Mirzapur: The Movie Review

The biggest advantage of Mirzapur: The Movie is its connection with the original series. Rather than completely changing the formula, the film brings the familiar world of power struggles, revenge, violence, dark humour and the battle for the Mirzapur throne to the big screen.

Pankaj Tripathi remains one of the film’s biggest strengths. His return as Kaleen Bhaiya gives the story much of its old flavour, while Ali Fazal continues to bring intensity to Guddu Pandit. Divyenndu’s Munna also remains an important part of the franchise’s appeal.

Ravi Kishan is another standout performer. His presence adds a fresh layer to the power struggle and provides several entertaining moments.

Critics have particularly praised the performances, dialogues, action and the film’s climax. The Indian Express described Pankaj Tripathi as the film’s anchor and found the movie enjoyable despite its lengthy runtime.

Another review from Bollywood Hungama highlighted the performances, mass moments, dialogues and finale, calling the film a big-screen entertainer.

What Works in Mirzapur: The Movie?

The film works best when it stays close to the elements that made the franchise popular.

Powerful Performances

Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu and Ravi Kishan carry much of the film’s entertainment value. Their familiarity with the characters makes the transition from the series to the big screen relatively natural.

Action and Mass Moments

The movie has been designed for the theatrical audience. The action sequences, confrontations and power struggles provide several whistle-worthy moments for fans.

The Mirzapur Nostalgia

For people who have followed the series, seeing these characters together again is one of the biggest attractions. The film understands that its audience already has an emotional connection with the franchise.

Where Does the Film Struggle?

The biggest criticism is the length of the film. At nearly three hours and 20 minutes, Mirzapur: The Movie can feel stretched in certain portions.

The story also depends heavily on the established Mirzapur universe. Viewers unfamiliar with the series may not connect with the characters and their complicated relationships as strongly as longtime fans.

Some critics have also pointed out that the film does not always maintain a consistent pace.

Is Mirzapur: The Movie Worth Watching?

If you are already a Mirzapur fan, the movie is definitely worth considering for the theatrical experience.

The return of Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit and Munna, combined with the action, humour and power politics, gives longtime viewers plenty to enjoy.

However, if you have never watched the series, the film may not have the same impact because much of its emotional weight comes from the characters and events established in the franchise.

Final Verdict

Mirzapur: The Movie successfully brings the franchise’s familiar “bhaukaal” to theatres. Pankaj Tripathi once again proves why Kaleen Bhaiya remains one of the most popular characters in the series, while Ali Fazal, Divyenndu and Ravi Kishan add enough energy to keep the power struggle entertaining.

The lengthy runtime and occasional pacing issues prevent it from being a flawless theatrical experience, but for existing Mirzapur fans, the film delivers enough action, drama, humour and nostalgia.

Bol Bollywood Rating: 3.5/5

With approximately Rs 71.64 crore already collected in India net, the film is now within touching distance of the Rs 75 crore mark. If the strong audience response continues after the opening weekend, Mirzapur: The Movie could have a substantial theatrical run ahead.
