Mirzapur The Movie Twitter review: Netizens call Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi's film 'even more powerful than the web series'

The wait is finally over for Mirzapur fans as the much-loved franchise has made its way to the big screen. Mirzapur: The Movie opened in theatres on September 4, bringing back several familiar faces and the ruthless power games that made the series a fan favourite. While audiences have only just started watching the film, early reactions on social media have already started pouring in.

From the performances and action sequences to the dialogues and background score, several viewers have shared their first impressions of the film on X (formerly Twitter). Some have gone as far as calling the movie more powerful than the original web series, while others have praised its larger-than-life treatment.

Mirzapur The Movie Twitter review

One viewer gave Mirzapur: The Movie a 4.5/5 rating and praised almost every major element of the film. The viewer felt that the movie takes the intensity of the series to another level, particularly highlighting its story, screenplay, politics, revenge drama, action, dialogues and background music.




Another social media post focused on a scene involving Meena Bhabhi and Bauji. The viewer said the two characters completely dominated the sequence and praised the dialogue featured in the scene. The reaction also expressed confidence that the movie could go on to become a blockbuster.

Film critic Taran Adarsh also shared his early verdict on X. He described the movie as a winner and a strong mass entertainer. According to Adarsh, the big-screen adaptation successfully gives the popular franchise a more cinematic scale without losing the raw attitude and flavour associated with the series.





He particularly praised the writing by Puneet Krishna, calling it sharp and packed with punchlines. Adarsh also pointed out that the film does not feel like a stretched episode of the web series. Instead, he felt it works as a standalone theatrical film, with power struggles, revenge, betrayal and emotions driving the narrative.


Giving 2 stars, one of the users wrote, "A COLOSSAL DISASTER & AN UNBEARABLE HEADACHE! #MirzapurTheMovie is an absolute trainwreck. The highly anticipated cinematic adaptation of India's biggest OTT franchise ends up being a noisy, hollow disaster.

Pankaj Tripathi and Ali Fazal cannot save this mess. They try way too hard to mimic their old iconic personas, resulting in forced, highly repetitive performances full of loud, cringe dialogues. The legendary tension between Kaleen Bhaiya and Guddu Pandit is completely missing."

What is Mirzapur The Movie about?

Unlike a straightforward continuation of the web series, Mirzapur: The Movie reportedly explores a new story within the same universe. The film is set in 2018, during the timeline of the first season.

The story takes place between Episodes 6 and 7 of Season 1. This timeline allows the filmmakers to bring back several characters who are no longer alive later in the series. It also gives fans an opportunity to see some of the franchise's most recognisable characters together again.

At the centre of the film is yet another battle for control of the Mirzapur throne. As different players enter the race, old rivalries and new power equations create another round of conflict.

Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and others return

The film brings back several key performers from the Mirzapur universe. Pankaj Tripathi reprises his role as Kaleen Bhaiya, while Divyenndu returns as Munna Tripathi and Shweta Tripathi Sharma plays Golu Gupta.

Ali Fazal is also back as Guddu Pandit, one of the most popular characters from the franchise. Actor-politician Ravi Kishan plays a central role in the new story and becomes part of the changing power dynamics surrounding the Mirzapur throne.

The return of these familiar characters is among the biggest attractions for fans who have followed the series since its first season.

Mirzapur The Movie release and team

Mirzapur: The Movie released in theatres on September 4, 2026. The film arrives after the franchise built a strong following through its streaming seasons, making its theatrical debut a significant moment for the series.

The movie is presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment. It has been directed by Gurmmeet Singh, who has also been associated with the Mirzapur franchise, while Puneet Krishna has written the screenplay. The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the Excel Entertainment banner, with Kassim Jagmagia and Vishal Ramchandani serving as co-producers.

With early social media reactions leaning strongly positive, the focus now shifts to whether the film can turn the excitement around the franchise into a strong theatrical run. Its Day 1 advance bookings had already pointed towards the possibility of a double-digit opening, and the response from audiences could determine how strongly Mirzapur: The Movie performs over the weekend.
