## Spoilers
### Plot
Julio and Regalo Miranda are devoted brothers in a Goan suburb who share a dream of sporting glory. Julio, the elder, is hot-headed and entangled with a local drug gang led by Morocho ([Rahul Dev](https://www.edgepedia.org/rahul-dev)), while Regalo, an adopted child abandoned outside a church, is responsible and level-headed. Both are bound to their mother, Susan Miranda (Manasi Joshi Roy), a baker and activist protesting a local minister's deforestation plans[1](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/the-miranda-brothers/etmoviereview/114589773.cms) • [6](https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/the-miranda-brothers-review/20241025.htm).
Susan dies under suspicious circumstances, run down by a car that Regalo witnesses without being able to identify the driver. Her death fractures the brothers' bond: Regalo wants to crack the Goa Football League tryouts, while Julio wants revenge at any cost. The plot converges on a local football final that decides both brothers' fates, with coach Carter ([Sanjay Suri](https://www.edgepedia.org/sanjay-suri)) promising to tell Julio who killed his mother and the league boss offering contracts only if the brothers win[1](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/the-miranda-brothers/etmoviereview/114589773.cms) • [7](https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/streaming/the-miranda-brothers-review-goa-football-and-filmmaking-crimes).
The supporting cast includes Sahher Bambba as Sol, Jeniffer Piccinato as Julio's girlfriend Isabella, Surya Sharma as Max Marroko, and Naved Jaffrey as coach Guerrera[8](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33246678/fullcredits/).
## Production
The film was shot under the working title **Miranda Boys**. It went on the floors in March 2022 in Goa and was shot there over 25 days; by April 2022, more than 80 percent of the film was complete and Gupta had begun post-production[9](https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/exclusives/exclusive-harshvardhan-rane-meezaan-wrap-80-percent-miranda-boys-25-days-plot-details-revealed-1068029). Early reports described the premise as two brothers who choose different paths in the same professional sphere, with football in the backdrop and an emotional undercurrent revolving around the mother[9](https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/exclusives/exclusive-harshvardhan-rane-meezaan-wrap-80-percent-miranda-boys-25-days-plot-details-revealed-1068029).
**Casting without stars.** In an interview before release, Gupta said the casting had to be simple because he needed two actors well-versed in football and wanted to make the film immediately. He stated that none of the stars at that time were willing to do a direct-to-OTT film, and that shooting in Goa taught him he was not dependent on a crew of 300[10](https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/the-miranda-brothers-director-sanjay-gupta-you-cannot-have-fearless-storytelling-anymore-23415975).
The crew included cinematographer Shikhar Bhatnagar and editor Manish More[4](https://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/movies/the-miranda-brothers/cast-crew.html). The soundtrack includes the song "Be My Mehbooba", performed by [Darshan Raval](https://www.edgepedia.org/darshan-raval) and [Neeti Mohan](https://www.edgepedia.org/neeti-mohan)[11](https://www.gadgets360.com/entertainment/the-miranda-brothers-movie-128891).
## Release
The film was certified A by the [Central Board of Film Certification](https://www.edgepedia.org/central-board-of-film-certification) in 2024[12](https://cbfcindia.gov.in/cbfcAdmin/assets/pdf/List_of_feature_films_certified_2024.pdf) and premiered on JioCinema on 25 October 2024, its theatrical and OTT release dates listed as the same day[3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33246678/releaseinfo/) • [5](https://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/movies/the-miranda-brothers/ott.html). It later became available on JioHotstar with a subscription in India[13](https://ottasia.com/title/movie/1371763/the-miranda-brothers?country=IN).
## Critical reception
The film received largely negative reviews. Dhaval Roy of the Times of India gave it 2.0 out of 5, writing that it squandered a promising premise through unfocused storytelling and underdeveloped characters, while noting that the football matches were realistically depicted and that the final Goa Football League tryout showcased the actors' athletic abilities[1](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/the-miranda-brothers/etmoviereview/114589773.cms). Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost also rated it 2 out of 5, criticizing the focus on the leads' physiques over the vulnerability the story of loss required[14](https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/the-miranda-brothers-movie-review-harshvardhan-rane-meezaan-jafris-football-drama-loses-the-game-quickly-after-it-begins-13828951.html/amp).
Deepa Gahlot's Rediff review, titled "Damp Squib", called the film short on humor, romance and real drama, and observed that despite the Goa setting nobody in the film sounds Goan[6](https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/the-miranda-brothers-review/20241025.htm). The Hollywood Reporter India's review described the film as dated, criticizing a climax in which stadium fans chat through a broad-daylight murder on the pitch, and football staged like the violence of Gupta's *Shootout at Wadala* (2013)[7](https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/streaming/the-miranda-brothers-review-goa-football-and-filmmaking-crimes). Troy Ribeiro of the Free Press Journal, giving 3 stars, called it a formulaic drama that blends sports, familial loyalty and brotherhood without fully committing to any[2](https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/the-miranda-brothers-review-harshvardhan-ranes-film-is-a-formulaic-bollywood-drama). An OTTplay review found the death, mystery and revenge elements underused as narrative pivots, though it credited the film with platforming football, a sport with a limited footprint in mainstream [Hindi cinema](https://www.edgepedia.org/hindi-cinema)[15](https://www.ottplay.com/features/the-miranda-brothers-jerky-storytelling-wasteful-performances/bfba9fc9a9452).
