Mirzapur Season 3 has finally arrived after a long wait, and it delivers a gritty, gory, and explosive continuation of the series. While the first couple episodes may test your patience with a slower pace as the show reintroduces characters and storylines, it soon picks up steam and finds its footing.
The performances are top-notch, with Ali Fazal delivering a towering turn as Guddu Pandit. His rapid descent into madness is portrayed superbly. Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiyaa is not the highlight in the earlier episodes but shines in the later parts. Rasika Dugal as Beena Tripathi is given a great character arc, though it feels a bit underwhelming compared to season 2. Harshita Shekhar Gaur as Dimpy has one of the most satisfying character arcs.

The plot of Mirzapur season 3 is engaging, with new characters introduced and plenty of bloodshed. Madhuri Yadav, played by Isha Talwar, uses her husband Munna’s death to gain political power. Ramakant Pandit’s decision to turn himself in to the police despite Guddu’s pleas adds an interesting moral dilemma.

However, some viewers feel the show misses Divyendu’s Munna Tripathi, who they believe carried the series. There are also mixed reactions on Twitter, with some appreciating the performances while others feel it could have been better.
Overall, Mirzapur Season 3 is a solid continuation of the series, though it may not surpass the heights of the first two seasons for some viewers. The show takes its time to build up but delivers an engaging, gritty, and explosive experience by the end.
