REVIEW: Jolly LLB 2

REVIEW: Jolly LLB 2

Director:  Subhash Kapoor

Stars:       Sudhanva Deshpande, Avijit Dutt, Nikhil Dwivedi 

THE STORY:

An immoral Lawyer Jagdish Mishra/Jolly (Akshay Kumar) fight for justice after an innocent girl who's husband was murdered by some corrupt cops, commits suicide.

THE GOOD:

Jolly LLB 2 is a very simple yet hard hitting movie. I was expecting nothing less considering it being an Akshay Kumar movie who has given nothing but brilliance with his past few performances, and Akshay as Jolly exceeded my expectations by miles. Once again he has delivered a spectacular performance. Be it comedy or a sad scene Akshay will make you feel what he is feeling and that's the beauty of his performance.

Jolly LLB is a perfect blend of comedy and tragedy. When I saw the trailer I was afraid that they are gonna get one of the parts wrong. but I am glad they did.t, the comedy part will make you laugh and the tragedy will make you cry. A couple of scenes that I feel like I should mention because they were that awesome, first is where Hina (the girl who commits suicide) breaks down in front of Akshay when he tricks her into giving him money, and one where after Akshay's fraud comes to light he breaks down in front of his father, these two scenes brought tears to my eyes.

Last but not least at all was the message of unity that the movie gave, especially Akshay's speech at the end where he says that we don't need bad people it doesn't matter which religion they belong to, it felt like a perfect way to end a movie like this.

BAD:

All the big problems I have with Jolly LLB 2 can probably be summed into one giant problem and that's what I am gonna try to do, I hope you guys get it. Jolly LLB is a movie which starts with comedy and then with different turns of events it drifts into tragedy, but the problem is when the tragic and serious part of the movie starts Akshay is the only one who is serious. The characters of the judge and the defense lawyer should have been very serious characters but instead, they act like clowns and in scenes, they even try to be extra funny which completely contradicts the tone of the movie at that point in time. for example, The defense lawyer when insulted by Akshay in one scene turns to his assistant and asks him to write down the line (which Akshay uses to insult him). The judge acts like a clown all the time which, to be honest looks close to over-acting. The court looks like a casual place where friends get together and discuss problems, where anyone can reject the judge's orders or yell at the judge or argue with him. 

Another small problem which now I feel that I should stop saying because almost every Bollywood movie has it, was the Jolly's wife (Huma Qureshi) her character was completely unnecessary in the movie.

THE FINAL WORD:

Do expect it to be a Bollywood movie which has mistakes and is nowhere near perfect but Definitely Watch it. its a simple movie with a hard hitting and a very positive message and should not be missed.

THE TRAILER:

REVIEW: The LEGO Batman Movie

REVIEW: The LEGO Batman Movie

Director:  Chris McKay

Stars:       Jenny Slate, Ralph Fiennes, Channing Tatum and more.

THE STORY:

The LEGO Batman movie is a spin-off from The LEGO movie. The movie is a comedy about a narcissistic, self-obsessed Batman (which he actually is ;-)). Batman has to deal with the evil plans of the criminals of Gotham, including The Joker, and also raise a boy he adopted (Robin).

GOOD:

What I loved about it was the great comedy it had. Batman is such a dark character haunted by his past but even in other DC movies there are things that you could make fun of and for a long time people have been doing that, now finally it's official and the makers of The LEGO Batman movie used those points brilliantly. For example, if we look at the character of Batman, He is self-obsessed, narcissistic and LONELY, and there are jokes about all of them. I believe that this would have been an easy movie to make because the makers had endless resources to make fun of, they had comics, they had the DCEU, they even had the online WAR between DC and MARVEL fans to get help from (I am not saying they got any help from them), and they took advantage of that and gave us a great comedy.

The movie also has a serious portion which is like a family drama, and if you are or have been in the past a fan of the Batman Movies there is a chance that you will not end up being disappointed and you will really enjoy that part too.

Another thing that I loved in the movie was the animations of the LEGOs. The giant cars and planes and stuff being constructed from the LEGOs looked stunning. I loved it in The LEGO movie before this and I loved it here too if anything I would say that they have actually improved.

BAD:

Remember I said that the part about the family drama is something "GOOD" about this movie?

well, I stand by what I said, but for some people, it might be a turn-off, because, after the countless jokes and points at Batman and funny references to DC movies, and laughing your ass off, it is kinda hard to transition into a family drama. I am one of those people because until that part I was laughing like a crazy person, I had tears in my eyes because of the laughing and then suddenly everything changed and they gave me a family drama, I am not saying that the part of the family drama was bad, but I was expecting comedy until the end.

THE FINAL WORD:

A warning! if you have asthma or any breathing problem, either avoid it or take your inhaler with you because I guarantee that you will be laughing your ass off. I loved the movie and definitely recommend it to you guys.
