Mirzapur 3: Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal’s Prime Video series returns with more boredom, less ‘Bhaukaal’

Mirzapur Season 3

The gritty gangster drama Mirzapur has returned for a third season after a four-year hiatus. Ali Fazal and Pankaj Tripathi reprised their iconic roles as Guddu Pandit and Kaalin Bhaiya respectively. However, this season struggles to recapture the magic of the first two, offering more violence but less Bhaukaal.

  • This season, Mirzapur upped the ante on violence, featuring even more bloodshed and gore than in previous installments.
  • The plot falters at times, juggling too many characters and predictable plot points.
  • Despite the weak story, the show benefits from strong performances by the cast, particularly Fazal and Tripathi.
  • The first half of the season managed to keep the audience interested, but the momentum started to lag later on.

The show is credited for pioneering the use of violence and dark themes in Indian web series.

It offers a glimpse into the underbelly of India, portraying the nexus of power, crime, and politics.

Mirzapur season 3 is a mixed bag. While the action sequences are intense, the narrative fails to deliver the same punch as earlier seasons. The show may still appeal to fans for its established characters and world-building, but newcomers might find it lacking.

Mirzapur Season 3 premiered on Amazon Prime Video
