Mirzapur Series Plot
The show is set in the lawless city of Mirzapur in the Purvanchal region of North India and revolves around the power struggle between criminal families.
The story follows the Tripathi family, led by the iron-fisted Akhandanand Tripathi (Pankaj Tripathi), a millionaire carpet exporter and the mafia don of Mirzapur. His son, the deeply unhinged Munna Tripathi (Divyendu Sharma), is desperate to prove himself and take over his father’s empire.
Two college-going brothers, Guddu (Ali Fazal) and Bablu (Vikrant Massey), become embroiled in Akhandanand’s guns and drugs business and gain favour with him, much to the envy of Munna. Meanwhile, the honest and idealistic lawyer, Ramakant Pandit (Rajesh Tailang), is fighting against the corruption and violence in Mirzapur.
As the power struggle intensifies, alliances are formed and broken, and violence becomes an everyday occurrence. Politicians, cops, lawyers, and mafia lords are involved in a complex web of relationships and rivalries.
The first season follows the dark and graphically violent story of how Guddu and Bablu become embroiled in Akhandanand’s business, while the second season follows the aftermath of the events of the first season and the consequences of the Tripathi family’s actions.
The series has been widely acclaimed for its gripping storyline, powerful performances, and realistic portrayal of the criminal underworld in India.
