About Mirzapur: The Movie
Mirzapur: The Movie is directed by Gurmeet Singh in his feature-film debut and written by Puneet Krishna. It is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under Excel Entertainment. The film stars Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Jitendra Kumar and Ravi Kishan. Released on September 4 to largely positive reviews, the Mirzapur film acts as an interquel set during Season 1 of the Prime Video series.
However, the song Shoorveer from the film sparked controversy after Rapperiya Baalam raised objections to its use by gangsters, even though it celebrates Maharana Pratap. On Thursday, the Delhi HC directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to decide within a week to replace the song with background music. According to ANI, the bench orally observed that, prima facie, the use of the song did not appear to be “in good taste” and questioned whether the situation had reached a stage where “we are revering violence”. The CBFC told the court that it would consider the proposal and take a decision within a week.
