Next week will see the release of Mirzapur: The Movie and the trade and industry are looking forward to its fate. This is because this is a rare instance in India where a web series has been made into a film. Meanwhile, the producers of the film, Excel Entertainment, headed by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, completed the censor process in time. The film received its certificate today, August 29, revealing that Mirzapur The Movie’s runtime exceeds 3 hours.
As per the details on the website of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the run time of Mirzapur The Movie is 197.19 minutes. In other words, it is 3 hours, 17 minutes and 19 seconds long. The Mirzapur series is known for its profanity and bloodshed and hence, as expected, it has been passed with an ‘A’ certificate.

The Bengal Files (2025) was one minute longer, at 3 hours 24 minutes. Then, Dhurandhar (2025) had a runtime of 3 hours and 34 minutes while its sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge (2026), was even longer at 3 hours and 49 minutes.
