    Note: This article contains spoilers so please tread with caution.

    Having given you a fair warning and diving right into the roulette of gunshots that I happened to see on the TV screen as I binge watched Mirzapur, I just want to say leaving the critiques aside, I had a fantastic time viewing it.

    A show or a movie with a thematic aesthetic of ‘gunda raj’, gang wars and bloodshed will obviously have a lot of fighting, political drama and, of course, deaths. The death of a pivotal character plays an important role in spearheading the direction of the script and here are 7 deaths in this series which completely changed the course of the script and how:
    1. Bablu PanditThe gory cathartic ending of the first season had the brainy brother out of the two inseparable Pandit brothers succumbing to Munna Tripathi’s thirst for revenge. In a fit of rage, Munna guns down Bablu and Sweety, the love of his life and the wife of his rival Guddu. One of the main plotlines of the second season is based on Guddu and Golu’s madness to seek revenge and take over Mirzapur from the Tripathis.

    2. Rati Shankar ShuklaThis character didn’t have enough meat to chew on the show but nevertheless his death is a key factor in spinning the yarn of an unexplored story line which has his son Sharad pitting Tripathis against each other as somewhere he desires to see them all die and avenge his father’s death.

    3. Babar KhanThe nephew of Kaleen bhaiya’s ‘right hand’ Maqbool, Babar dies at the hand of an angst filled Munna who guns him down after teaching him a lesson in loyalty. Babar’s death is a catalyst for the next gory death on my list aka Bauji’s death. In this whole process, he unfortunately ends up shooting Maqbool’s mother which obviously has its consequences. Hence, this one dying scene plays a pivotal turning point in the plot.

    4. BaujiThis was my favourite, most satisfying watch on the show. After Bauji and Kaleen bhaiya express their condolences to Maqbool and explain him that Babar’s death was inevitable , the man who never dared to turn disloyal to the family he’s been serving for all of his life, finally decides to share the pain of losing a parent with his master and thus plots killing the Tripathi patriarch in his own house. When Beena climbs down and shouts ‘Bauji ko tum nahi maroge’, for a second I wondered if after all that she has been through, she will still fight for his life. To my utter surprise, she announces her wish to kill him and this intense gory death was straight out of a revenge novel.

    5. Junior/SeniorWell, although on the surface it seems like Junior died, the post credit scene brings a whole new dimension to the drama, when we realise Senior's ring doesn't fit his finger. So who died? Junior or Senior? Did Junior finally learn the play of power and politics and tricked us into believing it's Senior who survived the firing? We will never know unless the show returns for a third inning, when his twin brother and Dadda might launch an attack of their own on his estranged love, Golu.
    6. RajaA very layered yet interesting character! I have got to say that his loyalty to his ‘bhabhi’ is unmatched and surpasses anyone’s loyalty on the show. Believing Beena’s son to be his own son as well, Raja does all of her dirty work for her with finesse and ensures that venom is spewed wherever it is needed. Even when he is minutes away from breathing his last, he manages to change the story gear to full speed as he whispers Kaleen bhaiya’s name to Munna when he is asked why he tried killing him.

    7. Munna TripathiI can't say that by the end of the season, if I feel bad for this guy or happy about life coming full circle for him and his fate being sealed at the hands of the two people he hurt the most in season 1. The itching factor that makes you ‘damn’ is the fact that Munna dies minutes after getting the one thing he yearned for all his life, that is, the throne of Mirzapur.

    While we are not sure if the show is coming back, the makers did leave us hanging with a half-baked ending scene where one can imagine that a new season will come back with more storylines with unexplored characters.

    You would agree that there’s no dearth of good content on Netflix. Even when it comes to good original content, the streaming giant never ceases to delight us. 

    After the tremendous success of Netflix original, Lust Stories, which featured Kiara Advani, Radhika Apte, and Manisha Koirala, the streaming giant has announced yet another interesting project that people can look forward to watching. 
    Recently, as per a report by Telugu 360, Netflix India has roped in four popular Telugu filmmakers for their upcoming Telugu anthology which will be made on the theme of love.
    The report says, Krish Jagarlamudi (Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi fame), Shiva Nirvana, Nandini Reddy and Ajay Bhupathi have been signed for this upcoming project.

    Besides, the popular streaming giant has already completed the agreement work for the project and the shoot will commence next year. We are totally excited for this one. What about you?

    Also, since the filmmakers are currently busy with the script work, the web series is expected to release in 2022.
    Did you know this will be Netflix’s second Telugu production venture after Lust Stories?
    The Telugu version of Lust Stories has been helmed by Nandini Reddy, Sankalp Reddy and Tharun Bhascker. Moreover, Arjun Reddy fame Sandeep Reddy Vanga was supposed to direct one segment but he opted out following creative differences, reports suggest.

    The Netflix original, Lust Stories - featuring four short film segments and centered on the theme of lust - was directed by Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, and Dibakar Banerjee, respectively.

    Other than this interesting project, the Tollywood directors Krish, Shiva Nirvana, Nandini Reddy and Ajay Bhupathi are currently busy with their respective assignments in the regional cinema segment. 
    Krish is currently filming a yet-untitled Telugu project with Vaishnav Tej and Rakul Preet Singh. Shiva Nirvana has resumed shooting for Nani’s Tuck Jagadish.

    In India, criminal accused and undertrials seem to get a free pass when it comes to contesting elections and positioning themselves as people’s representatives and leaders. As blasphemous as the idea might seem, it is unfortunately something even the Supreme Court can't meddle with.
    This situation may seem a lot gloomy, but the fact of the matter is that the situation may not see any considerable change, as long as political parties keep offering election tickets to individuals with criminal cases against them, as well as until voters fail to make informed choices when it comes to picking their representatives.
    Don’t believe how common or widespread this practice is in the Indian political scene? Read about these five people who contested elections despite having criminal charges against them, or serving jail time as undertrials.
    1. Anant Singh © TimesNow/PTI
    He is a don-turned-politician from Mokama who is contesting this year on an RJD ticket in the upcoming Bihar elections. Popularly known as Chhote Sarkar in the area, Lalu Prasad Yadav had gotten him arrested in a kidnap and murder case years ago. Even now, Singh is in Bihar’s Beur jail under an UAPA case which was filed against him after weapons including AK-47 were found from his residence in 2019.

    Remember the guy from 2017 who was filmed lynching a migrant worker in Rajasthan and setting him on fire? Yes, that guy reportedly got a ticket to contest the Lok Sabha 2019 general elections from Rampur on a ticket from Uttar Pradesh’s Navnirman Sena. With charges under nine sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Information Technology (IT) Act against him, he was lodged at the Jodhpur Central Jail as an undertrial when he was given the ticket.

    When news broke that Mr Sudrendran had surfaced as Kerala's leading 2019 Lok Sabha candidate with 240 criminal cases against himself, many found it hard to believe. However, it turned out that the news was in fact true, and that the BJP candidate from Pathanamthitta parliamentary constituency had topped the list of those with criminal records contesting the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, followed by Congress’ Dean Kuriakose with 204 cases.

    Now, if you thought this is something that came into trend only recently, you’re wrong. More than a decade ago in 2009, gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli was reported to have contested Assembly elections from jail as a Akhil Bharatiya Sena candidate from the new Byculla Assembly constituency. Gawli had been in Arthur Road jail since September 2008 under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in connection with an extortion case.

    5. Pappu Yadav © TOI
    Who doesn’t know about the infamous Bihar leader and former Madhepura MP Pappu Yadav, aka Rajesh Ranjan. The head of Jan Adhikar Party (JAP) which was formed by him in 2015, is all set to contest the upcoming Bihar polls under a front called the Progressive Democratic Alliance (PDA) with Chandrashekhar Azad’s Azad Samaj Party wherein he aims to present himself as the CM candidate. It is a fact well known that in 2008, Pappu Yadav was sentenced to life imprisonment for ordering the killing of a rival politician Ajit Sarkar in 1998. He had continued to contest elections before finally walking out of jail on bail in 2017.

    This is perhaps the first thing that needs to change about Indian politics - criminals trying to be our representatives and leaders.
