3 min readNew DelhiJun 25, 2026 12:29 PM IST Mirzapur The Movie teaser: After three successful seasons on Amazon Prime Video, Mirzapur is all set for its first feature film, and the teaser for the movie dropped online on Thursday, June 25. While the new teaser does not disclose the plot of the film but it does declare, it firmly puts it in the same sandbox of violence, blood and gang rivalries. We see visuals of Pankaj Tripathi’s Kaleen bhaiya ruling Mirzapur. Ali Fazal had told SCREEN that the film is set before the show, which explains the return of actors Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chadha and Divyenndu. Jitendra Kumar steps into Vikrant Massey’s shoes here as he plays Bablu. Divyenndu’s Munna, a fan favourite character who died in the show, returns to wreak havoc and drop some whistle-worthy dialogues. Ravi Kishan has also joined the franchise with this film and gets two scenes in the teaser. Mirzapur The Movie is all about complicated relationship between fathers and sons — whether it’s Kaleen bhaiya’s disappointment with …

Before it was a streaming franchise with three seasons, a record-breaking viewership run and a dedicated audience in over 180 countries, Mirzapur was a folder on Puneet Krishna’s laptop. The file was called “Guddu Aur Bablu Ki Story.” He kept it that way for years, even as the show was running. It was only when the film was finally greenlit and he sat down to write it that he created a new folder and for the first time, named it “Mirzapur: The Film.” In a conversation with Variety India, he said, “Mirzapur was always a film for me. I kept it like that for nostalgic reasons.” The confession reframes the entire trajectory of one of India’s most successful streaming properties. What audiences came to know as a nine-episode first season, followed by two more seasons and 29 total episodes on Amazon Prime Video, was, at its origin, a story that Puneet Krishna imagined on a cinema screen. The reason it ended up as a series was partly circumstantial and partly the result of watching someone …

What it did, apart from the lingering medical problems and virus mutations that doctors are still unpacking, is to cause profound changes in our viewing habits. Before that fateful day in March 2020, oblivious to the terrible days that were coming, Hindi cinema’s first quarter did not exactly cover itself in glory.
