After a very dry run at the box office, Akshay Kumar is finally seeing a resurgence in his career in 2025 with films like Housefull 5, Sky Force and Kesari 2. His latest release Jolly LLB 3 with Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla and director Subhash Kapoor has made the year even sweeter for him. The film has minted Rs 12.50 crore as per Sacnilk, taking the 7th biggest opening of the year. With the collection the film has gone past opening day numbers of Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par ( Rs 10.7 crore) and Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4 ( Rs 12 crore). Akshay also went past his own film Sky Force – his first of the year which had collected Rs 12.25 crore. While Baaghi 4 had fizzled out after taking a good opening at the box office, but both Sky Force and Sitaare Zameen Par had gone on to collect over Rs 100 crore at the box office. From here on the journey for Jolly LLB 3 is purely dependent on its word of mouth publicity. The film has already got good reviews and the impact of it can be seen in the advance booking for Saturday.
