Saurabh Shukla on why Jolly LLB clicked with audiences

Offering a compelling insight into why Jolly LLB resonated deeply with audiences, Saurabh Shukla, speaking at a college event in Kolkata, highlighted the film's connection to a prevalent societal anxiety coupled with a fundamental faith in the judiciary. He recalled a conversation with Subhash Kapoor, stating, "Subhash once told me that we are all scared of going to the police because we are scared of getting entangled in some kind of a case. It is a very minute nuance, that when two people fight, their common line is I’ll see you in court. It is the belief that jaahan kahin nyaay nahi milega, there is a court in a country—it is the belief that resonated with the people." This observation underscores a crucial aspect of the film's success: the pervasive fear of police involvement and the subsequent reliance on the courts as a final bastion of hope when other avenues of resolution fail. This deeply ingrained belief in the possibility of justice through the legal system, even amidst societal anxieties, powerfully connected with the public consciousness, playing a significant role in the film's widespread appeal.
