            Mirzapur is a tale of trigger-happy gangsters with sharp minds and dry humour, where loyalties change in a flash and cold cash rules. Violence is an everyday occurrence where complete and utter dominance is the goal. Politicians, cops, lawyers, and mafia lords are involved in a complex web of relationships and rivalries.Akhandanand Tripathi, also known as 'Kaleen Bhaiya', is a millionaire carpet exporter and the don of the city of Mirzapur, which lies in the hinterland, a lawless belt of Purvanchal in eastern India. Mirzapur is the most coveted seat of power in the region. The ruthless Tripathis have been the unchallenged rulers of Mirzapur since Satyananda Tripathi, Akhandanand's father, took the reins of the city twenty years ago in a bloody uprising.Munna Tripathi, Akhandanand's son, is power hungry and will not stop at anything to inherit his father's legacy, an empire built on illegal gun trade and opium smuggling. But his own father believes him unready for seat.Guddu and Bablu Pandit are the sons of the city's only righteous and upstanding lawyer and activist, Ramakant Pandit. Guddu and Bablu aspire for a better life, that breaks the drudgery of middle-class living, while Ramakant crusades to take on the mighty Tripathis.An unrelated incident, involving Munna at a wedding procession, ignites a series of events entangling the lives of the Tripathis and the Pandits. This sets off a game of ambition, power, loyalty and greed, eventually threatening the control of the Tripathis's on Mirzapur.

            Nutan (Newton) Kumar, a rookie government clerk on reserve is sent on election duty to a Nicolette-Maoist insurgency Naxal-controlled town in the conflict-ridden jungles of India, when one of the main duty officers is found to be facing heart problems. Faced with the apathy of war-torn security forces and the looming fear of guerrilla attacks by communist rebels, he tries his best to conduct free and fair voting despite the odds stacked against him. He is disappointed when the voters do not turn up for the election. Later when a foreign reporter turns up at the polling station the security forces force the villagers from the constituency to turn up to cast their votes. When one of them enters the polling booth, he becomes bewildered with the voting machine and its operation.After talking to the lot, soon Newton realizes that they have no idea what the election is about. Some thought they would earn money from this, while others asked hopelessly about getting paid sufficiently for their work. He desperately tries to educate them but to no avail. Taking the lead, the frustrated security head pushes him aside and shames the villagers by telling them that these officers have risked their lives for their vote, and they should not turn them away, and that the voting machine is a toy; there are symbols of elephants, cycles, etc. and they could press any symbol they like (leaving them uneducated about the fact that those symbols represent respective political parties). So while they vote their favourite symbol, instead of politicians they have never heard about, the foreign reporter gets a good news report about India's democracy.Newton wants to sit at the polling booth for the stipulated time but is forced to flee due to a Naxal ambush which he realises later was staged by the forces. On gaining such knowledge, he tried to outrun his escort team back to the polling booth, but gets caught on both sides, and is forcefully taken back to safety. On the way back Newton decides to collect votes of four villagers who suddenly turn up from deep inside the forest. The Chief of Security is reluctant to let them do so. It is here where the film gives the viewer the conundrum of the situation in war torn areas, through two men without any rivalry, bent on their duty, yet a stark difference, exposing the conundrum of truth. Taking his duty very seriously, Newton steals the Chief's gun and holds the officer at gunpoint till the villagers cast their votes. The chief comments out of frustration that it was not his wish to conduct such polling here in an area secured 6 months ago, having more landmines than men. He tells that he doesn't want to lose more brave boys like they already have anymore, even when the government cannot even supply them night vision goggles they have been asking for 2 years. Newton keeps him at gunpoint even after the voting for the remaining two minutes of his official duty (till 3pm). The security forces then beat him up out of frustration.The movie concludes with a shot of the area six months later, showing mining activity going on. The Chief of Security is shown shopping in civil dress suggesting his suspension/expulsion from army and indulging his wife and daughter over a bottle of olive oil, with the implication of the family facing a tough financial situation.[11] Newton is shown in his office wearing cervical collar for his neck injury from the beating but happy otherwise keeping up with his old ways. He is visited by the local election officer Malko who asks him what happened after she left as she is unaware of the events and Newton asks her to tell everything over tea, but only after five minutes, when Newton's scheduled lunch break begins.

Vicky's mysterious friend, (Shraddha Kapoor) is seen at the bus stop, the next day, where Vicky bids her farewell, without even knowing her name, while on the bus, the mysterious girl is seen carrying that witch's braid which she then places over her own hair and both merge as if it was her own hair all along and she disapparates, leaving the viewers guessing whether or not the character portrayed by Shraddha Kapoor was actually the spirit (Stree) that haunted Chanderi or a different one who just wanted to obtain powers for herself, which the writers have promised to unveil in the next part of this movie. The closing scene shows the witch hovering at the outskirts of Chanderi again the following year but this time at the town entrance, she finds her statue with the words engraved "O stree, raksha karna" which means, "O Deity, protect us" thus ending with a powerful message about female power a reminder of the norms that a society should abide by, that without respecting women a society can never thrive and prosper.

            Bitti (Kriti Sanon) is a young contemporary girl in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, who works in the complaint department of the local electricity board and is the apple of her father's eye. Like most Indian mothers, Bitti's mother wants to see her daughter get married to a nice man from a good family. Bitti, however, wants a husband who understands her and, more importantly, who accepts her exactly the way she is. A suitor comes but after knowing his disgusting mindset, she lies about not being a virgin and gets rejected. Her mother gets irritated with the constant rejections, but her father understands her. She gets heartbroken after hearing her parents conversation and later pours her heart out before her father who consoles and cheers her.That night, despite having nowhere to go, she leaves her house and boards a train. While on a train platform, she chances upon a book at a bookstall and buys it. As she reads the novel entitles Bareilly Ki Barfi, Bitti starts to identify with the protagonist. Having found acceptance in the pages of the book, she decides to return home the same night. She longs to meet the writer and thus one day decides to search for the supposed writer of the book, Pritam Vidrohi (Rajkummar Rao). She goes back to the same bookstall where she had brought that book and asks about its writer. The bookshop owner directs her to Chirag Dubey (Ayushmann Khurana), who owns a printing press and who helped publish the book.What Bitti doesn't know is that Chirag is in fact the true author of the book. He had written that book five years previously, after undergoing pain when his girlfriend ditched him and married someone else. He wrote that book describing his girlfriend Bubbly and their love story. Since giving his own name as the writer might destroy his ex-girlfriend's reputation, he coaxes one of his meek, so-called friend "Pritam Vidrohi" to have his name as the writer of the book. Vidrohi agrees but gets so scared of the possible future scenarios, that he leaves the city without telling anyone. He need not have been so worried, because in the five years since the book had been self-published by Chirag, not a single copy had ever been sold, except the copy that Bitti had purchased on the railway platform that day.Bitti tries to get Vidrohi's whereabouts from Chirag but Chirag successfully manages to convince her to write letters to the author instead of meeting him personally. She writes a letter to Vidrohi for Chirag to pass on to him. Chirag, being the true author, writes back and passes it off as Vidrohi's response. Thus begins a correspondence between Bitti and 'Vidrohi'. In the meantime, Chirag and Bitti get to know each other better and become good friends. Bitti, however, starts to lose patience when Vidrohi, despite her repeated requests, refuses to meet her. She broaches this with Chirag and implores him to arrange for her to meet Vidrohi just once. Chirag agrees and as he has fallen for Bitti and decides to tell her the truth, that he is the actual writer. But later he learns that Bitti's mother hates that writer for spoiling their daughter's mind and thus decides not to tell the truth, instead search for Vidrohi and make him the scapegoat.Chirag visits Lucknow, where Vidrohi works as a salesman in a saree showroom, and convinces him to act like a boor, with a bad & short-tempered attitude, so that Bitti will be cured of her long-distance infatuation. Thus, at first meeting with Bitti, Vidrohi, as instructed, pretends to be a rude and boorish person, causing Bitti to get annoyed leave. However, despite his rude behavior, Vidrohi shows a sensitive side, that ultimately makes Bitti and her family have second opinion. Bitti invites Vidrohi for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of her family sweet shop. Instead of going along with Chirag's plan (which was refusing and leaving for Lucknow), Vidrohi accets the invitation, saying that he doesn't want to break her heart. A furious Chirag stars beating up Vidrohi in the evening, until Vidrohi reveals the real reason why he decided to stay back: He had fallen for Bitti's friend, Rama. Seeing how this would kee Vidrohi and Bitti apart, Chirag tells him he fully supports Vidrohi, when in reality, he doesn't care, as long as Vidrohi stays away from Bitti. Bitti's mother, however, sees the perfect son-in-law in Vidrohi. Chirag lies about Vidrohi saying that he is a divorcee (since marrying a divorcee is considered a taboo).One day, when Chirag, Vidrohi, Bitti and Rama go on an outing together, Vidrohi reveals his feelings for Rama to her. While Rama does like him, she rejects him because she (indirectly) learned from Chirag that he is a divorcee. After years of bullying, this turns out to be the final straw for Vidrohi and tells Chirag that he will take away Chirag's girl with a snap of his fingers. Chirag, believing that Bitti will never fall for someone like Vidrohi, accepts the challenge. To his shock, Vidrohi's jerk with a heart of gold persona starts winning over Bitti and everybody's hearts. Ultimately Vidrohi comes to Chirag and Munna and invites them to his wedding engagement with Bitti. Chirag threatens to reveal everything to Bitti, saying that if he can't be happy, then no one should be. Vidrohi calls Chirag out for his selfishness and tells him he can do whatever he wants. Chirag goes to Bitti to tell her the truth, but is unable to say anything to her after seeing how happy she is. He realizes how his selfishness had blinded him and how he never cared about anybody else's happiness. He realizes that he is happy as long as Bitti is happy, and how he himself is responsible for everything. He writes some lines for Bitti on behalf of Vidrohi, and meets him. Chirag apologizes Vidrohi for dragging him into the mess and for his behavior. Vidrohi forgives him and he requests Chirag to come to his engagement, this time in a very sincere manner.On the day of engagement, Vidrohi says he has a sore throat asks Chirag to recite those lines for Bitti. Chirag begins to recite the lines, but his emotions overcome him. The entire speech leaves everyone in tears. Seeing how Chirag is willing to let Bitti marry Vidrohi for the sake of her happiness, she decides to reveal the truth: Vidrohi had revealed everything to Bitti including the fact that Chirag was the real author of Bareilly ki Barfi, and everything, from Vidrohi refusing to go back to Lucknow, to Rama rejecting him, to Bitti and Vidrohi's engagement, to Vidrohi conveniently having a sore throat at the very last moment, was an act, just to test whether Chirag really loved Bitti, or if he just was in love with the shadow of his ex-girlfriend, Bubbly, that he saw in her. She reveals that she too is in love with Chirag. Chirag apologizes to Vidrohi again for everything and the two hug each other.The movie ends with Chirag and Bitti getting together, while Vidrohi gets together with Rama. The narrator asks the viewers to taste the famous 'barfi' if they ever visit Bareilly.
