What is Mirzapur about?

Mirzapur, an Indian action crime thriller series on Amazon Prime Video, delves into the intricate and violent dynamics of power and crime in the city of Mirzapur. The series stars Pankaj Tripathi as Akhandanand Tripathi, the influential mafia don who dominates the area's illicit trade. His son, Munna, played by Divyendu Sharma, seeks to uphold and eventually seize his father's nefarious mantle, often employing ruthless methods to do so. The plot thickens when an altercation at a wedding drags the Pandit family, led by the righteous lawyer Ramakant Pandit and his sons, Guddu and Bablu, into the criminal underworld. As ambitions clash and loyalties shift, the narrative unfolds into a complex web of deceit, power struggles, and the quest for authority in a city where the law is routinely flouted. Created by Karan Anshuman and produced by Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur explores themes of governance, survival, and justice in a society teetering on the brink of moral collapse.
