Mirzapur As Movie- A Risky Idea?

Mirzapur is one of the popular Indian web series on Amazon Prime Video. The show has three seasons and the streaming platform already commissioned the fourth season. Now, interestingly, the team decided to bring Mirzapur into a single film with a new story and treatment, aiming for a 2026 release.

Given the extensive fanbase who have enjoyed Mirzapur on digital platforms, there will be doubts on its success. People have already witnessed the world of Mirzapur in and out.

However, the makers are focusing on creating a fresh narrative. The idea is to retain the essence of the original, introduce new dimensions to the characters and storyline. It might be an impressive strategy to pull the franchise fans to theatres.

If this strategy succeeds, it could open doors for other Indian web series like The Family Man and Scam 1992 to make similar transitions. The challenge lies in condensing Mirzapur’s narrative into a shorter cinematic format, likely around two to three hours, while maintaining the show’s appeal.

The latest announcement teaser that the makers dropped hints at the plot revolving around the Munna Tripathi’s character. They want to release the film in the year 2026. The team is taking two years for the filming and they hope that the franchise fans would shower love in theatres.
