Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal deliver intense performances, though the film faces criticism for its pacing and underdeveloped characters.

    Intense

    Loosely taking references from the infamous nithari horror case , it was a DELIGHT to watch the film.

    Nothing can engross you more than a set of good actors justifying their characters.

    This film is a masterclass in Realism .

    Dark underbelly of crimes against children / vulnerable immigrants who have little or no rights , frustration of not getting justice , power perplexities and the great divide in society ....no issue has been left out.

    The film does leave you with more questions and a sense of despair .....but that's the whole point.

    The viewer does get compelled to think

    Vikrant messi's all blossomed and deepak dobriyal simply SHINE.

    Could be more detailed

    Movie is good but could be more detailed.

    Nithari case is huge & unfortunate and could not be told in a 2 hours' movie.

    A limited series shall be launched on this case.

    Movie is dark and will make you stick to the screen.

    Casting is perfect.

    Both, Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal have done justice with their roles.

    In real life, both the culprits of the crime have been released from the jail due to the lack of evidence.

    Though, the movie is only inspired by the true events and is a work of fiction (that's what they say in their disclaimer).

    Movie somewhat showcased the politics between judiciary and police.

    There was mo dancing out of the blue, that's already positive.

    When I think about Indian cinema I immediately imagine some Bollywood production, expecting very colourful scenes and crazy but also annoying dance routines. I mean that's most of the time the case with movies from there but with Sector 36 they came with something different, something decent for once. It's about a serial killer, one who preys on victims from the lower classes. And although the castes system in India shouldn't be discriminatory anymore by now, at least by law, it's still very present over there and that they made very clear in this movie. Some reviewers wrote it was sometimes hard to watch but I thought it was pretty mild. Maybe the story is harsh but the graphics were just mild and not really shocking. Good story, decent acting, never boring, so in short certainly worth a watch.

    Deepak and Vikrant, another Wednesday

    Sector 36 is a compelling cinematic experience that excels in several key areas. The film's cinematography and overall filmmaking are notably impressive, creating a visually engaging and polished final product. The cast delivers strong performances, with Deepak Dobariyal standing out for his extraordinary portrayal, which many consider a career-defining role.

    Vikrant Massey plays a cunning character who, while not embodying the traditional traits of a criminal, offers a satisfying performance that adds to the film's intrigue. The film's pacing and narrative structure are well-crafted, delivering key plot points and twists at just the right moments.

    The film also benefits from Netflix's commitment to quality content, as evidenced by its effective use of budget and resources. Symbolic scenes, such as the cockroach being crushed and the reel Ravan chasing the real Ravan, are particularly noteworthy for their depth and creativity. Overall, Sector 36 is a strong entry in its genre, deserving of a high rating and recognition for its impressive execution.

    Unfolding Insane Melodrama.

    Tone, Script & Story: The story is about children going missing in sector 36 and nearby areas in Delhi.

    As shown in the trailer, there is no search for the culprit. It is established since the beginning who it is.

    What grabs ones attention is the way how culprit confesses? He has no shame. He is insane and fearless.

    The crime involves killing, chopping, consuming, selling organs of innocent individuals. The crime against about 25 people is confessed most of them being children.

    The movie is depressing. The culprit has his associate among some bigger name. Despite the confession the culprits are set loose. Further into the investigation an officer is killed additionally. It happens because of involvement of men in power. We can see his missing poster as well.

    Acting: Acting from all of the cast is executed well. After 12th fail Vikrant Massey's performance is worth mentioning.

    Final Verdict: I wanted a positive ending. The movie is inspired from true events. What are makers trying to convey? Is the horror still existing? I will say watch it if u can accept negative ending and for the captured confession.

    • Trivia
      The Nithari incident from which the movie is inspired happened in a house in Sector 31 , Noida in UP. The name of the movie states Sector 36 which is adjacent to Sector 31 in Noida and not the exact Sector where the crime was committed. Also movie makers have taken cinematic liberty in placing the incident in Delhi rather than in Noida.
    • Goofs
      SPOOF: When the sub-inspector is murdered in the car, he is shown being stabbed 12 times. However, in the following scene, when his body appears again, his shirt only has four visible stab wounds, the same ones shown in the initial frame. The other eight stab wounds seem to have left no marks on his shirt, creating a noticeable continuity error.
