Mirzapur, the Amazon Prime web series that stormed onto the scene in 2018, has become a blockbuster. Its raw portrayal of the underbelly of power, revenge, and bloodshed in the fictional city of Mirzapur resonated with the audience, really well. Seemingly, the show's success lies in its ability to weave a complex narrative, rife with morally ambiguous characters and unforeseen twists, all set against the backdrop of a ruthless criminal landscape.
This time too, with Pankaj Tripathi at the helm including Ali Fazal, Shweta Tripathi, Divyendu Sharma, and Rasika Dugal — the fans are eagerly waiting for the imminent arrival of season 3 in March 2024. So let's explore the world of Mirzapur, which has cemented its place as a must-watch for binge-watchers.
All you need to know about Mirzapur Season 3
The cast of Mirzapur 3
Mirzapur fam! The cast of this season is kickass, yes that's right, the OG himself, Pankaj Tripathi, will come back as the man, the myth, the legend – Kaleen Bhaiya! Honestly, we wouldn't have Mirzapur without him, right?
But Kaleen Bhaiya isn't alone. Remember Guddu Pandit, the guy with revenge burning brighter than a Mirzapur summer? Ali Fazal is back to suit up for another round! And let's not forget Munna Tripathi, played by the amazing Divyenndu Sharma. Season 2 left us hanging with his fate – any guesses on what crazy thing he'll do next?
The girl squad's coming back in full force too! Rasika Dugal is returning as the ever-so-cunning Beena Tripathi, and Shweta Tripathi Sharma will be back as the ambitious Golu Gupta. These ladies are anything but damsels in distress and trust me, you don't want to mess with them.
Mirzapur 3 release date
Remember that agonizing wait between Mirzapur seasons 1 and 2? Yeah, that torture session started all over again when filming for season 3 kicked off in July 2023! Ever since then, it's been radio silence – or should we say, the deafening roar of fans desperately craving more details.
Well, hold onto your desi gangster hats, because the wait is almost over! Reports are swirling that season 3 is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video in the final week of March 2024. Mark your calendars, folks, because this is intel you don't want to miss!
Why is Mirzapur so famous and you should watch it, if you haven't?
Unlike some shows set in the criminal underworld, Mirzapur avoids excessive glamorization. The violence is brutal and unflinching, the characters are flawed and morally ambiguous, and the consequences of their actions are severe. This sense of realism adds a layer of authenticity to the narrative, drawing viewers deeper into the gritty world of Mirzapur.
The show also excels in its portrayal of the socio-political landscape influencing the criminal world. The interplay between the established mafia families, the rise of new contenders, and the political machinations that underpin these conflicts paint a complex picture of power and control.
