Mirzapur: The Movie’s story is not a direct sequel to the end of season 3. In fact, this movie is a type of spin-off set between the events of season 1. During the promotion event for the movie, Ali Fazal said, “Everyone must go home and watch Series 1, but only till episode 6. From episode 6, the story of the movie starts and revolves.”
Episode 6 of Mirzapur season 1, which is titled Barfi, paves the way for a new journey in the life’s of Guddu (Ali Fazal) and Bablu (Vikrant Massey) after they earn Kaleen Bhaiya’s (Pankaj Tripathi) respect.
