Sapthagiri LLB Review: A young man Rohit from an extremely rich and influential family, in an inebriated state, runs over six beggars sleeping on the pavement, in his luxury car. Leading lawyer of the day Rajpal (Sai Kumar) gets Rohit exonerated of all charges. However, Sapthagiri (Sapthagiri), a small-time lawyer thirsting for success files a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) alleging that justice has not been done. The case is reopened and Sapthagiri is put to the test against an opponent who has never been defeated. In the process, he succumbs to the lure of money earning the wrath of those who stood by him and believed in him. Sapthagiri then has a moment of epiphany and he decides to be true to himself rather than subverting justice. What follows then is a courtroom battle, a war between right and wrong and the mighty and the meek. How David ends up defeating Goliath, forms the crux of the story.

Sapthagiri LLB is a remake of the Bollywood blockbuster Jolly LLB and more or less stays true to the original. The difference is in terms of the presentation of the lead character. Without disturbing the plot, director Charan Lakkaakula has inserted some fight and song sequences (shot in exotic locales) to portray Sapthagiri as a mainstream hero. With a proven script, he has made a few adjustments to the story to suit the nativity factor but the objective is clear: Establishing Sapthagiri, the leading comedian of Tollywood as a commercial hero ala Suneil. Those who come to the theatres expecting a generous dose of comedy because of Sapthagiri playing the lead role, will be disappointed as there is not much scope for it although Shakalaka Shankar does provide a few laughs in the first half. Sapthagiri does a decent job but the show-stealers are clearly Sai Kumar and Shiva Prasad who plays the judge. These roles were portrayed by Bomman Irani and Saurabh Shukla in the original and it’s not an easy job to step into their shoes. But Sai Kumar and Shiva Prasad have done an outstanding job. Kashish Vohra does not have a substantial role whereas Gollapudi Maruti Rao and LB Sriram impress in their cameoS.

Watch Sapthagiri LLB for some powerhouse performances by Sai Kumar and Shiva Prasad. But be warned: If you are looking for a laugh riot, then this certainly is not.
