Box Office Trends: Jolly LLB 3 set for another jump on Sunday; Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi film aims at Rs 52 crore in 3 days

The Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi led Jolly LLB 3 is continuing with its solid run at the box office in India. After collecting Rs 31.50 crore in 2 days, the Subhash Kapoor directorial is looking to collect in the range of Rs 20.00 crore to Rs 21.00 crore on the third day as per the very early box office trends, taking the opening weekend collections to Rs 52.00 crore.

The film will end up recording a surge in collections despite the India v/s Pakistan match, and this is reflective of the positive audience word of mouth. With almost Rs 52 crore in the bags over the weekend, Jolly LLB 3 will now be looking at a good hold in business on Monday, and aim to rake in Rs 25 crore over the next four days. This would take the first week collections around the Rs 80 crore mark, and then begins the journey to emerge as the #1 film of the franchise, topping Jolly LLB 2 (Rs 108 crore).

The weekend trend ensures the HIT tag for Jolly LLB 3, as the film is sure to zoom past the Rs 125 crore mark, and the hold on Monday will give an idea about how far can it go over the coming two weeks. The plus for Jolly LLB 3 is the fact that the film has begun to gain some momentum in the mass belts too, and this should help it leg out better.

Jolly LLB 3 will be the third success for Akshay Kumar in 2025, and probably the first hit of the year – helping him get back the momentum of doing well at the box office. The success of mid-size films is a must for survival of the Hindi Film Industry, and 2025 is turning out to be the year where films from across genres are tasting theatrical success.

These are just estimates based on very early trends, and the actuals could vary upside or downwards depending on the hold in business in the shows post 7 PM.

Jolly LLB 3 Day Wise Box Office:

Friday: Rs 12.50 crore

Saturday: Rs 19.00 crore

Sunday: Rs 20.50 crore (Expected)

Total: Rs 52 crore (Expected)

Priyadarshan Exclusive Interview: ‘My 100th film is definitely going to be with Mohanlal’ 

In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, acclaimed filmmaker Priyadarshan, made a big statement as he opened up about his milestone 100th film. The Hera Pheri director shared why it holds a special place in his heart. While he revealed that while there’s no concrete plan yet, one thing is certain, his landmark project will be with none other than Mohanlal. During the conversation, the director got emotional as he recalled the superstar for shaping his journey and how their bond as childhood friends turned into a legendary professional partnership. 

“There’s no plan, but one thing that I want to tell you is my 100th film is definitely going to be with Mohanlal, because what I am today is all because of him. If he had not become a superstar, I would have not… He really encouraged me in making films and supported my career. Maybe we grew up as childhood friends, but he’s still a star… I mean, he has so many options because it’s his life too, but we mutually did good to each other. So, for my 100th film, I cannot think of anybody else because he said one thing: if it ever happens, it will be a record. First film was with him, 100th will be too. It has never happened in the world with any actor and director. It will be a record—we can make it and forget… it will never be broken.”

For the unversed, the first film collaboration between Mohanlal and director Priyadarshan was Poochakkoru Mookkuthi, a 1984 Malayalam-language screwball comedy.

Further highlighting on getting Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal together in a film, Priyadarshan said, “Every time, what excites me is the film I’m making. I never think of actors first — it’s always the script, then the actors. You can’t just say, ‘I will make a film with Mohanlal and Akshay Kumar together,’ because you may never get a script for that. Whenever you get a script, you should go behind whoever is the right cast. That’s the right way to go.”
