Mirzapur 3 bonus episode Twitter Review: Fans express disappointment over Munna Bhaiya’s return. Here’s why

The excitement surrounding the hit series Mirzapur was palpable when fans discovered that a bonus episode for the third season was dropping unexpectedly. But as the highly anticipated episode aired, the reaction on Twitter revealed a wave of disappointment rather than celebration. The bonus episode, which promised the return of the much-loved Munna Bhaiya, played by Divyenndu Sharma, left fans feeling underwhelmed and puzzled.

A Collection of Deleted Scenes

The buzz began when the makers of Mirzapur teased the return of Munna Bhaiya, creating a surge of hope among the show’s loyal fanbase. However, what was presented in the bonus episode was not a fresh narrative or a twist in the ongoing storyline but rather a collection of deleted scenes from Season 3. Although Munna Bhaiya did make an appearance, it was only to comment on the actions of other characters in these previously unseen clips. This format, while creative, failed to meet the high expectations set by the previous seasons.

Fan Reactions: A Mix of Disappointment and Critique

The response on Twitter was swift and blunt. Many fans expressed their dissatisfaction, stating that the bonus episode felt more like an afterthought than a meaningful addition to the series. One user tweeted, “Munna Bhaiya is BACK! He’s staring at the same bullet he got in his chest. The bonus episode is just a compilation of deleted scenes narrated by him. Makers did a fan service, but it felt hollow.”



Another user didn't hold back, tweeting, “Season flop. Bonus episode super flop #MirzapurOnPrime,” highlighting the growing frustration among the audience. Many pointed out that while the creators aimed to appease fans with Munna’s return, the lack of new content or any significant development left them feeling shortchanged.


The Real Issue: Lack of Substance and Plot
The root of the disappointment seems to stem from the fact that the bonus episode did not provide any new insights or advances in the storyline. Instead, it played on the nostalgia and popularity of Munna Bhaiya’s character, without adding anything substantial to the Mirzapur universe. The deleted scenes, while interesting in their own right, were not enough to sustain the excitement that had been building up since the announcement of the bonus content.


Many fans expected a more engaging and plot-driven addition, especially after the mixed reactions to Season 3, where some felt the series had lost its initial spark. The bonus episode’s failure to deliver on this front only fueled the disappointment further.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Mirzapur?
Despite the underwhelming response to the bonus episode, the anticipation for Mirzapur Season 4 remains high. The co-director, Anand Iyer, has already hinted that the new season might arrive sooner than expected, with promises of intriguing power dynamics and relationships that could reignite the series’ initial appeal.

As fans await more details on what’s to come, the hope is that the next installment will recapture the intensity and thrill that made Mirzapur a household name in the first place. Until then, the bonus episode serves as a reminder that even beloved characters like Munna Bhaiya need more than nostalgia to keep the fire burning.
