The story of Jolly LLB 3 begins in the fictional Rajasthan village of Parsaul, where an elderly farmer and poet, Rajaram Solanki, becomes the face of a land struggle he never wanted. Crushed by debt and trapped by an unfair system, Rajaram’s land is handed over through local authorities to a powerful builder under the pretext of a loan default. Humiliated, stripped of dignity and livelihood, he dies by suicide, leaving behind his wife Janki and a widowed daughter-in-law. His death sparks anger in the village and quietly sets off the legal battle that drives the film. The mastermind behind the land grab is Haribhai Khaitan (Gajraj Rao), a suave but ruthless businessman. He dreams of a grand infrastructure project called “Bikaner to Boston”, which requires swallowing up vast tracts of farmers’ land. On paper, it’s all about “development” and India’s progress; in reality, it’s built on forged orders, intimidation, and corrupt alliances with officials like the tehsildar, local politicians, and sections of the police and bureaucracy. Rajaram’s land becomes just one more casualty in a pattern of exploitation. Janki (Seema Biswas), though devastated, refuses to accept her husband’s death as just another statistic. She becomes determined to fight back. Through an NGO that works with women cheated out of fair land compensation, she is brought to Jagdish Tyagi a.k.a. Jolly Tyagi (Arshad Warsi) in Delhi. Tyagi, who we know from the first film, is still street-smart and jugaadu, but now more established. However, when the enormity of the case becomes clear and the odds look impossible, he initially steps back and suggests that Jagdishwar Mishra a.k.a. Jolly Mishra (Akshay Kumar) might be the better bet. Mishra, returning from Jolly LLB 2, is a more polished, high-profile lawyer now, used to big clients and bigger fees. When Janki’s plea first comes to him, he brushes it aside, preoccupied with his own financial pressures and the comfort of representing wealthy, influential people. But a small, human moment shakes him: he sees Janki and her supporter waiting in the rain outside his office, holding on to hope that he might help. That image gnaws at his conscience, and he decides to take the case despite knowing it means going up against power and money. Complications arise when Mishra discovers that Haribhai Khaitan himself wants to hire him. For Khaitan, Mishra is the perfect trophy lawyer: credible, sharp, and capable of making even the worst facts sound reasonable. Tempted by the massive daily fee, Mishra initially agrees to represent Khaitan in court, placing him squarely on the opposite side of Janki’s fight. At the same time, Tyagi’s own involvement and personal equations pull him into the farmers’ corner, setting up the central conflict: Jolly Mishra vs Jolly Tyagi in the courtroom of the ever-irritable yet principled Judge Sunder Lal Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla). What follows is a series of sharp, witty, and often chaotic courtroom exchanges. The two Jollys take digs at each other, challenge each other’s ethics, and use every trick they know to gain an advantage. Underneath the humour, the hearings expose how land acquisition notices were manipulated, how compensation was rigged to benefit middlemen, and how officials worked hand-in-glove with Khaitan’s company. Judge Tripathi, now older and more eccentric but still fiercely fair, allows them room to spar—but keeps steering the case back to the core question: what is justice for a farmer who has lost everything? Mishra experiences a turning point when he uncovers the full extent of Khaitan’s lies—especially how Rajaram and his family were falsely painted as greedy, unreasonable villagers to justify the land grab. Realising he has been used to whitewash a grave injustice, he breaks ties with Khaitan. Janki, still focused only on justice rather than revenge, urges both lawyers to stop fighting each other and fight the system together. Gradually, helped and nudged by their wives, Mishra and Tyagi move from rivalry to uneasy partnership, forming a united front against Khaitan. In the final act, Khaitan throws everything he has at the case—money, muscle, and a heavyweight lawyer, Vikram (Ram Kapoor). There’s a violent incident involving a shooter and the police, which nearly derails the case and leaves key characters injured, but also exposes how far the powerful are willing to go to silence the truth. Bruised but not defeated, the two Jollys regroup for the decisive hearing. Mishra methodically tears down a planted witness on the stand, while Tyagi arrives with an injured but honest police officer whose testimony finally nails Khaitan’s conspiracy. Judge Tripathi’s verdict marks a moral and emotional high point: the village’s land is protected, Janki’s stand is vindicated, and Khaitan’s dream of building his empire on stolen soil is shattered. Outside the courtroom, the villagers celebrate by reclaiming their space, and the film closes with the two Jollys standing side by side as the crowd chants “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan”, underlining the film’s pro-farmer, anti-corruption message. Overall, the story uses the clash and eventual unity of the two Jollys to talk about land acquisition, farmer suicides, and the price of “development,” loosely inspired by the real Bhatta–Parsaul land protests of 2011.
