Sharing their reaction on X, the viewer wrote that Mirzapur: The Movie “doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to entertainment”, adding that Ravi Kishan’s entry as Babbua Yadav “instantly breathes new life into the story”.Ravi Kishan’s performance appears to be one of the highlights for early viewers. Another viewer praised his casting, writing, “Perfect build-up for the second half & they did a fantastic job by casting lord, @ravikishann.” The first half has also received largely positive reactions. One viewer described it as “KADAK”, admitting that the film starts slowly but gets better as it progresses. They particularly praised the build-up to the interval and predicted that the second half could be a “banger”.Another X user gave a more measured assessment of the first half, calling it “decent” and praising its background music, treatment and several elevated moments. However, they felt the film sometimes over-explains its story, making it feel like “a stretched web series on a big screen”.The viewer added that while the first half remains interesting because of its characters and popular dialogues, those unfamiliar with the Mirzapur universe may find it somewhat stretched.Praising the film, one fane wrote, "Naam chhota hai, bhaukaal nahi. Time to bhaukaal (The name may be short, but the swagger isn’t.” Time to swagger."Some viewers have also praised the film's entertainment value and its trademark language and humour. One reaction compared the film's use of abuses with another show, while calling Mirzapur: The Movie a satisfying theatrical experience after a series of disappointments.The film's background score and action have emerged as other talking points among early viewers, along with the return of the franchise's popular characters and dialogues.Mirzapur: The Movie follows three seasons of the hit series, which established characters such as Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit and Munna Bhaiya as some of the most recognisable figures in India's streaming space. The theatrical film brings the world of Mirzapur to a larger canvas while retaining the violence, power struggles and bhaukaal associated with the franchise.While the early reactions on X are largely positive, a wider picture will emerge as more audiences watch the film in theatres.- EndsPublished By: shweta keshriPublished On: Sep 4, 2026 12:01 IST
