Rahul Desai The Hollywood Reporter The thing about hard-to-stomach movies is that they tend to be exploitative. Sector 36, too, has its fair share of provocations, but it doesn’t rest on its inherent disturbia. Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express It unravels at the exact point when he is allowed a long diatribe which doubles up as a confession, the build-up of the dread dissipating as he rants on... Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint The police work is scanty, the punishments are fleetingly mentioned, yet the makers suggest that this is indeed how the Nithari murders and investigation panned out. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Radhika Menon Decider Despite good performances and filmmaking, the writing doesn’t deliver. Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Ishita Sengupta OTTplay Based on the high-profile Nithari killings, Sector 36 is less about identifying the perpetrators and more about an investigation into what led — and leads — to the perpetuation of such crimes. Oct 12, 2024 Full Review Jose Solís Common Sense Media In his directorial debut, Aditya Nimbalkar commits the rookie mistake of stuffing his film with too many intentions that confuse rather than enlighten viewers.

Numair H A great Murder Mystery with Vikrant Massey’s brilliance! Vikrant comes through with another huge acting masterpiece in Sector 36 which is inspired by true events, making the movie even more terrifying and thrilling. The plot follows a sociopath murderer who murders young children and sells their organs. The film has a very gritty and dark mood, which is expected. But the story is much more grounded, amplifying the whole plot's truthfulness. With a hint of politics and class system in the plot, the movie rounds up nicely and leaves you thinking for days. With an in-depth plot of the protagonist police officer, the director does an amazing job setting the tone and pace. The technical sides are all amazing with great use of colors and good quick editing to set the pace. Although the framing seems somewhat repetitive of any other Indian film/season, it still doesn’t undermine the performances and the story. The only thing I felt lacking was some parts of the movie feel rushed to progress the story much faster while some parts take it slower. Also, the extras in the movie feel boring to watch as though they are just there to fill part and nothing else. All in all, another great film to watch on Netflix if you love thrillers and murder mysteries. PROS: - Great performances and plot. - Cinematography and good editing. - In depth protagonist and antagonist. CONS: - Somewhat boring Extras. - Pacing changes the flow of the film/plot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Pyae S Must watch movie especially if you are fan of serial killer. The only problem is storytelling and editing otherwise super movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Audience Member Mind blowing acting of all the characters Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Somak B In most cases, when filmmakers hesitate, I loved how the approach here was to portraying a disturbing and brutal tale with an intense tone. Vikrant Massey delivers an unforgettable performance, while Deepak Dobriyal's performance, although falling short of Vikrant's excellence, remains one of the best performances of the year. This film stands out for featuring not just one, but two towering performances. However, it loses points for not being a completely faithful adaptation. It fails to reach the level of "Talwar" in terms of respo Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review j F A rather intense gory movie. It did get confusing at times since there were so many initials and nicknames. But overall, excellent. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Anukriti S It is a delight to watch Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal with their amazing performances in the movie. Being a true crime junkie, I already knew of a lot about the case, thanks to the DesiCrime podcast. Shoutout to the director Aditya Nimbalkar for getting many minor details right like the kothi gate, the nala, the casting of Bassi character. It still felt like I was given no closure(with hope/hopelessness). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
