Mirzapur Review

Mirzapur is an Indian TV series which takes gory to the next level. It illustrates the tragic reality of a lot of places in India. It follows the story of Kaleen bhaiya, the godfather of all the crimes and illegal activities happening in Mirzapur. Pankaj Tripathi nailed this role to the best. He is religiously followed by a gang of goons who are ready to die on his command. Along with his family, the show also features another middle-class family that gets involved in this messy tornado of illegal activities. The show consists of all level of brutality towards fellow humans. A groom is shot mistakenly in the eye, a guy’s head is shot open till his brains start spilling out, another person’s guts are spilt out in another gruesome incident and the list just goes on. Despite all the violence, I found the show quite captivating and binge-watched the whole series. Hopefully, the makers will tone down the violence a tad bit in the second season.
