The third film in the popular franchise pits two Jollies against each other in the courtroom, both trying to win cases in their own way--bending rules, using technical loopholes, and clashing over who is the real Jolly in the legal world.

This time, the story revolves around a case involving struggling farmers whose lands are being seized by a dishonest businessman, played by Gajraj Rao. Akshay Kumar character finds himself in trouble when he lands on the wrong side of the case, leading to a series of chaotic and witty exchanges with Arshad Warsi.

Alongside the lead duo, the film features Huma Qureshi, Saurabh Shukla, Amrita Rao, Seema Biswas, Ram Kapoor, Gajraj Rao, Shilpa Shukla, Brijendra Kala, and others in key roles.
