At Mirzapur: The Movie’s trailer launch, the makers said even those who haven’t watched the series can watch the film without feeling disconnected. Talking about the movie, Harshita Gaur, who plays Dimpy Pandit, said, “People had never seen something like Mirzapur before, and they have been hooked. Every time we feel that now that it’s been three seasons, how will the audience react, they amaze us with their reaction. We didn’t feel like a movie could ever be made. The film has to go back to season 1, so the universe has to be kept in mind. This new universe is a block between episode 6 and episode 7 of season 1. When the film ends, you will see how it merges with the other seasons. Also, there are a few things that have been happening in characters’ lives that may have happened before the season existed. So you will connect the dots as to why something happened in season one based on what happened previously.”

Mirzapur: The Movie features Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Pankaj Tripathi, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Rasika Dugal, Rajesh Tailang, Anangsha Biswas, Sheeba Chadha and Harshita Gaur, who reprise their roles from the series. Jitendra Kumar, Sonal Chauhan, Ravi Kishan, Mohit Malik and Sushant Singh are the new additions to the cast.

'Mirzapur The Movie is better than the cult Season 1 & 2'

User @OptionsFlavour wrote on X, "MirzapurTheMovie is BHAUKAAL. Imagine Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones being made into movies as prequel or sequel. You’d never expect the movie to be better than the web series, when the original is already a cult classic. But Mirzapur has actually pulled it off. This movie is MASTERPIECE, better than the cult Season 1 & 2. It’s 3 hours 15 minutes long, but there is not a single boring scene. The dialogues, punchlines, humour and sarcasm are top-notch and fresh. The background music in every scene is DHANSU. Can I take the liberty of saying it’s better than Dhurandhar 1 & 2?"

'After the initial half, the story progression becomes dull'

User DarkKnight183254 shared on Reddit, "Felt Average. The initial half, where the new antagonist is set up, his character is established, and his plan to take over Mirzapur is revealed, feels interesting for a while. The comedy based on the main characters, whether through their actions or dialogues sprinkled throughout the movie, works well. Some of the moments involving Bablu, the moments between Munna and Guddu, and Beena's backstory add depth to the characters and create intrigue around Beena's future in the upcoming season. However, after the initial half, the story progression becomes dull. The initial intrigue around the antagonist and his plan dies down, his character arc feels surface-level, the moments lack tension and drama, and the twists don't have the required impact and sometimes even feel pointless. This is partly due to the known fate of the characters, as established in Season 1, which also affects the emotional connection. However, the story slightly picks up during the climax, where more character moments are added."

'Jitendra Kumar was a good replacement for Vikrant Messey'

User mahaanvinesh note on Reddit read, "It was a fun watch. You don't need to watch the series to even understand the dynamics of the characters, but you'll have more fun if you have watched at least season 1. Ali Fazal was a hulk of a character, Pankaj Tripathi & Divyenndu did what they did in the series, and Jitendra Kumar was a good replacement for Vikrant Messey imo. I haven't watched the whole series except the 1st season. So, I enjoyed all the banters between Guddu Pandit and Munna Tripathi. The chemistry between the Pandit siblings was underwhelming for me. All the characters who were already in the series have their own moments throughout the movie."

'It has everything what mirzapur fans want'

User phoenixkiller2 said via Reddit, "Just saw the movie. It's 4/5 It has everything what mirzapur fans want. They have just added songs since it's a movie. Some main characters don't have much screen time since it's going to have sequels but they're there. Very much connected to original. It could have been slightly smaller since i felt it was dragging or slow at parts. Guddu is hulk, Jittu did fine as bablu, Kaleen bhayya and Munna were brilliant. Ravi kishen was good too...took some weight of the movie and did pretty well."

Mirzapur The Movie fan reaction: 'The Mirzapur nostalgia is the biggest reason to watch this one'

X user @ShyamkrishnanB shared, "Mirzapur The Movie, which takes place between Episodes 6 & 7 of Season 1, feels exactly like one mid-season episode that got stretched like a rubber band into a 3hr 15 min movie. The film is essentially a peek into the past of the Mirzapur lore and could easily have worked as an OTT movie. The thin plot: Babban Babua Yadav (Ravi Kishan) trying to overthrow Kaleen Bhaiya under the guise of a business deal, forms the core of the story. It’s definitely great to see our beloved characters for the first time on the big screen, and the usual dark comedy, quirky dialogues and gun action are all here. But honestly, this could have been much shorter and still worked just as well. The Mirzapur nostalgia is the biggest reason to watch this one."

Mirzapur The Movie : Our verdict

Mirzapur: The Movie has received 3 stars from The Indian Express' film critic Shubhra Gupta who called it an “overlong but enjoyable ride.” The review praises the return of Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiyya, noting that his presence brings back much of the charm and energy that made the original series popular. Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Rasika Dugal and the returning cast also add weight to the film, while Ravi Kishan’s introduction brings a new dimension to the battle for the Mirzapur throne. However, the 197-minute runtime is described as a drawback, with some portions feeling rushed or unnecessary. Despite these flaws, the review concludes that the film manages to entertain through its fast-paced stretches and an “intriguing climax.” READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE

X user @SAMTHEBESTEST_ shared, "Mirzapur The Movie Review: Strictly average, strictly for fans! Mirzapur is a damn slow affair for a crime thriller and bores a lot with its slow pacing and dated conflicts. Yet, a decent-avg watch for its fans. The last 30-35 mins is where the film picks up and entertains with some action packed scenes. The romance and attempted vulgarity is of no use at all. The action sequences are poorly shot and look like serial shots. There is a part two hint in the end. Full review soon.."

Mirzapur The Movie first half review: 'A lot of over-explaining but it doesn’t detract from the first half though'

X user @_mrchaturvedi shared, "Mirzapur - First Half Review The first half is decent with at least three elevated moments. The background music is great and the handling of the movie is pretty good so far. However, there’s a lot of over-explaining which feels like a stretched web series on a big screen. This doesn’t detract from the first half though; it remains interesting thanks to the characters and some popular dialogue. Fans of web series will find it above average but if you’re neutral or unaware of the world it feels a bit stretched with just two or three genuinely high moments. The first song is unnecessary but the Vindhyavasini Mata song was good. Overall, a decent first half."

Mirzapur: The Movie 'driven by popular characters'

According to trade analyst Sharat Chandra, the film Mirzapur: The Movie could have a strong theatrical run if audience word-of-mouth turns positive. The film’s biggest advantage could be its established fan base, particularly in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, where the popularity of its three main characters is expected to translate into stronger footfalls. If the audience response remains favourable after the opening, Mirzapur: The Movie could potentially sustain its momentum beyond the first weekend.

X user @filmygautam added in his Mirzapur interval review, "Pankaj Tripathi is excellent as always. Jitendra Kumar seems to be misfit in the world and it's not about his performance but where he comes from. Casting him in this role, earlier played by Vikrant Massey, would've felt natural because Jitendra has played shades of similar character well earlier but since he is in completely different world as an actor this time, it's not completely convincing. It feels as if Jeetu Bhaiyya is playing Bablu now. The solution could have been experimenting with a slightly darker character. Pre-Interval scene sets right expectations for 2nd half."

His entry scene is fabulous and in fact his character too seems very well written and adds to the narrative. Divyenndu Sharma seems a bit underutilised so far but his (Munna Bhaiyya's) confrontation scene with JP Yadv is where the film peaks. Ali Fazal is too good and his entry got maximum cheers from the audience."

Mirzapur The Movie faces little competition at box office, Hanuman Ansh emerges as main rival

Abhishek Banerjee on violence in Mirzapur: 'A lot more gruesome violence is happening on the streets'

Addressing the criticism of violence in Mirzapur, Abhishek Banerjee told The Free Press Journal, "Critics said the same thing for Sholay, Animal and Dhurandhar. Whenever there is violence on screen, it will happen. But the reality is that whatever we see on screen, is an inspiration from life. And trust me, a lot more gruesome violence is happening on the streets. This is just a depiction of a fictitious world, fictitious characters. And as I said, that's supposed to be for fun. And audiences are smart enough to learn what they want to. It's completely subjective how an audience watches a film. And I don't think film causes violence. It's always the other way around. It's because there's so much violence in the world. In films, we have to depict that with as much honesty as we can."
