The CBFC has cleared the upcoming film ‘Mirzapur The Movie’ with an A‑certificate, confirming a final runtime exceeding three hours.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has officially approved the feature‑length adaptation of the popular web series ‘Mirzapur’, granting it an A‑certificate. The board’s decision also locks the film’s final runtime at more than three hours, marking it as one of the lengthier releases slated for the year.
An A‑certificate indicates that the movie is restricted to adult audiences, reflecting the gritty, violent tone that the original series is known for. Industry observers note that the certification aligns with the franchise’s established brand, which has consistently targeted mature viewers across its digital seasons.
With certification secured, the producers are now poised to finalize distribution plans and set a theatrical release date. The extended runtime suggests a comprehensive narrative that aims to expand the storyline beyond the confines of the streaming format, potentially drawing both existing fans and new audiences to cinemas.
The clearance comes as the ‘Mirzapur’ franchise continues to generate buzz ahead of its big‑screen debut, with expectations of strong box‑office performance given the series’ cult following in India and among the diaspora.
