Question: How good is this series? Answer: I finished the series in one marathon session of 7 hours. That good!

Question: Apart from a few well-known names, is the cast worthy of justifying their role(s)? Answer: You would be stunned by the acting. The actors are as good as the script. There are more number of pivotal characters than there were in "Sacred Games". You would be pleasantly surprised that all of them have been given enough screen-time and none of them are unimportant. What an ensemble! Wow!

Question: Is it better than Sacred Games? Answer: First of all, we MUST NOT compare the two series. "Crime", "Thriller", "Action" are the common genre between these two series. However, Mirzapur has done tremendous justice to it's script and carved out a niche space for itself. I had watched Sacred Games just a week before Mirzapur and after reading the panning reviews of Mirzapur, I decided not to watch it. One of my close friends - Sasi, told me to forget about the review(s) and give the first episode a try. I would like to quote him here: "It is far better than the number of stars the critics have awarded." HE WAS DAMN RIGHT. Sacred Games has used the terms of ancient Indian history (or mythology, whichever word you would like to use) to narrate the story. Mirzapur doesn't have that level of narration - Yes! ... But you would be gravely mistaken to take this point against Mirzapur. Each and every episode is gripping with sometimes gory and sometimes an undertone of humor which would never let you feel enervated. All the actors have done a phenomenal job. The women have been given lots of freedom. The documentary(ies) which BauJi keeps watching frequently, has 100% relevance in the context of the episode and the series. Everyone knows about Pankaj Tripathi's prowess. He doesn't need further introduction (nor do the others), but I would like to mention Guddu (Ali Fazal) as a revolutionary character. The way he has portrayed his passion for body-building, his dumb-wit, his self-assured and self-serving bias; it will blow the viewer away. After watching a few episodes, I had started to wonder if someone can be really so eccentric and so blind due to self-obsession. He just cares about how to live through the current moment in time, nothing else. In my humble opinion, I think that every character is a shade of different level of narcissism. Just visualize, how could a writer conceive the idea of so many narcissistic characters. ;-) If I ever meet Guddu Bhaiyya (Ali), Munna Bhaiyya (Divyendu Sharma) and Bablu Bhaiyya (Vikrant Massey), it would be extremely difficult to imagine them as a different person than their portrayal.

I would like to quote my friend again: This series is far better than the ratings you would come across on various critics' web pages.

The only reason I wrote this first-ever review on IMDb is because I could not digest the admonishing and panning of a beautiful work done by these fine actors and writers (and everyone involved in the project).

                         Disclaimer: I am from Uttar Pradesh, who lives in Bangalore. Except for acid attack, they have covered everything in the underbelly of Uttar Pradesh.

I have given it 10 start rating. Why? Because I could connect way more than its other state viewers. As game of throne, takes its inspiration from medieval Europe, this series takes its inspiration from Uttar Pradesh of 90's and early 20's (Notice the name of CM brothers for reference :P).

Now, I have grown up in that kind of environment. But, is there any form of art which has reflected it succinctly. Omkara or Ganges of Wasseypur came close, but even they tried to tone it down a bit, and acceptable for silver screen. Producing a content for digital medium, has an edge that, they didn't have to be politically correct, just to please people - and thus tinker with the spirit of the story.

That perhaps was the best part, and I watched all the episode in a single session. A pure nostalgia. From the comfort of my room here in bangalore, I was reminiscing through my childhood. Yes Uttar Pradesh is violent. Uttar Pradesh values power. The meaning of word "Bahubali" is different there. But, Uttar Pradesh is not dull state. There is a cohesion amongst all, which makes that state lively, vibrant, and politically charged. A spectacle for someone who is watching it all from a comfortable distance - not too close to get your hand burnt in it.

And this series, gave you that very experience. Keep up the good work.

                                    

Mirzapur 2 picks up its narrative from the wedding celebration where Bablu and Sweety were mercilessly blown off by Munna Tripathi (Divyendu Sharma), setting off a chain reaction of violence and a revenge saga. Much as Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) is embarrassed about his son Munna's reckless actions, he is equally concerned about the family scion, and protecting him is his priority. In the meanwhile, Guddu (Ali Fazal) and Golu (Shweta Tripathi) go into the hiding to recover from the former's serious injuries and planning for the revenge of their respective sibling's murder. Munna may be their primary target, but they have a greater objective of annexing the rule over Mirzapur.

Mirzapur 2 is a blood soaked saga of vengeance through the paths of crime and politics, scheming and double crossing. In a region where politicians, hoodlums, criminals and police form bonds of symbiotic existence, the common man with integrity is the worst sufferer, and Mirzapur 2 underpins this message loud and clear. Bablu and Guddu's father Ramakant Pandit (Rajesh Tailang) runs from pillar to post to gather evidence against Munna Tripathi, but finds no sympathisers, even among those who were eye witnesses to the massacre. It is left to Guddu to nail the culprits, however difficult the objective be.

Critics may stand aside on this series with their contrarian views, but Mirzapur 2 offers wholesome entertainment, intrigue, drama and passion galore, and with a dose of political sprinkling of the top level, the series is indeed bingeworthy. Yes, the language makes you cringe and the gory violence may often seem abhorrent, but then this indeed is a taste of reality. Pankaj Tripathi and Divyendu Sharma are in top form, and there are occasions where your heart goes out to the young and restless Munna Tripathi's character, in spite of his evil ways. Ali Fazal, Shweta Tripathi, Harshita Gaur, Sheeba Chaddha, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Rasika Dugal, Shaji Chaudhary, Amit Sial, Anjum Sharma Shernavaz Jijina, Priyanshu Painyuli and Isha Talwar all have important roles and do complete justice to them. The surprise package though is Vijay Varma in a dual role and Lilliput showcasing the Tyagi family in Bihar, and offer a welcome change of scene in between.
