Abstract: We present UBVRI photometry of the SN 2010jl in UGC 5189, obtained in the period from November 14, 2010 until November 11, 2012. We study the photometric evolution of SN 2010jl using our data and published photometry and determine the parameters of the light curves. We find a significant discrepancy between different data sets in the V band and discuss its possible origin. We compare the absolute V-band light curves of SN 2010jl and other luminous type IIn SNe and present evidence that SN 2005kd is the most similar object to SN 2010jl considering the evolution of luminosity.
