"Tarikh par tarikh, Tarikh par tarikh, Tarikh par tarikh.... 

par insaaf nahi mila milod, 

bas mili hai to sirf Tarikh"

                                                             

                                                                      -DAMINI (1993)

We all Indians agree with this dramatic and true dialogue of the Bollywood film "DAMINI", delivered by the actor Sunny Deol (not to be confused with Sunny Leone), who criticized the corrupted judicial system of India. The majority of the cases in India are pending, awaiting the dates of next hearing. It repeats on & on like a circle.

Before scrolling down, watch this creative output of the "GREEN PLYWOOD" ad below, that is entertaining for the Indians as well as audience abroad, an overview of the slowest & funny system of Indian court. One can commit crime in India & can survive by delaying trials for a lifetime.

"The first thing we do, let's all kill the lawyers." When Justice Rajendra Mal lodha quoted from Shakespeare's Measure for Measure on March 15 last year, a wave of mirth ran through courtroom 5 of the "Supreme Court". It was in response to a case seeking to stop a film, Jolly LLB, from being released.

Now coming to the national award winning feature film Jolly LLB, it's about a young lawyer Jagdish Tiyagi aka Jolly (actor Arshad Warsi) from Meerut, who wants to go to Delhi, the ultimate place of  Sab-Court-Ka-Baap "Supreme Court", to gain media popularity & make it big.

Here actor Boman Irani plays the role of Tejinder Rajpal (a highly influential & corrupted lawyer) who is defending a businessman, guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol & killing people sleeping on the street of Delhi (inspired by 1999 hit and run case of Sanjeev Nanda). Rajpal can win this case very easily and is capable of playing tricky games to change the truth into a different story. During the ongoing trial inside the court, Jolly becomes Rajpal's fan instantly and without thinking much files a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) against Rajpal's client and comes under the media attention.

Now starts the real game of politics, where lawyers use their intelligent skills to keep the corrupted system of India follow the same path without any diversion. The real battle begins between experienced Rajpal & newcomer Jolly. 

Boman Irani's performance  as a professional & corrupted lawyer will make the audience seated until the end of the movie.

At last, why experienced professionals like Rajpal in the movie are corrupted and newcomers like Jolly are confused to support corruption or fight for Justice? 

Whatever it may be, enjoy the movie where CORRUPTION here is one of the main ingredient of ENTERTAINMENT.
