The Bombay High Court has ordered filmmakers to cut four scenes from Jolly LLB after ruling that they show lawyers in a bad light, media reports said. Jolly LLB 2 tells the story of an awkward lawyer who takes on a high-profile case in a satirical look at India's legal system. Advocate Ajay Kumar Waghmare filed a petition claiming that certain shots mocked lawyers and disrespected India's judicial system. He called for them to be cut and for "LLB" (a legal degree) to be dropped from the movie's title. The court had agreed with the petition and ruled that the film could only be screened if four cuts were made.
Newspapers said these included one showing a scared judge hiding behind a chair and another in which Kumar's character is seen jumping on a dais as he instructs his client to throw a shoe at the judge. The movie also apparently shows lawyers playing cards and dancing in court.
