Mirzapur Review

What would happen if Sacred Games and Gangs of Wasseypur had a love child? The result would be Mirzapur. I have never really been an avid fan of crime thrillers or gory webseries, but Mirzapur changed my perspective completely. Boasting of brilliant casting such as Pankaj Tripathi, Rasika Duggal, Ali Fazal, Shreya Pilgaonkar, Vikrant Massey, Shweta Tripathi and humare "apne" Munna Bhaiya. The show lives upto it's hype and delivers a promising gangster story. Two brothers, recruited by the ever feared Kaleen Bhaiya fall out of Munna bhaiya's favor but climb up the ranks in Kaleen's eyes,. A show about petty revenge, uncontrolled anger, unsatiated sexual desires and the bond between two brothers makes it endearing supported by it's comic relief provided by the muscular and naive Guddu. Shweta Tripathi's character of Golu speaks fearlessness , courage and boldness in exquisitely strong way. Massey's strategic character lends him another feather in his cap of achievements for his committment to his role is downright amazing. Pankaj Tripathi does absolute justice to his role as kaleen Bhaiya. He is not just fearful but is highly tactful, intelligent but at the same time falls an easy victim to manipulation. A must watch for all the gangster thriller lovers out there.
