It was predicted in this column that Jolly LLB 3 will open in Rs. 13-15 crores. This was before the VPF issue derailed advance booking plans for more than a day, which resulted in at least a loss of Rs. 1-2 crore. Considering that, the film still managed to pull through well on the basis of spot booking and as a result ended up bringing in Rs. 12.50 crores. Now, if not for the advance booking issue, the film could well have collected Rs. 13-14 crores.

Nonetheless, in the bigger scheme of things, this doesn’t really matter because the film has earned all around positive reviews already. Also, the audience word of mouth is absolutely positive too, which means there is very good growth on the cards today. Around Rs. 16-17 crores should come in today, which means a weekend of around Rs. 48-50 crores will be on the cards.

Akshay Kumar has now delivered fourth film in a row this year, which has taken an opening and is pretty much in the thick of things. Conversations around over-exposure are out of the window as well as not just has he played different characters in Sky Force, Kesari: Chapter 2, Housefull 5 and Jolly LLB 3, he has also won loads of appreciation for his performance. Box office returns are coming as well and Jolly LLB 3 is on track to enter Rs. 100 Crore Club.

Note: All collections as per various box office sources
