In a first, a special screening of Pakistani blockbuste­r movie Bol will be held at Patiala House courts complex on Thursday. The screening has been organised by the New Delhi Bar Associatio­n (NDBA) for its members.

Along with the Pakistani movie, Akshay Kumar-starrer Jolly LLB-2 will also be screened. NDBA secretary Neeraj Kumar said that the movies would be shown for the entertainm­ent of the advocates. The NDBA has also issued a circular regarding the special screening of both the movies.

It is learnt that the NDBA has spoken to the distributo­rs of the two movies and has requested them to make arrangemen­t for the special shows. The distributo­rs are said to have accepted the request.

A circular issued by the NDBA said, “Pakistani drama film Bol will be screened at 11.30 am and the Hindi movie Jolly LLB-2, a courtroom drama which satirises the notion of the Indian legal system, will be shown at 2.30 pm at the Central Hall, Patiala House courts. Both the films will be shown in big screen in a movie hall-like atmosphere.”

Bol, a critical and commercial success, is based on the life of a religious family facing financial difficulti­es, with a major plot involving the father’s refusal to accept his transgende­r son, which creates a conflict within the family and ends up tearing them apart.
