Release strategy

Amazon Prime Video included the film in its 2026 slate announcement in March 2026, and it opened in cinemas on 4 September 2026. A day before release, a PIL filed in the Allahabad High Court sought a stay, alleging obscenity, abusive language, excessive violence and derogatory references to Mirzapur district. The court declined interim relief because the respondents had not been given sufficient notice, and adjourned the hearing for four weeks, to October 2026.

Prime Video has not announced a streaming date for the film as of 25 September 2026. Amazon MGM Studios is one of its producers.
