Mirzapur Season 3 Rating: 1.75/5
Mirzapur has become a huge blockbuster with its first season. Guddu, Munna, Kaleen characters have become highly popular. Several sequences and scenes have become memes and gone viral, too. The makers have taken a bold decision to kill off fan favorite Munna bhayya character, at the end of Season 2. So, how do the makers plan to take forward the season 3. Also, they took 4 years to bring this one to us. Let’s discuss about the season 3 in detail, here.
The plot of Mirzapur Season 3 follows revenge of Guddu and his rise to power. The major drawback lies in creators trying to give meme material more than organic character moments. Everything looks broad and too elongated for the purpose of it. Intense drama doesn’t mean to slow down the pace to the level of feeling dragged out to bits. Even on your easy chair viewing, you can feel the pace being too sluggish and more or less trying too hard.
The way second season tried to push Munna and Guddu conflict to next level, you try to take sides. Here, you are left with Kaleen and Guddu’s clash with several others being added, randomly. The intensity starts to give away to unnecessary characters taking over. Many characters just fail to breathe after a point and we tend to feel same suffocation for most of the part. The revenge plots and sub-plots turn out to be so predictable and underwhelming that you just don’t want to be connected to this place.
The political musical chair play also starts fizzling out. The fizz that first season offered is lost in this season 3. Mirzapur Season 3 needed far more superior tightness and focus. It keeps falling out and failing to establish main conflict as it should. On the whole, this season 3 is completely forgettable and underwhelming to the highest order. Well, as the next season is said to be set in stone, hope the makers try to learn from these mistakes.
Positives:
Few sequences
Ensemble performances
Negatives:
Forced emotions
Highly unfocused narrative
Too Predictable and draggy screenplay
Unnecessary intimate scenes
Mirzapur Season 3 Bottom-line: Just Fizzles out
