Shobhaa De reviews of ‘Mirzapur': 'Should not have been made'

In her latest critique, author Shobhaa De expressed her dissatisfaction with the recent Mirzapur film, noting that she struggled to stay awake through its drawn-out duration.

While she commended the standout performances from Ravi Kishan and Ali Fazal, she criticized Pankaj Tripathi’s role for lacking freshness.

De also pointed out the film's over-the-top violence and the surprising inclusion of intimate moments that seemed out of place.
