The surge is led by North & West India, while South still belongs to OG. With this strong Saturday momentum, Jolly LLB 3 looks set to post one of the biggest second-weekend holds in recent times for a courtroom drama. Trade expects Saturday collections to comfortably cross ₹9 cr, pushing the film further into the successful zone.
Trade experts suggest that while Jolly LLB 3 has already sealed its status as a successful venture, its second weekend trajectory will now be largely dependent on metros and the Hindi belt, as OG sweeps South India. Looking at the advance bookings, Saturday's collection is expected to cross ₹9 cr+, but achieving a full ‘hit’ status from here will be a tough task. nevertheless, the film is likely to remain a success.
