Mirzapur Movie review release live: Pankaj Tripathi on the film
Speaking to HT last month, Pankaj Tripathi had said, "Whenever a performance or art form is experienced communally, the impact changes entirely. Enjoying it in a group creates a unique, shared experience. So, while Mirzapur used to be a "leave me alone” kind of watch, it’s now in “party mode.” The world is the same, the characters are the same, but the story is new, and the experience is much grander.”

Mirzapur Movie review release live: Shweta Tripathi on the film
Shweta Tripathi, one of the principal cast members, told HT: “It is definitely not a redux of season one,” says the actor. “So agar aap highway pe ja rahe ho, aur aap ek bypass le lete ho. Toh yeh woh hai (If you are going on a highway and you take a bypass route, it is that). We have kept everything the audience liked and introduced new elements. So, we have Pankaj (Tripathi) ji, Ali (Fazal), Divyenndu and the others returning, but we also have the man of the moment, Ravi (Kishan) ji. So it’s like a thaali, where the ingredients have been tweaked a bit. Ingredients mein masaale thode faraq kar diye hain, thali wahi hai (It’s the same buffet, but some spices have been added).”

Mirzapur Movie review release live: Pankaj Tripathi's anecdote
At the film's music launch last week in Mumbai, Pankaj Tripathi said, “I have to share an interesting story. A few days ago, my wife saw a reel, and it had a Sajanva song in the background. It was a reel featuring me, which was made by paps. So, my wife asked me about the song, and I asked her to Google it since I was also not aware of it. As I said that, my daughter looked at both of us in surprise and told us that the song is from Mirzapur: The Movie.”
