A brief about 'Mirzapur'
Mirzapur, that came out in November 2018, revolved around the rampant crime, corruption and lawlessness at the hands of mafia dons in the Purvanchal region of Uttar Pradesh. It starred Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiya, Divyenndu Sharmaa as his son Munna, and Ali Fazal and Vikrant Massey as Pandit brothers (Guddu and Bablu), who got entangled in a web of power against each other.
