Mirzapur: The Movie

“I quite enjoyed Mirzapur The Movie because it knows how to stay in its lane, papering over its flabby bits with continual speedy spurts and an intriguing climax.”

“A sprawling, bloody underworld drama with a sharp twist, though the film struggles to justify its expansion beyond the series' proven formula.”

“A film has been born from the world of Mirzapur, which promises the same 8-year-old sensation. An abundance of cliffhanger moments, the spectacle of 'Guddu-Munna', Mirzapur: The Movie is a fun treat for fans.”

“Mirzapur: The Movie knows its audience, and more importantly, it knows what that audience wants. There are enough callbacks to make fans grin and enough new twists to prevent the whole thing from feeling like a recycled season. At least this time, the investment comes with a big-screen payoff.”

“MIRZAPUR THE MOVIE is a paisa vasool big-screen entertainer”

“Mirzapur: The Movie takes the familiar madness of the series, brings back all the key players, puts them on a much bigger canvas, and gives it a big screen swagger. The cast, once again, remains the biggest reason to invest in the world of Mirzapur, and the climax is terrific and gives the drama the payoff it needs.”

“... an engrossing gangster action drama that successfully brings the beloved world of Mirzapur to the big screen. Strong performances from the lead cast, powerful dialogues, humor, intense face-offs, and a massy second half with theatrical moments make it a good watch.”

“Ultimately, Mirzapur: The Movie works best not as a replacement for the series but as a companion piece to it. It does not have the luxury of the show's sprawling character development, nor does it fundamentally alter the mythology. What it offers instead is the pleasure of returning to a familiar world and seeing its inhabitants before we knew what they would become.”

“Mirzapur The Movie is here to create a stir... and it will. There's violence, strong characters, a great story, and most importantly, a whole lot of masala that will appeal to a mass audience. If you love the world of Mirzapur, this film won't disappoint. It's worth seeing in theaters.”

“Bigger scale, familiar chaos and bhaukaal still alive, mostly”

“'Mirzapur: The Movie' serves as an engaging, albeit lengthy, cinematic side-quest that enriches the established universe and hints at future developments in the series timeline”

“Mirzapur: The Movie has arrived in theatres, but is it worth your time?”

“Director Gurmmeet Singh takes us to an earlier, wishful point in the franchise's timeline, preceding major character deaths, when a certain alliance still seemed possible.”

“Mirzapur: The Movie is a fan service film where Ravi Kishan steals the show, delivering a competent but predictable continuation that relies heavily on existing loyalties rather than fresh storytelling.”

“Happy to see more of the same? That is exactly what you'll get. Any newness is done with, with elan.”

“Mirzapur: The Movie tried hard to make the seamless transition from OTT to cinema that the franchise deserved. It has enough masala, performances and nostalgia to make it a one-time watch, but the throne deserved a tighter contender.”

“The makers play it safe throughout. They lean hard on the familiar beats, the old energy, the violence and the nostalgia. Yet if you are hoping for something that matches the peak of the first two seasons, this is not it.”

“The film has moved from OTT to theatres with a parallel story set alongside season one. The film revives key characters and delivers familiar chaos, though its scale proves overindulgent.”

“Would I’ve preferred a lazier recliner, instead? Hell, yeah. If that’s my only regret from this picture, that’s not bad at all.”

“The film offers a nostalgic, action-packed experience that remains a solid pick for loyal series fans.”

“Mirzapur: The Movie entertains you in parts. The movie tests your patience frequently due to a sluggish pace, a loose screenplay, and a lengthy runtime. Only the performances hold your attention and keep you hooked.”

“Mirzapur is flawed because making an OTT or TV series and creating a proper theatrical experience are two completely different things. Gurmmeet Singh seems to lack the theatrical understanding required to shape a film specifically for the big screen. Despite several issues, the film has decent watch value for its loyal fans; rather, I'd say it has been made only and only for them.”

“Mirzapur: The Movie brings the franchise's crime, revenge, power games and rivalry to the big screen. Pankaj Tripathi and Ravi Kishan lead the gritty drama with strong performances, action and intense face-offs, but its success depends on whether it matches the series' madness.”

“Much like Ramesh Sippy's Sholay and Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, the plot of Gurmeet Singh's Mirzapur is ultimately just scaffolding; the characters are the architecture, and the dialogues lend it vibrant color. Overall, it is an engaging experiment.”

“The film version stands on its own bloodied feet. The extraction of the show's most entertaining aspects while also introducing a couple of new arcs, and the decision to use the same actors with one notable exception, give Mirzapur The Movie both the element of comforting familiarity and the thrill of surprise.”
