Mirzapur Season 3 starts where the last season ends – it begins with the funeral of Munna where you actually see the body being engulfed in the fire and thankfully you don’t see the body burning away – perhaps such scenes are kept away for the fourth season when the murders would be more gruesome and scenes more shocking – if there indeed is one more season that is.
Mirzapur’s new season has its share of violence and more as expected – and the characters like that of Golu and Guddu more ruthless. However, as the season progresses monotony sets in as drama unfolds with a lot of dialogues going back and forth. Amidst this is the fight for the throne of Mirzapur that is now between Guddu and Sharad Shukla who are advised there must be no more bloodshed until they use other methods to prove they are able enough to be the don of Purvanchal not just Mirzapur.
Meanwhile Ramakant Pandit ends up in jail and after much persuasion, decides to fight his own case. Golu and Guddu try to figure out where Sharad must have kept away Kaleen Bhaiyya. Only one of the twins is alive who is with Sharad. The business man Lala too is in jail and waiting to get bail, while his daughter Shabnam is left to face the troubles. Chief Minister is hell bent on making Pradesh crime mukt (free).
The rest of the Season is about how and if Guddu will become the Bahubali and who will survive the season and make it to Season 4. It has its thrills and edge of the seat action as it progresses towards the latter half of the episodes. Except for a few scenes and characters that appear forced in their demeanor to make them look in a certain way – more or less Mirzapur strikes the target almost. That it is predictable in large parts not withstanding – the brilliance of most actors keeps the drama going good. ‘Most’ is evidently the key here.
Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Shweta Tripathi, Vijay Varma and Isha Talwar the cast of Mirzapur Season 3 that has 10 episodes – their usual best. Madam Gaja Gamani took too much effort to look fierce & goon- ish – and is again ‘mostly’ good.
