Mirzapur is the biggest web series in India currently and there is no doubt about it.
So naturally, expectations were high for the third season. The cliffhanger that season 2 ended on only raised the stakes. But the end result is underwhelming to say the least.
Despite being anchored by two amazing acting performances from Ali Fazal and Vijay Varma, the show’s sluggish pace and colourless screenplay fail to rise to the occasion, giving us a promising but undercooked third act to the Kaleen Bhaiya-Guddu Bhaiya saga. Mirzapur’s third season follows the death of Munna Tripathi (Divyenndu) in an encounter that leaves the all-powerful Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) fighting for his life. The Jaunpur baahubali Sharad (Anjumm Sharma) steps in to fill the void but Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal) has taken over Mirzapur and lords over the territory.
How he navigates the challenges to his supremacy while fighting opponents like Shatrughan Tyagi (Vijay Varma) and Munna’s widow and the new UP CM (Isha Talwar) forms the crux of the story. Mirzapur starts on a sluggish note with the first three episodes barely getting any action or quickness to the.
