Director Subhash Kapoor’s Jolly LLB did well with its droll depiction of a small-time lawyer ( played by Arshad Warsi) and how his guilty conscience encourages him in emancipating the downtrodden. But his quick-witted sequel starring a standout Akshay Kumar does it even better. The needless song and dances, the somewhat preachy lessons in secularism and a lumbering episode featuring a stiff Sayani Gupta are first to come to mind. Except it’s a criticism that’s gladly washed away by the pungency at which Jolly LLB 2 scorns at the intense rot eating up a noble profession without compromising on the inherent rascality of its titular character.
