The makers of Mirzapur: The Movie have officially announced that the much-awaited film adaptation of the popular crime drama will release in theatres on September 4. The announcement was made on Thursday via Excel Entertainment’s official Instagram handle, giving fans their first clear look at the film’s cinematic scale.
A poster that sets the tone
The newly unveiled poster immediately signals the franchise’s trademark violence and power struggles. Set against a sprawling golden desert, it features a convoy of rugged SUVs racing through the dunes, kicking up thick clouds of dust. A dark trail resembling blood cuts through the frame, underscoring the brutality the series is known for.
The title MIRZAPUR appears in bold, cracked red lettering, with THE MOVIE positioned beneath it. The release date, September 4, 2026 is prominently highlighted.
The caption accompanying the post read, “Ab dekhiye bhaukaal bade parde par,” inviting audiences to experience the world of Mirzapur on the big screen.
