Akshay and Arshad enthralled the audience with the third installment of courtroom drama. The film is based on Smart-alec Jolly Mishra and jugadu Jolly Tyagi's clash in Judge Tripathi's court.

The film performed well in its opening weekend, but witnessed an over 70 per cent drop on Monday. The film earned ₹5.5 crore at the box office, taking the total to ₹59 crore.

The actor will be next seen in Bhooth Bangla, which marks his reunion with director Priyadarshan. The film also stars  Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani. It is slated to hit the theatres in April 2026.
