Amazon Prime Video’s show Mirzapur has a different level of popularity among fans. The way people have gone crazy for this show since the first season, very few shows have received such popularity. And a big reason for this is the character of Munna Tripathi. There has been a stormy craze among fans for this character played by Divyendu Sharma.
Munna is a villain in the story of Mirzapur hero Guddu Pandit, but still this character has so many shades that it can be said to be a little more popular than Guddu. Therefore, the death of this character in the story of the second season of the show was a shock for the fans. Fans made a theory that the makers cannot kill such a popular character just like that and in the third season, it is possible that Munna Bhaiya may be brought back to the story from some angle.
Mirzapur 3 had a different story of its own and for many fans, it was the coldest season of the show. This episode failed to show the muscle power of the Bahubalis but succeeded in showing politics but in the eyes of the show’s die-hard fans, Munna Bhaiya’s absence became the reason for the show’s ‘Bhaukaal’ factor to diminish. And this is the reason why when the bonus episode of Mirzapur 3 was announced, the fans were very happy that perhaps their wish to see Munna Bhaiya would be fulfilled now.
The good news is that the bonus episode has arrived and you can once again feel Munna Bhaiya’s Bhaukaal on the screen. The makers have presented the deleted scenes of ‘Mirzapur 3’ to the public courtesy of Munna Bhaiya, but there is nothing particularly exciting in these scenes.
What has Munna Bhaiya brought in his box?
In Mirzapur 3, the character of Munna Bhaiya has not returned to the story, the makers have just used this character to narrate the deleted scenes and create the atmosphere. Munna Tripathi, who returned with the royalty of loyalty for the fans of the show, starts the deleted scenes with the conversation of the Pandit family. This scene features Robin (Priyanshu Painyuli), Dimpy Pandit (Harshita Gaur), Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal) and Vasudha Pandit (Sheeba Chaddha). Guddu is telling his mother that Papa has not returned and leaves after wishing the Dimpy-Robin couple his best wishes.
The next deleted scene is of Golu (Shweta Tripathi), in which she is recruiting boys for the gang from the same college where she herself studied. Here Munna Bhaiya is definitely mentioned. But it is just a mention, nothing more than that.
Perhaps the most interesting scene among all the deleted scenes is that of Radhiya (Prasansa Sharma) tasting the alcohol left by Munna Tripathi. In ‘Mirzapur 3’, we saw that Radhiya has gradually become very interested in the drug trade and the illegal activities of the musclemen. This alcohol thing adds another new element to her character.
In the next deleted scene, Sharad (Anjum Sharma) and Bharat Tyagi’s lookalike Chote Tyagi (Vijay Verma) are planning a college reunion and a deal is also being made for Golu’s life. Then Sharad and Chief Minister Madhuri Yadav (Isha Talwar) are seen getting close. After this, the Home Minister is seen struggling with the transfer of policemen and finally the deleted scenes end with Madhuri’s conversation with Zarina. Munna Bhaiya closes the box of deleted scenes with this dialogue that ‘love should remain for Mirzapur.’
The game was played with the excitement of the public
Sharing deleted scenes of popular shows among the public is an international and popular trend. This is an opportunity for fans to find something in the deleted scenes that may in some way tell the story further or show a new side of the actors and characters. That is, overall deleted scenes are interesting only when they add some value to the story of the show.
Munna Tripathi was killed, the public tolerated it. The temperature of Mirzapur 3 was cooler than the previous two seasons, the public tolerated this too. But the way the makers have created a ruckus in the name of Munna Bhaiya and have stuck deleted scenes without any fun, the public may not be able to tolerate it anymore. Those who were waiting for the re-entry of this character in the story or any of his deleted scenes in season 3 after hearing ‘Munna Bhaiya is returning’, their mood is going to be ruined. For the true Mirzapur fans, this bonus episode is going to be more disappointing than season 3.
