'''''The State vs. Jolly LL.B 2''''', known also as '''''Jolly LL.B 2''''', is a 2017 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[black comedy film]] written and directed by [[Subhash Kapoor]] and produced by [[Fox Star Studios]], serving as a quasi sequel to the 2013 film ''[[Jolly LLB]]'', and as the second film of the ''[[Jolly LLB (film series)|Jolly LLB]]'' franchise.

Based in Lucknow, the story follows a lawyer who fights a case against a ruthless and powerful advocate to bring justice to the deceased victim of a fake encounter involving a corrupt police officer. [[Akshay Kumar]] plays the titular character, Jagdishwar Mishra, replacing the 2013 film's lead actor, [[Arshad Warsi]], while [[Huma Qureshi (actress)|Huma Qureshi]], [[Annu Kapoor]] and [[Kumud Mishra]], as well as [[Saurabh Shukla]], who reprises his role from the 2013 original, star in the lead roles.

''Jolly LL.B. 2'' opened worldwide on 10 February 2017, and made on an investment of {{INRConvert|450|m}}, earned {{INRConvert|1.97|b}} worldwide to become a major critical and commercial success, with praise for the writing and execution by Subhash Kapoor, as well as the performances by Akshay Kumar, Shukla and Annu Kapoor, as well as Mishra.

A third instalment of the franchise has been planned, with Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla returning in the key roles.

==Plot==
It is the year 2016, Jagdishwar "Jolly" Mishra ([[Akshay Kumar]]) is a [[Lucknow]] based lawyer, who stays with his wife Pushpa ([[Huma Qureshi (actress)|Huma Qureshi]]) and son. Despite being a lawyer, he works as a menial assistant to one of the most famous lawyers of [[Lucknow]], Mr. Rizvi, for whom his father had worked as an assistant for 30 years. He is street smart and dreams of his own law practice. To arrange money for his own chamber, Jolly lies to a widow, Hina Qasim, telling her that Mr. Rizvi will take her case and that the fee is 200,000 rupees. When Hina finds out that she had been lied to by Jolly, she commits suicide. Jolly soon discovers that Hina's husband Iqbal Qasim was killed in a fake [[Encounter killings by police|encounter]] on 13 August 2015, the very next day of their marriage by Inspector Suryaveer Singh, who depicted him as Mohammed Iqbal Quadri, a terrorist in official documents. Singh also shot a fellow constable, Bhadouria, in order to show the encounter as genuine, leading to his death.

Filled with guilt, Jolly decides to fight Hina's case & files a [[Public interest litigation in India|PIL]]. Singh then hires Lucknow's best lawyer Pramod Mathur ([[Annu Kapoor]]) to fight his case. After reprimanding Jolly for his mistakes in filing the PIL and no credible [[Admissible evidence|evidence]], Justice Sunderlal Tripathi ([[Saurabh Shukla]]) gives a date for hearing and warns Jolly to collect some evidence before the hearing.

Jolly is able to get a copy of the FIR and other papers regarding the case with the help of a bookie, Guru Ji, in Varanasi by paying him a sum of {{INR}}500,000 by selling his own chamber. Later he is able to track Ram Kumar Bhadauria, the son of the constable who died in the fake encounter. This backfires as Mathur uses his power and money to tamper with the [[Truth serum|narco test]] video of the witness. However, even though Justice Tripathi orders [[Disciplinary procedures|disciplinary action]] against Jolly for showing allegedly dishonest evidence, the Chairman of the Discipline Committee, who turns out to be Mr. Rizvi himself, gives Jolly four days of time to prove himself correct, as he also feels guilty for not fighting the case himself.

Jolly and Pushpa, while analysing the wedding album of Hina and Iqbal Qasim, notice an unknown cop from Kashmir called Fahim Butt. Jolly travels to Kashmir and gets confirmation of the truth from Fahim, a constable who visited Lucknow to identify the terrorist during Iqbal Qasim and Hina's wedding. Fahim, now suspended and arrested in a fake case, reveals that Qasim, who died in the encounter, was not the real terrorist and that he also filed a complaint against Singh. Jolly flees with Fahim to Lucknow. Meanwhile, Jolly coaxes the police commissioner V.K Paul to tell the truth or else he will file a PIL against all the encounters done by him. Mathur tries his best to avoid Fahim from giving a statement in the court as he stops the proceedings in the courtroom by sitting on the floor in protest. Justice Tripathi also sits on the floor, refusing to be swayed by Mathur's tactics.

At midnight, Justice Tripathi ignores Mathur's plea and decides to carry on the proceedings. After Fahim's statement, Jolly, with help from Paul, presents Quadri, who fakes his identity as a [[Brahmin]] [[Pandit]]. After initial reluctance from Justice Tripathi, Jolly rapidly fires questions to Iqbal by asking him details of the [[Shastra]]s. Iqbal finally admits that he is the terrorist, Quadri, and had bribed Singh to set him free. Justice Tripathi then declares Iqbal Qasim innocent and orders Quadri's arrest, giving life imprisonment to Singh along with his accomplices on charges of [[murder]], [[Spoliation of evidence|erasing evidence]], [[perjury|misleading the court]] and showing [[false evidence]]s as Jolly wins the case.

==Criticism==

===Depiction of Indian judicial system===
The film's title and depiction of the Indian legal system created a controversy. Advocate Ajaykumar Waghmare filed a case at the [[Bombay High Court]] for removal of the word LLB and stated that the use of the word is a "deliberate attempt" to insult the Indian legal system.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/akshay-kumar-jolly-llb-2-controversy-toilet-ek-prem-katha/1/863642.html |title=Akshay Kumar's Jolly LLB 2: Advocate moves court to get 'LLB' dropped from film's title |last=Ghosh |first=Devarshi |date=22 January 2017 |publisher=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref> The Bombay High Court appointed a 3-member committee to examine the content of the film.
