Though there was no big release clashing with Akshay Kumar-Huma Qureshi's film, it didn't have a blockbuster opening. Just before hitting the screens, Jolly LLB 2 landed in legal soup, after Bombay High Court ordered deletion of four scenes, Jaipur Court summoned the protagonist for distorting the profession of  lawyer. The makers decided to move Supreme Court but later on accepted the edits ordered by HC.
