Mirzapur Season 3 is releasing today on OTT. Details inside

The much-awaited third season of Mirzapur hit the OTT screens today, July 5, after a four-year wait. It brings back its signature blend of violence, drama, and intrigue. Like the previous two seasons, this new season too will consist of 10 episodes. It will take around 5 hours to watch the entire season. If you start watching on Friday evening, you should be able to watch all the episodes by Sunday. The series is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.

However, for fans who were expecting a similar knockout like the previous seasons, the latest episode falls short on a few points, as per netizens’ reviews. The absence of key characters like Munna Bhaiya and even lesser presence of Kaleen Bhaiya leave a distinct gap in the show’s dynamics. Pankaj Tripathi’s portrayal of Kaleen Bhaiya falls short of expectations as his character seems to operate more behind the scenes than in the front row.

“In Season 3, the stakes are even higher and the screens are even bigger,” Prime Video said in a statement. “But the rules remain the same as all eyes are on the coveted throne in the fictional world of Mirzapur. The big question is whether the throne of Mirzapur will be won or snatched in a battle for power and dominance where trust is a luxury no one can afford,” he added.

Vijay Varma, who plays the role of Shatrughan Tyagi, and Shweta Tripathi Sharma, who plays the role of Golu in Mirzapur, have been open about their views on the use of foul language in Mirzapur 3. Shweta Tripathi Sharma said that their role as actors is to portray the story authentically. If the makers feel that language is essential for the integrity of the character and narrative, then it should be included with a clear purpose beyond mere entertainment or spice.

Vijay responded by expressing his personal background, noting that profanity was normal in his family. He sees it as an authentic representation of the way people speak in certain environments. Varma explained that if he were to portray his family in a film, he would retain that authenticity rather than change it, as he feels it reflects their true essence without judgment.
