After Sacred Games, director Gurmmeet Singh’s Amazon Prime Video crime thriller Mirzapur received an overwhelming response on OTT. Starring Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Vikrant Massey, Divyenndu, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Rasika Dugal, Harshita Gaur, and Kulbhushan Kharbanda in the lead roles, the storyline evolved with many main characters getting killed by the latest season.
After witnessing a significant cult following for their web series, the makers have announced the franchise’s standalone theatrical movie, Mirzapur The Film. The movie, which will hit the theatres in 2026, is already getting a lot of hype, especially since the comeback of Divyenndu aka Munna Bhaiya and Abhishek Banerjee aka Compounder is hinted at in the teaser.
With the internet already buzzing about Mirzapur The Film, here are some possible theories that could be a turning point for the franchise:
Theory 1 – Bablu Pandit’s strong comeback
Vikrant Massey’s character Bablu Pandit’s death broke many hearts. Several fans are hoping and expecting his comeback, after the appearance of the characters Munna Bhaiya and Compounder in the announcement teaser of Mirzapur The Film. Moreover, there is also a theory that Bablu Pandit might actually work hard, become an IAS officer, as he aimed in season one of the series, and come back to clean up Mirzapur. It would be interesting to see him neutralise Kaleen Bhaiya to get rid of the guns and goons of the lawless city. Just imagine if he could be the messiah Mirzapur needs!

Theory 2 – Controlled violence
Another Reddit fan comment questions if the raw violence can be continued in a theatrical release? Quite evidently, gore and bloodshed were the core factors of the show. Mirzapur is not Mirzapur without it. With things getting dialed down tone to gain the censor board’s clearance, the plot could become limited to controlled violence, sailing the ship mostly on the basis of strong dialogues.
Theory 3 – No season 4, jump to conclusion
Mirzapur The Film could also be a hint towards the makers Excel Entertainment not planning to shoot more seasons of the show. It could act as a climax, giving a clarity and end to all the characters. With or without bringing the old characters into the picture, Mirzapur The Film can give a peaceful ending, giving away who finally sat on the throne. It will help in not stretching the franchise too much, and also giving redemption to season three.
Theory 4 – Kaleen Bhaiya never went weak
Kaleen Bhaiya aka Pankaj Tripathi was shot in the climax of season two and fans could see very less, rather a weak side of his character throughout the third season. An interesting twist would be him never getting shot and continuing his rule. With Guddu aka Ali Fazal never gaining power over the city, the fight amongst both the gangs could be continued in the film.
Here is the announcement video:
Theory 5 – No Isha Talwar and Vijay Varma
Another possible theory for the Mirzapur film could be the exit of main plot characters including Chote Tyagi aka Vijay Varma and Madhuri Yadav aka Isha Talwar. With their disappearance in the movie, there would be a huge chance of introducing fresh characters to keep the audience hooked to the screen. The new characters could be seen joining Guddu’s gang, his sister Harshita Gaur aka Dimpy Pandit’s to-be husband, Kaleen’s business partners, or another city competing with Mirzapur. An even more interesting turn would be to witness Anjun Sharma aka Sharad Shukla’s mom take revenge from everyone for killing her family.
