Audiences indulged in a binge session as Mirzapur 3 dropped at midnight, but initial reviews are disappointing.
The series burst onto screens in 2018, offering a rush of adrenaline with action, deceit, politics, and power.
Vikrant Massey’s Bablu Pandit and Pankaj Tripathi’s menacing Kaleen Bhaiya captivated fans, while Ali Fazal’s revenge-driven Guddu Pandit and Divyenndu’s compelling portrayal of Munna Bhaiya enriched season two. After a four-year wait, fans eagerly awaited Mirzapur 3, only to find it lacking.
Guddu and Kaleen Bhaiya returned alongside Rasika Dugal’s Beena Tripathi and Shweta Tripathi’s Golu, but the absence of Munna Bhaiya was keenly felt.
Despite a midnight release and a marathon viewing by many, the consensus among viewers was disappointment.
Criticisms ranged from boredom due to excessive focus on Mirzapur’s internal power struggles over ten hour-long episodes, to dissatisfaction with the thin storyline. One viewer tweeted, “Finished #MirzapurSeason3 with low expectations.
The excessive focus on Mirzapur’s throne politics over 10 long episodes made it disappointing and boring.” Another review described it as the “WEAKEST SEASON OF ALL,” criticizing its lack of purpose and unnecessary scenes.
Although a post-credit scene hinted at future developments and a potential Mirzapur Season 4, it remains uncertain if fans will await it with the same anticipation after the tepid reception of season 3.
