After a long four-year wait, the third season of Mirzapur is finally here, bringing back Ali Fazal and Pankaj Tripathi as Guddu Bhaiya and Kaleen Bhaiya. This season continues the saga of power, revenge, and violence, but does it live up to the hype? Let’s dive into what works and what doesn’t in Mirzapur Season 3.
What Works
Mirzapur Season 3 picks up right where Season 2 left off. Guddu Bhaiya (Ali Fazal) and Golu (Shweta Tripathi Sharma) are now in control of Mirzapur, enjoying their new-found power. Meanwhile, Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) is still mourning the death of his son Munna (Divyenndu), who was killed in the previous season.
The directors, Gurmmeet Singh and Anand Iyer, have done a great job using locations and visuals to bring the story to life. The breaking of Kaleen Bhaiya’s statue symbolizes the shift in power, while the scenes showing the expansion of the Mirzapur universe through Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Northern Bihar, and Nepal add a grand scale to the story.
The performances in this season are top-notch. Ali Fazal, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, and Anjumm Shharma deliver strong performances as Guddu, Golu, and Sharad, respectively. Their acting captures the tension, conflict, and desire for revenge, pulling the audience into the drama. New additions to the cast, like Vijay Varma, bring fresh energy with their layered portrayals of dark ambitions and emotional struggles.
The show’s trademark gore and violence are still very much present. The intense action scenes and shocking twists keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. If you’re a fan of the bloody and brutal side of Mirzapur, this season delivers on that front.
What Doesn’t Work
Despite the many strengths of Mirzapur Season 3, there are some issues that hold it back. One major problem is the abundance of new characters introduced this season. With so many characters and storylines, it can be hard to keep track of everything, making the plot feel a bit confusing and overcrowded.
Isha Talwar plays the role of Chief Minister Madhuri and does a good job, but there are moments when her performance seems weaker compared to the powerful role she plays. Some scenes, reminiscent of Game of Thrones, aim for shock value but might not hit the mark for everyone.
Many fans were eagerly waiting for a dramatic showdown between Kaleen Bhaiya and Guddu Bhaiya, but that confrontation is largely missing from this season. Instead, Pankaj Tripathi’s Kaleen Bhaiya takes a backseat, letting the younger characters and new rivalries take center stage. This shift might disappoint viewers who were hoping for a more direct clash between the two main characters.
Rasika Dugal, who plays Beena Tripathi, is compelling as always, but her character feels underdeveloped this season. Priyanshu Painyuli’s role as Robin also feels underused, missing the impact he had in the previous season.
The season’s finale is another letdown. It lacks the dramatic payoff that fans might have been expecting, leaving some viewers wondering if the build-up was worth it. The relentless pace of the show leads to a somewhat unsatisfying conclusion, with a few loose ends left untied.
Overall Verdict
In summary, Mirzapur Season 3 is a mixed bag. It continues to deliver high drama, intense violence, and strong performances from its cast. The direction and visuals are impressive, and the season maintains the series’ reputation for shocking and bloody action.
However, the season struggles with a crowded storyline, weaker performances in some key roles, and a finale that fails to live up to expectations. Despite these flaws, it still offers an engaging viewing experience, especially for fans of the series. If you enjoy intense drama and don’t mind some predictability, you’ll find Mirzapur Season 3 worth watching.
