Synopsis
of
Mirzapur
Season
2:
The
universe
of
Mirzapur
has
become
more
immersive
with
power,
politics
and
revenge
at
the
centre
of
it.
On
one
hand,
the
fight
between
Munna
and
Guddu
to
take
over
Mirzapur
intensifies,
on
the
other
hand
the
narrative
takes
us
to
the
power
corridors
where
a
nexus
between
politics
and
criminals
prevails.
The
women
of
Mirzapur
have
become
bolder
and
more
complex
and
will
not
hesitate
in
using
any
means
to
achieve
their
goals.
Who
will
win
in
the
end?
Is
there
any
one
left
to
challenge
the
Tripathis?
The
canvas
gets
bigger
this
season,
but
the
rules
remain
the
same
-
without
spilling
blood
you
won't
survive
here!
