‘Mirzapur: The Movie’ Locks Theatrical Release: The King of Mirzapur Returns

New Delhi, February 5, 2026: The long-awaited bhaukaal is officially moving from your smartphone screens to the 70mm big screen. In a major announcement that has sent shockwaves through the Indian film industry and its massive fanbase, the makers of the iconic crime franchise have officially locked the theatrical release date for ‘Mirzapur: The Movie’.

The Grand Transition: From OTT to Cinema Halls

Since its debut in 2018, Mirzapur has been the undisputed king of Indian digital content. However, for the first time, the gritty streets of Purvanchal will be showcased with cinematic grandeur. Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios, the film promises to be a “larger-than-life” experience.

The official announcement was accompanied by a striking new poster featuring a cavalcade of SUVs speeding through a dusty landscape, pulling a single, royal chair—the symbol of the throne that everyone in Mirzapur bleeds for. The caption read: “Ab dekhiye bhaukaal bade parde par” (Now watch the chaos on the big screen).

The Resurrection: Munna Bhaiya is Back!

Perhaps the biggest talking point of this movie is the confirmed return of Divyenndu as Munna Tripathi. Fans were left heartbroken after his character’s apparent demise in Season 2, but the movie is set to narrate an “untold chapter” of the Mirzapur universe.

Whether it functions as a prequel or uses a clever narrative twist to bring the “King of Mirzapur” back to life, the reunion of the original trio—Pankaj Tripathi (Kaleen Bhaiya), Ali Fazal (Guddu Pandit), and Divyenndu (Munna Bhaiya)—is the primary engine driving the hype.

A Power-Packed Cast & Crew

The film isn’t just a reunion; it’s an expansion. Directed by Gurmmeet Singh, who has been the creative force behind the series’ most successful episodes, the movie will feature:

• Returning Favorites: Shweta Tripathi Sharma (Golu Gupta), Rasika Dugal (Beena Tripathi), Abhishek Banerjee (Compounder), and Shriya Pilgaonkar (Sweety Gupta).
• New Entrants: The cinematic version will also feature powerhouses like Ravi Kishan, Jitendra Kumar, and Sonal Chauhan, adding fresh layers to the already complex web of crime and politics.

What to Expect?

While the plot details are being kept under tight wraps, the producers have hinted that the film will provide the “quintessential Mirzapur experience” but with higher stakes and explosive action sequences designed specifically for the theater. The story is expected to dive deep into the origins or hidden conflicts that the series hasn’t yet fully explored.

For a franchise that redefined the crime-thriller genre in India, this theatrical leap is a landmark moment. It sets a new precedent for how successful digital IPs can transition into blockbuster cinema.

As the countdown to September 4 begins, fans are already bracing themselves for the return of the guns, the gore, and the inimitable dialogue that made Mirzapur a household name.
