Story Of Jolly LLB 3:
In the third instalment of the Jolly LLB franchise, the familiar courtroom drama is turned into a lively competition between two different kinds of lawyers, Jolly Mishra (Akshay Kumar) and Jolly Tyagi (Arshad Warsi), both find themselves arguing cases in front of Judge Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla) once again. The story focuses on a serious real-world issue involving farmer suicides and land being unfairly taken by greedy corporations, a theme that grounds the movie despite its humorous moments.
This was followed by the Golden Jubilee Celebration of Sholay and a segment named JFF Little Lights - A Celebration of Young Voices (for children under 18). Since its inception, JFF has primarily catered to movies for audiences over the age of 18. However, in keeping with its tagline "Good Cinema for Everyone," this year, the festival features a special children's section during the morning.
