Sector 36

Sector 36" delivers a chilling portrayal of the infamous Nithari serial murders, capturing the darkest aspects of human nature. Vikrant Massey's performance as the psychopathic killer is both unsettling and captivating, while Deepak Dobriyal shines as a dedicated cop battling corruption.

The film maintains a gripping, suspense-filled narrative, masterfully balancing horror and investigation. Its dark cinematography enhances the bleak themes, creating an intense viewing experience.

Not for the faint-hearted, but a must-watch for those who can handle its raw exploration of violence and corruption.

Rating: 4.5/5 Recommendation: Watch if you can stomach disturbing content.

In the context of today's Indian Movie or Web Series the term "based on a real-story" has been used repeatedly in recent years. There is nothing wrong in dramatizing a real story to make a film. If films are reflections of society in a given time, it means every film tries to delineate the same in some form or other. If there is only copy cut of a real story that means compromising with creativity. Obviously, projecting reality in a film needs craftsmanship. But that reality can never be just narrating an event with celluloid glittering. Another term that Indian cinema is using repeatedly is "psycho" or "psychopath". Shakespeare's contemporary Ben Johnson identified mental state as "Humour". In Elizabethan England meaning of "humour" was different. It means certain trait of characters that provides uniqueness to every individual. Ben Johnson's humour proves that psycho or psychopath does not specify a certain sector rather it is the reality with ever individual. Psycho is ever present in all. But as today's films use the term psycho and connect it with crime are wrong approaches. But it is natural that a film will try to project what people want to watch.

As crime thriller has attained larger popularity in India, several films have been made on this. Sector 36 released in 2024 is another one. However, Sector 36 falls in the category of "Serial Killing" a different dimension of crime. Serial killing or such mindless slaughtering of the innocents is done because of whim, revenge, superstition and such others happen because of a perverted mentality. But Serial killing can never be characterized as psycho. This will be defaming human emotions. If all are psychos, why only serial killers be attributed with this?

As was expected, Sector 36 has not disappointed the viewers. However, the story of Sector 36 is nothing new. This is bound to happen if a writer throws away creativity while writing film-script and narrates a story just to create sensation. Like other films, Sector 36 suffers from the same ailment. Only celluloid sensation of crime and killing can never be a film script. Naturally, the plot seems swimming with the tide.

Here in such film character building a virtual non-entity. But this is true that despite melodrama, the actors have really performed well. But Vickram Messey does not seem a right choice. Question is not Messey's potentiality. Rather the question is presenting character in a befitting manner.

On the whole, Sector 36 is another addition of Crime Thriller in Bollywood. But is it justified to use a theme repeatedly? The viewers will enjoy watching this. But my apprehension is losing relevance and acceptability of a theme in certain theme. Indian Cinema must see Crime Thriller in Larger Perspective.

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.

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.

This movie is like a roller coaster ride,you shout ,you scream but you enjoy the ride and similarly here you are frightened, you are scared still you continue to watch because you start enjoying the movie. Yes your heart starts racing fast right from the beginning of the movie. Based on real story or can say inspired from real story this movie tried to show all actual facts. Vikrant Massey is a talented actor and here I can say he did his best of his career. Deepak Dobriyal and Vikrant Massey both did an excellent job. As it's based on real story and most of the audience knows about it but still the impact of the movie is such that you watch with sincerety and of course wait for the next scene. It can give goosebumps to anyone who watches this movie. In the end it was like"dil mange more" Loved it as I was both scared and enjoyed while watching the movie.
