J.P. Yadhav asks Zarina to betray Madhuri and offers to give her a seat in his political party under the leadership of Kushwaha. Zarina asks J.P. Yadhav to make her the next contender for the CM of Uttar Pradesh and agrees to spend the night with him as she was already paid for it.

The next day, Madhuri unveils the statue of her late father, former CM S.P. Yadhav. Zarina brings all the other MLAs that J.P. Yadhav was trying to poach from Madhuri’s political party to Sharad.

Sharad tells Madhuri that all the MLAs are going to stick with their party. Madhuri tries to prod Sharad and asks him to come clean about the bad things he has done in the past.

Sharad tells Madhuri that Kaleen is alive and under his protection instead of confessing to killing her father. Madhuri asks Sharad to arrange a meeting between her and Kaleen. She also distances herself from Sharad.

Kaleen goes to meet Madhuri upon Sharad’s persistence. He tells Madhuri that Sharad killed her father to get to Kaleen.

Madhuri tells Kaleen that she has held Beena and his newborn son hostage. She asks Kaleen to do as she says if he wants to see his family alive.

Madhuri also states that Guddu is in her custody and offers Kaleen the opportunity to kill him so that he can avenge Munna.

Does Guddu meet Golu?

Guddu is taken to a boat where he meets Golu and is relieved to see her alive. The two kiss as the show ends.

How does Mirzapur Season 3 end?

A post-credit scene shows Radhiya meeting Maqbool with a message from Beena.

The Episode Review

This season looks entirely pointless as we are all back to Kaleen being the sole powerful don in all of Purvanchal, just like it was when it all started with him and Babuji many years ago.

Now that he knows he has an heir, which could be Babuji’s son (and his step-brother) for that matter, I am curious to know what will happen if Kaleen finds out that the child is not his.

The angst between Guddu and Golu has finally come to an end now that the two have successfully reunited.

I did not know there needed to be a romantic angle between them but the build-up, right from Season 2 was proof that these two were destined to find their way to each other.

Throughout this season, we saw how Radhiya aspired to be a lot like Golu.

I wonder if she is trying to lure Maqbool to Golu and she is not really Beena’s messenger.

We will only know more once the next season of this show is released and it is not clear how many years that will take.
