Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi Starrer Is A Compelling Watch Despite Stretched Storyline

2024-07-05 02:45:02

Mirzapur Season 3 review: Mirzapur began with a bang, delivering thrills in the first season, slightly less in the second, and even less in the third. While the essence remains, the latest season lacks the intensity of the previous ones. Nevertheless, if you’re a fan of Mirzapur, it’s worth a watch. Here’s a breakdown of what’s good and what’s not so good. 

Plot

Munna Bhaiya is gone, Kaleen Bhaiya is in a coma, and Guddu Bhaiya sits on the throne of Mirzapur. Yet, the battle for power in Purvanchal continues. Sharad Shukla and Shatrughan also eye the throne. Amidst this power struggle, a political game unfolds, with Pandit Ji facing charges for the SSP’s death. Dimpy and Robin’s love story progresses, but the central question remains: who will claim the throne and what will happen to Kaleen Bhaiya? To uncover these answers, you’ll need to watch Season 3. 

How is the series

‘Mirzapur’ has a distinct fan base, with viewers eagerly anticipating each new season. However, this season falls short compared to its predecessors. The series feels stretched, with fewer high-octane scenes and less violence. The absence of Munna Bhaiya is felt, and Kaleen Bhaiya’s impact is also reduced. While there are some entertaining scenes, they are sparse, and only a few moments are truly gripping. Fans have high expectations from Mirzapur; this season is good, but not exceptional. It’s not bad by any means, and die-hard fans will still enjoy it, though they might miss the previous seasons’ intensity. Several sequences feel overly prolonged. Guddu Bhaiya shoulders the responsibility well, bringing excitement whenever he appears, but it’s challenging for him to carry all 10 episodes alone.

Acting

Ali Fazal breathes life into Guddu Bhaiya, portraying a range of emotions and delivering powerful performances. This season rests heavily on his shoulders, and he does justice to it. Pankaj Tripathi’s role is limited, which reduces the overall thrill, though his acting remains impeccable. Rasika Dugal as Beena Bhabhi is exceptional, constantly shifting her persona with flair. Anjum’s performance is commendable, with her significant and crucial role. Vijay Varma is decent, though his character’s writing might not be as robust as expected. Shweta Tripathi Sharma excels as Golu, providing strong support to Guddu Bhaiya. Rajesh Tailang gets ample screen time and delivers convincingly. Isha Talwar fits well as the chief minister, and Lilliput impresses as Dadda. Priyanshu Painyuli’s performance is satisfactory. 

Direction

Gurmmeet Singh and Anand Iyer direct the series adequately, but expectations were higher. The series needed more intense and gripping moments, and the directors bear some responsibility for the dip in intensity. More engaging elements were needed to keep the audience hooked. 

‘Mirzapur Season 3’ is watchable. It may not be as spectacular as previous seasons, but if you’re a fan of the series, you shouldn’t miss it.

Rating: 3/5
