Mirzapur Season 3 Releases Today On OTT. Details Inside

The much-awaited third season of Mirzapur has hit OTT screens today, on July 5, after a four-year wait. It brings back its signature blend of violence, drama and intrigue. Similar to its previous two seasons, this new season will also consist of 10 episodes. It will take roughly 5 hours to watch the entire season. If you begin watching on Friday night, you should be able to finish all the episodes by Sunday. You can watch the series on Amazon Prime Video.

For fans who were expecting a similar knockout as the previous seasons, however, the latest episode falls short on a few points, as per netizens’ review. The absence of key characters like Munna Bhaiya and the even lesser presence of Kaleen Bhaiya leaves a distinct gap in the show’s momentum. 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.

“With Season 3, the stakes have gotten even higher and the screen 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 earned or snatched away in a battle for power and dominance where trust is a luxury no one can afford”, it added.

Vijay Varma, who plays the role of Shatrughan Tyagi, and Shweta Tripathi Sharma, who essays the role of Golu in Mirzapur, spoke openly about their views on the use of profanity in Mirzapur 3. Shweta Tripathi Sharma said that their role as an actor is to portray the story authentically. If the makers feel that the language is necessary for the integrity of the character and narrative, then it should be incorporated with a clear objective beyond mere entertainment or spice.

Vijay responded by expressing his personal background, noting that profanity was normalised in his family. He sees it as a genuine representation of how people speak in certain environments. Varma explained that if he were to portray his family in a film, he would maintain this authenticity rather than altering it, as he believes it reflects their true essence without judgement.
