, but not in the massive numbers he once commanded.

With a projected theatrical end around ₹110 crore, the film will be remembered as a moderate performer rather than the comeback vehicle Akshay desperately needed. The courtroom drama may have won this case, but the verdict isn’t exactly in its favor.

FAQs

Q: What is the total box office collection of Jolly LLB 3?

Jolly LLB 3 has collected approximately ₹100 crore net at the Indian box office in 15 days. The film is expected to end its theatrical run around ₹110 crore, which falls short of the ₹150 crore needed for a clean hit verdict. Despite entering the ₹100 crore club, it’s considered an underwhelming performer by industry standards.


Q: Is Jolly LLB 3 a hit or flop?

Jolly LLB 3 is neither a hit nor a flop—it’s an underwhelming performer. While it crossed ₹100 crore, becoming Akshay Kumar’s 19th film to achieve this milestone, it needed ₹150 crore for clean hit status. The film struggled with weekday collections despite a strong second-week recovery, making it a modest success rather than the blockbuster expected from the franchise.
