Mirzapur Story Mirzapur is a story about a mafia that controls the city, ruled by Akhandanand Tripathi (known as ‘Khaleen Bhaiya’) He runs a drugs and arms business in Mirzapur, disguised as a carpet export business. His son, the power-hungry Phoolchand Tripathi (known to most as ‘Munna Bhaiya’), celebrates while attending a wedding party by wildly shooting a gun which leads to the accidental death of the groom. The groom’s family, grieved, hires the idealist lawyer Ramakant Pandit. This eventually leads to an altercation where Munna attempts to threaten Ramakant and ends up getting beaten up by Ramakant’s sons. Khaleen Bhaiya is impressed that Ramakant’s sons were capable of beating up Munna and his goons and offers them a job, which they take. This creates further conflict between Khaleen Bhaiya and Ramakant Pandit, but more importantly, between his sons and Munna, which drives the story. Eventually, Munna kills Bablu and Swaragini "Sweety" Gupta Pandit, Gudda’s wife, which leads Gudda and Sweety’s younger sister Gajgamini "Golu" Gupta to attempt to take revenge. Mirzapur is loosely based on Narcos, the Netflix show based on the life of mafia kingpin Pablo Escobar. Creator and director Karan Anushman said that they wanted to create a violence-filled world that would provoke even the nicest character into pulling the trigger of a gun, and that they wanted to have it based on reality but amped up, without shying away from brutality.
