Mumbai, September 3, 2026: The much-awaited Mirzapur: The Movie is set to arrive in cinemas on September 4, bringing the popular crime-drama franchise to the big screen for the first time.
The film has generated considerable excitement among fans of the original streaming series, particularly because several familiar characters are returning. Pankaj Tripathi reprises his role as Kaleen Bhaiya, Ali Fazal returns as Guddu Pandit, and Divyenndu is back as Munna Tripathi.
Strong Interest Ahead of Release
The film’s advance booking has shown encouraging momentum ahead of its theatrical debut. According to a September 2 industry report, Mirzapur: The Movie had recorded more than ₹4 crore in opening-day India bookings, with tickets sold across thousands of shows and theatres.
The early response has increased expectations around the movie’s opening weekend. However, actual box-office performance will depend on audience reviews, occupancy and the number of shows available after release.
A New Chapter in the Mirzapur Universe
Rather than simply continuing the streaming series, the movie expands the world of Mirzapur onto a much larger theatrical canvas.
The story once again revolves around the struggle for power and control, with established characters facing new challenges and conflicts. The makers have also introduced additional faces to the franchise, including Ravi Kishan, Sonal Chauhan and Mohit Malik.
Jitendra Kumar is also part of the cast, taking over the role of Bablu Pandit for the film.
