On November 16th, The Clash Will Be Between Mirzapur And Narcos

Bollywood films clash with each other time and again but, now the popular clash culture has made its way to the OTT platforms with a high-profile clash between Mirzapur and Narcos season 4: Mexico. The trailers of both the digital series are out will see a release on the November 16th 2018.

While Narcos' 4th season brings to the audience the story of the drug cartels in Mexico, Mirzapur is a leaflet from closer home that deals with the dreaded drug lords of Purvanchal, Mirzapur.

Narcos is set against the international backdrop tracing the rise and fall of drug cartels, Mirzapur is set in the heartland of India and presents a more rooted and raw depiction of the city.

When quizzed about the clash, director Karan Anshuman was confident with the effect Mirzapur will have on its audience. Quipped he, "I don't think the clash affects because let's be honest, this is our world, it is our story, by our I mean an Indian thing, and it is very rooted in what our reality is. Yes, we have the resources to make it look great and on a technical level be right up there, so that really helps with an Excel Media & Entertainment and Amazon Prime Video because of the scale, on a technical manner to match up with the best and I can tell you we have done that. We have used the same equipment and our technicians are as good as Hollywood has."

He continued saying, "That aside, your story and your characters are not trying and pretending to be someone else, the truer you are to yourself in terms of who these people are and where they come from and this is what the story is actually will resonate with the global audience in any case. Especially in the case of Mirzapur, because it is such an alien world, I know a lot of American team people, there were many things that they did not understand because they did not have the cultural context but the same guys when they saw the show they loved every moment of it, they were gushing in their praise of how it had turned out, these were the same guys who did not get it on paper because once you pull down the world and start connecting on an emotional level with the characters, then it doesn't matter." 

Narcos: Mexico will explore the origins of the modern drug war by going back to a time when the Mexican trafficking world was a loose and disorganized confederation of independent growers and dealers. The series will chart the rise of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s. 

Mirzapur stars an ensemble cast of Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Vikrant Massey, Divyendu Sharma, Kulbhushan Kharbanda in crucial roles. Mirzapur and Narcos: Mexico both start streaming on November 16.
