The last time we were in Mirzapur, Guddu Pandit by Ali Fazal had conquered the tripathis and was finally sitting on the throne that had long covered. It was supposedly the new king of Mirzapur, or so he thought, like the rest of us. But like the unexpected thugs of the city dotted with blood, which could attack him from anywhere, a “Baithak” – That would be a group of all criminals from different regions of Uttar Pradesh – appears in the image. The crime convention has an agenda: decide whether Guddu deserves the title yet, or if its contender, Shukla (Anjumm Sharma), would be a better successor (there is still no news about Kaleen Bhaiya by Pankajaj Tripathi).
As the story expands beyond Mirzapur’s borders to other cities such as Prayagraj and Varanasi, bets increase, competition intensifies and the consequences become more violent. The prize, however, remains the same: Mirzapur. In Shukla’s words, “Khel aj bhi wahi hai, bas Mohre Badal Gaye Hain” (It is still the same game, only pawns have changed). We still see many weapons and guts, exit wounds and changing loyalties, and the unique madness of the ambition and power that take over the ten episodes.
Pugo overloaded marte experienced actions
Kaleen Bhaiya of Pankaj Tripathi has been left behind in the third season
While the third season is a significant improvement on the second slow, the original showcrow of the show is still in traces, often tarnished by an overloaded and overloaded writing. The program continues to stop at the mistakes made in the previous season, with several sub -branches that swell the episodes. While eventually they could become a background necessary for the next seasons, at present, many of these do not add much value to history, except for a long time of execution so that the burning fans of the series enjoy it.
There is a particularly questionable scene in which Zaheera (Anangsha Biswas), the former Bhojpuri dancer turned into a politic endlessly. . Instead of taking measures against this objectification, she launches an obscene performance in exchange for 100 women to enroll in the scheme. Umm, what?
There is also a sensual scene at the end of the season, which seems completely out of place and should not. While Mirzapur has never reharmed to include bold scenes in the past, they often add meat to history, unlike this.
Mirzapur’s characters are still the highlight
Shweta Tripathi has brilliantly rehearsed Golu’s role
Despite the stretched writing, there are a handful of sequences in which the original essence of the program finds its return path, especially those with Guddu Bhaiya, leaving you longing for. In the second episode, when we see it break into a manic laugh after killing someone, we transport ourselves instantly to the first season where the newly coined Henchman began to enjoy the spill of blood.
Filling the emptiness of his late smart brother, Bablu Pandit (Vikrant Massey), is Golu (Shweta Tripathi), his sister -in -law. Once an idealistic university topper, Golu is now a dangerous chewing thug of tobacco, which is perpetually surrounded by a cane of armed loyal men. She gives wisdom to the Hotheade Guddu, as Bablu used to do.
Other main characters have also evolved. Shukla is more cautious with her movements than ever, Beren once and for all, uprooting the concept of “Mirzapur Ki Gaddi”.
However, the most drastic change comes in the arch of Kaleen Bhaiya of Pankaj Tripathi, the mafia who started everything. From the ruthless gangster we know, it has become a afflicted father who seems to have renounced everything. Its limited screen time creates a scathing vacuum that probably disappoints the loyal ones of the series.
Rasika has a smaller but shocking screen time in the third season
In addition to the disappointment, manufacturers seem to have undermined the intelligence of the audience, with too descriptive and very dramatic dialogues. It is curious how almost all the characters seem obsessed to describe their profession, again and again, just in case. If it is Lala in the loop that he is a businessman, with a small speech on the features of a “Vyapari” In tow, or an aspiring poet who erases things like “How a poet like me will pay a defender”, the characters are too interested in clinging to their monochromatic identities?
However, an area where the show has managed to shine is its subtle change in the power of patriarchal figures to powerful women who are no less than their male counterparts. Whether it is the main prime minister of Isha Talwar or the new Golu avatar that breaks into Gangster’s den, the program regularly delivers the agency to its women.
In one of the scenes in which an old minister questions his ability as a main minister, Isha’s character remains quietly and politely gives an adequate response, reassuring her well -gained position.
But I wish Rasika Duggal would have given more screen time, given the star performance he gave previously. In the limited scenes he has this time, Duggal has once again left a brand with a nuanced performance.
Ali Fazal is the show star
This time we get an intriguing look inside the Guddu psyche
Mirzapur also offers many satirical shots. We see a politician pronouncing “Karuna” (Compassion) as “Corona” and then get angry with the writer for giving him a complex speech written in a tone that no one uses in real life. We even listen to snails and temple bells in the background, while people take advantage of mercilessly. The well -executed black humor will leave you laughing.
The show is also full of rich visual metaphors. At one point, it slips intelligently into a small scene in which we see Kaleen Bhaiya, who is now in a position similar to Guddu, supporting a cane, as well as the one that served Guddu Bhaiya during the previous season, which It means the dynamic power change.
This time, Mirzapur also finally takes advantage of the reasons behind this violent killing that takes care of the best parts of the country. This is done through the character of Ramakant Pandit, which is now face to face with the harsh realities to trust the broken system.
While spending his days in prison and meets several “criminals”, the reality of the law versus justice hits him hard. However, their accomplishments feel ironic; As a lawyer in exercise that deals with similar cases in the day to day, it must already be quite aware of the defects that affect the criminal justice system.
Although Pandit still defends his morals and principles, he is now not sure what justice could. There is an interesting conversation between him and Guddu in the seventh episode where the father and son are seen questioning their ways of addressing life and looking for respite in the way of doing so. The scene removed the layers to dig up something deeply buried and ended up with me long after the credits rolled.
The mystery behind which of the two twins performed by Vijay Varma has survived throughout the season
While all actors seem to have done justice to their roles, despite a somewhat unstable script, Ali Fazal stands out especially. It has been effortlessly in the skin of a Hunky thug, who does not know better than letting emotions take over it. The way in which he rapidly swings between the two personalities, almost as if he had a controller for his brain, is impressive.
We even managed to take a look at his internal monologue, while fighting to find his way to the murky world in which he has entered. There is a scene in the eighth episode in which we see Guddu with horror for what he has done. Fazal has never been more element. Although homicide has always been Guddu’s fort, this time offers everyone’s most horrible act and is instantly assumed for disbelief and crisis.
Isha’s character is still as assertive and determined as before.
However, despite powerful actions and a charged accumulation, we stay in the end. We have many shocking revelations, which leave space for a lot of unanswered questions. All threads are loose, with several open doors so that the characters conveniently return to future seasons. Clearly, manufacturers want to collect the immense popularity of the series with headquarters inside and expand the franchise by immersing the feet fingers in the crime unions in other parts of Uttar Pradesh or even in other places. There is also an average credit scene in which we see an unexpected conversation between two prominent characters, which could cancel the entire game in the next seasons. While there may be a lot in the minds of manufacturers for expansion, do we still need more?
