Mirzapur could have been an exhausting watch, but the stellar ensemble might entice you to watch it

Rating:
Amazon Prime's latest outing, Mirzapur, from the stable of Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, is not an easy show to watch. It is consistently disturbing, mind-numbingly gory with elaborately orchestrated action scenes that spare no explicit detail. The milieu may be similar to Anurag Kashyap's Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012), but writers Vineet Krishna, Karan Anshuman and Puneet Krishna are unable to imbue the narrative with vibrancy, dark humour or the moody violence that one expects of mafioso movies.
