Jolly LLB 3: Seema Biswas Steals the Spotlight, Outshining Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi

Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi’s Jolly LLB 3 has hit theaters, but the film has already faced box office losses after its first weekend, with collections dropping sharply on Monday. Yet, the film’s performance isn’t due to lack of talent—every actor delivers a solid performance. However, one veteran actor has managed to outshine even Akshay and Arshad: Seema Biswas, the National Award-winning actress from 31 years ago.

A Powerful Performance

Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the film’s screenplay provides a perfect canvas for its actors. While Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, and Gajrav Rao shine, it is Seema Biswas who leaves a lasting impression as Janaki, the wife of farmer Rajaram Solanki. In the film, she confronts a wealthy businessman over her land, refusing to back down, and delivers moments of sheer strength, wisdom, and resilience.

Key highlights of her role:

Personal Tragedy: She witnesses her husband’s suicide and her daughter-in-law’s death, yet fights alone in court for justice.

Courage Before Villagers: Even after police brutality and bloodshed, she returns to the court, embodying determination and truth.

Wisdom and Guidance: She counsels Akshay and Arshad to unite against the antagonist, showcasing her intellect and moral strength.

National Award Legacy

Seema Biswas gained widespread acclaim in 1994 for her role as Phoolan Devi in Bandit Queen, a biographical action-adventure film. The film was screened at the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes and won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi, while Seema Biswas won Best Actress. Remarkably, she shares the screen again with Saurabh Shukla and Gajrao Rao in Jolly LLB 3, delivering a performance that proves her enduring talent.

Seema Biswas’ role is a reminder that experience and depth in acting can leave an indelible mark, even alongside megastars like Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi.
