“Mirzapur: The Movie” is drawing audiences to theatres even though it does not rely on a conventional Bollywood “superstar” whose name alone typically guarantees an opening, according to NDTV. The coverage emphasizes that the film’s box-office pull comes despite the absence of that familiar star-power model.

The article frames this as a contrast with how many mainstream Bollywood films are marketed and launched, where a single top-billed actor is often used to drive early ticket sales. In this view, “Mirzapur: The Movie” instead benefits from its established franchise recognition and audience interest.

Because only this single outlet is provided, there are no other perspectives included here on production details, performances, or critical reception.
