Mirzapur remains a favourite Amazon Prime Video show, with fans eagerly waiting for Season 3. The first season of the show was released in 2018, and after its phenomenal success, the second season was released in 2020.
Fans of the web series have been eagerly awaiting the release of the third season, which seems to be taking longer than expected.
On June 9, Amazon Prime Video and the show's social media account teased fans with a cryptic puzzle about Mirzapur Season 3's release date. The post hinted at hiding the Season 3 release date within the image, challenging users to decipher it and sparking a frenzy of speculation on social media.
“Mirzapur S3 release date chuppi hai isme. Dhoond sakte ho toh dhoond lo! (The release date of Mirzapur S3 is hidden here. Find it out if you can),” read the post's caption.
Hints ranged from counting characters in the image to deciphering symbolic elements. Fans utilised everything from jersey numbers to celestial events to crack the code.
“Poochna nahi, dhoondna hai. Toh ho jaiye shuru (Don’t ask. Keep looking for it. Let’s start),” it added. “We’ll start DMing the people who got it right in the comments, one by one.”
“King of Mirzapur likha hai Jeep par. And King ka jersey number hai 18. Season = 3. 18/3 =6. So release date = 18/6=18 June. Confirmed. Admin batao?” wrote one user.
“First Hint: There are 7 people in the frame, that means 7th of this year, that is July, not counting reflection as S2 last episode mai ek tyagi brother mar gaya tha,” wrote another.
“There are 7 people, 7 guns, 7 carpets, which make it 21 and on the corner of the image, we can see a full moon, and 21st July is a full moon night, so is it 21st July?” posted another user.
