Mirzapur: The Movie (15+)

In theatres: 4 September 2026 | Hindi Starring: Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu

The throne of Mirzapur has always come with a body count, and this time the power struggle gets a new player. Between Akhandanand Tripathi holding the seat, Munna waiting in the wings, a rival don from Jaunpur, and the Guddu-Bablu duo who rewrote the rules of the game — enter Babban “Babua,” a ruthless newcomer from Jaisalmer whose weapon of choice is a pair of scissors and whose past ties to Mirzapur run deep. Fans of the series know exactly what they’re signing up for: blood, betrayal, and a battle for the crown that never really ends.

STREAMING THIS WEEK

Gandhari — Netflix (3 September)

Taapsee Pannu leads this gripping thriller as Bani, a mother who loses her sight while trying to save her daughter from traffickers aboard a train. Blind but far from broken, she throws herself into brutal training to hunt down the network that took her daughter, turning grief into one of the most relentless revenge missions you’ll see on streaming this month.

Mayday — Apple TV+ (4 September)

It’s 1987, the Cold War is in full swing, and Navy pilot Troy “Assassin” Kelly (Ryan Reynolds) just got ejected deep into enemy territory after a mission goes sideways. Enter Nikolai (Kenneth Branagh), a former KGB agent with a bizarre obsession with American pop culture, who decides to nurse Troy back to health instead of turning him in.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu — Disney+

The Empire’s gone, the New Republic is barely holding it together, and Din Djarin and Grogu are pulled into a rescue mission with very high stakes: saving Jabba’s son from a pirate-run underworld. Along with a crew of Anzelan allies, the pair have to out-maneuver deadly traps — including a venomous Dragon Snake — to pull off the infiltration of a lifetime. Grogu, of course, gets his moment to shine with the Force front and center.
