Plot
The movie begins in Italy, with Jai (Prabhas) practicing guitar when a girl runs to him and asks him to save her from a gang of goons chasing her. Then Jai, without fighting, resolves the conflict. The girl introduces herself as Manasa (Richa Gangopadhyay). They slowly become friends, but one day she asks Jai to leave her and go as she cannot stand the separation from him if their relationship develops any further. He then goes back to India and changes the mind of Manasa's violent brother Poorna (Subbaraju), and when they give a vacation he goes with him to his village. There, where everyone are violent and conservative in nature, he changes their nature and makes them more lovable. Manasa's family expresses their wish to marry her to Jai.
When Manasa expresses her love for him, he tells his flashback. It is then revealed that he was born to their rival's family. When Jai was a child, his father Deva (Sathyaraj) wanted to reform the people of his village from unnecessary violence. But his mother Latha (Nadhiya) didn't want to stay there, so she left him. Many years later when Jai goes there, he falls in love with his cousin Vennela (Anushka Shetty).
Manasa's uncle was threatening Deva to give him some land, but Deva refused which Jai does not appericiate. He started taking revenge on Manasa's family without revealing his identity. Then they decide to marry Jai with Vennela because they both are in love with each other. During the marriage, the inspector tells his father that the enmity is rekindling because his son is taking revenge on the rivals. Soon afterwards, the rivals come and start killing everyone. After the fight, Latha dies. Deva banishes him and blames her death on him. The story is now back to the present. Manasa's uncle challenges Jai that if he can defeat his men then he too would follow nonviolence. After successfully defeating them, her uncle asks Jai that if he could defeat the rival's son (not knowing that it was Jai himself) he would marry Manasa to Jai.
Jai gets angry at his stubbornness and reveals his true identity. He starts fighting with Manasa's uncle. Then all her family members come and convert him too. This was watched by his father who had just arrived there. His father welcomes him back to the family. The film ends with him reuniting with Vennela. [6]

Reception
Critical reception
Jalapathy Gudelli gave the film 3.25 stars out of 5, concluding his review that "Mirchi showcases Prabhas in different avatar. Neat package of masala moments and Prabhas are the strengths. Mirchi is a decent entertainer and time pass flick".[32] Jeevi gave a rating of 3.25 out of 5, commenting that "First half of Mirchi is decent. Flashback episode which occupies 100% of second half is good. Climax could have been better. The plus points of the film are Prabhas, music and all-round orientation. On a whole, Mirchi has all the ingredients of a commercial potboiler".[33] Mahesh S Koneru gave his verdict that "At the Box Office, the film will turn in a good commercial performance", giving the film a score of 3.25/5.[34] Way2movies also gave a rating of 3.25/5, giving the verdict that "Prabhas rocks the show in this decent yet formulaic commercial entertainer".[35] Super good movies gave the film 3 stars in a scale of 5, reviewing that "Go and Watch Mirchi, It entertains both Class and Mass. It is a worth watch".[36]
In the contrary, The Times of India gave the film a revised rating of 3.5/5 (from 2.5/5), recommending the film, "Watch it for Prabhas, for there isn't much of anything else that this movie has to offer, besides extreme close-ups of Richa's waistline."[37] NDTV Movies gave the film a mixed review, stating that "apart from good direction and strong performances by lead actors, Mirchi lacks narrative power and is loosely based on an amalgamation of some old films, which makes the film quite predictable."[38]
