MOVIE REVIEW: Mirzapur The Movie is exactly what fans of the franchise would expect, a thoroughly entertaining, massy and dialogue-heavy cinematic ride that brings the much-loved characters of Mirzapur to the big screen. For those who have followed the series, the film is a treat, while even viewers unfamiliar with the Mirzapur universe can enjoy it as a standalone cinematic experience.
After building a massive fan following through its web-series format, bringing Mirzapur to the big screen was always going to be a challenging proposition. Puneet Krishna’s story may not be exceptionally novel, but it is highly engaging, primarily because it revolves around characters who are inherently fascinating. The familiarity of these characters gives the drama an instant advantage, while the standalone nature of the narrative ensures that newcomers aren’t left completely clueless.
The screenplay is fast-paced, entertaining and engaging. There is very little room for the film to become dull, and the narrative keeps the audience involved throughout. The writing might not offer anything radically new, but it doesn’t really need to. The film understands the entertainment value of its characters and uses them effectively. And then there are the dialogues that are absolutely extraordinary.
Gurmmeet Singh successfully translates the distinctive Mirzapur atmosphere onto the big screen without losing the identity of the franchise. What works particularly well is Singh’s understanding of the characters. He allows the performers to own their moments while ensuring that the narrative never loses momentum. The action set-pieces are another major highlight. John Stewart Eduri’s background score is terrific. It complements the action and drama extremely well.
The performances are arguably the film’s biggest USP. Pankaj Tripathi is extraordinary as Kaleen Bhaiya. His controlled screen presence and dialogue delivery make every appearance count. Ali Fazal is amazing and delivers perhaps his massiest performance to date. Divyenndu is simply mind-blowing as Munna Tripathi. His dialogue delivery is the best among the entire cast. Jitendra Kumar is impressive as Bablu Pandit. Ravi Kishan shines in the negative role and fits comfortably into the world of Mirzapur. Abhishek Banerjee lends decent support as Compounder. A special mention for Satendra Soni, who is too good as Chandu Puncture.
Among the female characters, Rasika Dugal gets one of the better-written female roles in the film and makes the most of every opportunity. Mohit Malik and Shaji Choudhary make their mark, while Pramod Pathak leaves a fine impression. Sheeba Chaddha once again proves her ability to make even limited screen time memorable. Other supporting cast Rajesh Tailang, Shubhrajyoti Barat, Sushant Singh, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Shweta Tripathi, Harshita Gaur, Anangsha Biswas and Sonal Chauhan are good in their respective limited roles. Kulbhushan Kharbanda also has his moments.
Mirzapur The Movie is a very good entertainer that delivers what it promises. The film succeeds because of its engaging screenplay, extraordinary dialogues, terrific performances, impressive direction, high-octane action and the sheer popularity of its characters. At a time when several franchise films struggle to justify their theatrical transition, Mirzapur The Movie understands its audience and gives them exactly what they came for — drama, action, attitude, humour and unforgettable characters.
