The Amazon Prime Video web series, “Mirzapur 3,” has been highly anticipated for several years. The first two seasons garnered a massive fan following, and both were significant hits. Following this success, expectations for the third season were high. However, when the series was finally released in July, fans were left disappointed. The reaction on social media indicated a wave of dissatisfaction, with many expressing nostalgia for the character Munna Bhaiya. To add to the excitement, the creators announced a bonus episode featuring Guddu Bhaiya, set to release at the end of August.
In a promotional video, Ali Fazal, portraying Guddu Bhaiya, teased fans about the upcoming bonus episode. His confident demeanor led many to speculate that it would mark the return of Munna Bhaiya, played by Divyendu Sharma. Fans began to craft theories about Munna’s comeback, with Guddu’s promises fuelling their hopes. However, when the highly anticipated bonus episode finally aired, it became clear that Guddu Bhaiya’s assertions were merely a ruse.
What Did Guddu Bhaiya Claim?
In a video shared on August 4th, Guddu Bhaiya boasted, “What are you staring at? I just returned from the Prime Video office, where I demanded the deleted scenes from Season 3. With all the calories I’ve burned, my protein intake isn’t something your father can handle. Stay sharp for this bonus episode; it’s going to change your life. You won’t believe the excitement it will bring. I guarantee a much-talked-about character is back – the one we eliminated in the series. Get ready for Mirzapur 3’s bonus episode; it will be thrilling.”
Unpacking the Promises
While Ali Fazal did not explicitly mention Munna Bhaiya’s return in his announcement, it was evident he was alluding to him. The mention of a ‘much-talked-about character’ hints at Munna. Unfortunately, when the bonus episode was released, viewers discovered that it contained merely deleted scenes narrated by Munna Bhaiya rather than a narrative that involved him. The expected dramatic return fell flat, leaving fans disillusioned.
Guddu Bhaiya’s Three Misleading Claims
The promotional video featured several key statements from Guddu Bhaiya, which turned out to be misleading. Let’s break them down:
1. “Big Changes Coming”
Guddu claimed that viewers would experience a ‘mind-blowing’ event after watching the bonus episode. However, the episode consisted of mundane scenes rather than the intense drama fans were hoping for, resulting in a lack of any significant excitement.
2. “Prepare to Have Your Mind Blown”
He boldly stated that viewers would have their minds blown by the content of the bonus episode. Fans were left wondering what exactly was mind-blowing, as there were no shocking revelations or twists that warranted such a statement.
3. “A Much-Talked-About Character is Returning”
Guddu specifically mentioned the return of a famous character they had previously “killed off.” While fans believed this was a direct reference to Munna Bhaiya, he was noticeably absent from the episode. Instead, viewers were treated to a one-sided narration, leaving them unsatisfied with the lack of any substantial plot development indicating his return.
Conclusion
In summary, the much-anticipated Mirzapur 3 bonus episode failed to deliver on the promises made by Guddu Bhaiya, leaving fans feeling misled and disappointed. Despite the excitement surrounding the show, it appears that the creators will need to rethink their approach for upcoming content to regain the trust and enthusiasm of their audience.
