Jolly LLB

A group of wealthy youths race at dangerous speeds in the dead of night. Their rival drives a Land Cruiser and loses control at a curve, crashing into the footpath. The incident seeds the legal battle that follows.

In the district court, a lawyer-astrologer gains a client and mocks the memory lapses of his rival. This sets up the flawed legal ecosystem that frames the events to come. The bail for Dr. Harphool is postponed as the truth about his son emerges.

Defence lawyer Jolly leaves Meerut for Delhi with hopes of greater cases and recognition. He seeks help from his brother-in-law and the media attention he gains after the bail setback. He starts anew in Delhi.

To make a living, Jolly stages a media spectacle by posing as a terrorist in Delhi for Rs 1000. This desperate act exposes him to public scrutiny and reveals his precarious career.

In Delhi, Tejinder Rajpal, a renowned litigator, defends Rahul Dewan in the Land Cruiser hit-and-run case. Rajpal highlights the vast number of Delhi road accidents and argues media bias against the rich, leading to Rahul's acquittal due to lack of evidence.

Spurred by media coverage, Jolly files a Public Interest Litigation challenging police and media handling. The judge questions the timing and the accuracy of filings noting spelling errors and delayed evidence. The court seeks to reschedule hearings.

Albert Pinto approaches Jolly claiming to be an eyewitness, then tries to strike a bribery deal. He admits a paid deal between Dewans and Jolly's client, betraying Jolly. Sandhya learns of the betrayal and confronts him.

Realizing his mistake, Jolly turns to fight the case. He and his brother-in-law locate a video of the accident and present it in court, challenging the defense's claims about who drove. Tejinder tries to counter with new witnesses, urging a shift to Gorakhpur for evidence.

In court, Jolly questions SI Rathi and brings out the deaths of six people, while Rajpal argues the police botched the investigation. The judge overrules objections and emphasizes the need for proper evidence, signaling a turning point in the case.

A Burkha-clad Sadakanth Mishra testifies that Rahul Dewan was the driver who killed five acquaintances. He also accuses the police of neglecting him, revealing corruption and flawed investigations.

Rajpal accuses police missteps; Jolly argues for justice and rights. The judge acknowledges the systemic flaws and contends that evidence is being kept from the court by powerful interests. The tension culminates in a request for a stronger action against SI Rathi.

The court convicts Rahul Dewan under IPC 304 and sentences him to seven years. Jolly is celebrated for securing justice and reclaiming his self-respect, while the audience witnesses the triumph of justice over media manipulation.

The judge remarks about footpaths and the necessity of justice for the underprivileged. He acknowledges the corruption and the constraints he faced. The case ends with a hard-won victory for Jolly and the public's sense of justice.
