Jolly LLB 2's competition at the box office this week are the new releases Running Shaadi, The Ghazi Attack and Irada, which stars Arshad Warsi, the original Jolly from the first 2013 film.

Akshay Kumar's interpretation of the roguish lawyer who teeters briefly on the brink of a moral chasm has been praised by critics for its restraint. Actor Saurabh Shukla, who reprises his role from 2013's Jolly LLB, has also been singled out for praise. The film also stars Huma Qureshi, Annu Kapoor as Joly's legal adversary, and Sayani Gupta.

Jolly LLB 2, directed by Subhash Kapoor, excised four scenes on order of the Bombay High Court. The scenes, which had been passed by the Censor Board, allegedly ridiculed lawyers.

Akshay Kumar, 49, has now resumed working on Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, which co-stars Bhumi Pednekar and will release this year. He will also be seen as the villain opposite Rajinikanth in 2.0, the mega-budget sequel to 2010 blockbuster Enthiran.
