Subhash Kapoor’s “Jolly LLB” from 2013 was a middling film saved by the comic timing of leading man Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla, who played the amiable but eccentric judge. In “Jolly LLB 2”, Kapoor makes some cosmetic changes to the script and replaces his leading man, but thankfully keeps Shukla. Warsi makes way for Akshay Kumar and Delhi replaces Lucknow as the setting, but the rest of story is rather predictable. For a film that is about the law, Kapoor plays surprisingly little attention to details of the legal process. Perhaps, he deliberately chose to do away with them in favour of introducing unnecessary drama to the plot. Kumar plays Jolly, a bumbling lawyer and a lowly assistant to one of the city’s top legal eagles. His lack of scruples and his ambition to rise to the top results in the suicide of Hina (Sayani Gupta), a young, pregnant woman who is seeking justice for the custodial death of her husband. Wracked by guilt, Jolly turns over a new leaf and dedicates himself to prosecuting the corrupt police officer responsible for the murder. In his quest for justice, Jolly goes to extreme lengths – rescuing a key witness from prison in Jammu and Kashmir, making deals with a police officer and even risking being disbarred. So loud are the theatrics in the film, and so absent is any semblance of a coherent storyline that we actually have the opposition lawyer sitting on a dharna (strike) when he doesn’t agree with the judge, and people walking in and out of the witness box without so much as a notice. Even if you discount the factual inconsistencies, Kapoor’s tale doesn’t have much meat as an emotional film or a compelling courtroom drama given the needless detours the screenplay takes. Kumar’s deadpan humour and Shukla’s wonderful turn as the droll judge whose bumbling demeanour hides a tough interior provide some bright sparks, but the rest of the film doesn’t live up to these standards. Annu Kapoor hams it up as a lawyer who hands out rate cards and charges clients even for the tea they drink in his office. Huma Qureshi, who plays Jolly’s wife, is in the film only to clap when her husband delivers his sermons in court. The verdict, in this case, isn’t in Jolly’s favour.

Donald Trump is considering a new executive order to ban citizens of certain countries from travelling to the US after his initial attempt was overturned in the courts. Mr Trump told reporters on Air Force One that a "brand new order" could be issued as early as Monday or Tuesday, reports BBC. It comes after an appeals court in San Francisco upheld a court ruling to suspend his original order. It barred entry from citizens from seven mainly Muslim countries. It is unclear what a new US immigration order might look like. Mr Trump said that it would change "very little", but he did not provide details of any new ban under consideration. Despite his suggestion on Friday, Mr Trump's administration may still pursue its case in the courts over the original order, which was halted a week ago by a Seattle judge. "We'll win that battle," Mr Trump told reporters, adding: "The unfortunate part is it takes time. We'll win that battle. But we also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order." A unnamed judge from the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which on Thursday upheld the stay on the original order, has called on all 25 judges of that court to vote on whether to hear the appeal again. Technically known as an en banc review, a second hearing of the case would involve an 11-judge panel, rather than the three initially heard the appeal. Mr Trump's travel ban, which was hastily unveiled at the end of his first week in office, caused chaos at US airports and sparked protests across the country. On Thursday, the appeals court said the administration failed to offer "any evidence" to justify the ban, which the president said was necessary to keep the US safe from terror attacks. However Mr Trump insisted that the executive order was crucial for national security and promised to take action "very rapidly" to introduce "additional security" steps in the wake of the court's decision. He spoke as Virginia state lawyers argued in court that his policy "resulted from animus toward Muslims". Their challenge focuses on the travel restrictions imposed by the ban, rather than the four-month suspension of refugee admissions. But lawyers for the US government in Virginia wrote that "judicial second-guessing" amounted to "an impermissible intrusion" on Mr Trump's constitutional authority. The appeals court ruling means that visa holders from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen can continue to enter the US, and refugees from around the world, who were also subject to a temporary ban, are no longer blocked either. But the ruling does not affect one part of Mr Trump's controversial executive order: a cap of 50,000 refugees to be admitted in the current fiscal year, down from the ceiling of 110,000 established under his predecessor, Barack Obama.  ....
