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.
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.

Overall, Sector 36 is a strong entry in its genre, deserving of a high rating and recognition for its impressive execution.

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.

The movie was okay but I felt the ending was missing, they could have added more information in the end or could have had a better ending to the story.
In the first half of the movie around 15-20 mins, it was holding me there completely but after that, I felt it was stretching the story.
I liked the acting of Vikrant Massey and I admire him for all the hard work he puts into the movies to make them perfect but personally, I don't wanna see him doing this kind of movie after watching great role/acting in his in all movies like 12th fail, Forensic, Broken , Hasin Dilrubba, Love Hostel, and Chappak.
I had expected more from this movie but it was average for me.

- TriviaThe 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.
- GoofsSPOOF: 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.
