Produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, Sector 36 also features Akash Khurana, Darshan Jariwala, and Baharul Islam in pivotal roles.

Watch the Trailer of ‘Sector 36’ Below:
Hindustan Times: “What helps in convincing us about the brutality of it all is the performances. If you want to witness what people mean when they throw around fancy terms like ‘range of an actor’, watch Deepak Dobriyal in action here. What a fine performance as Inspector Ram Charan Panday.”
Money Control: “Deepak Dobriyal is an acting powerhouse. After Bhediya, the actor looks practically unrecognizable as Inspector Ram. Dobriyal has proved yet again, that he is no longer the hero’s best friend—he radiates main character energy and how! Vikrant Massey is simply phenomenal as a creepy, predatory man who murders children in cold blood and sells their organs for money at the behest of a rich property owner. His sinister laugh, deadpan look and an overall Jeffrey Dahmer-like aura will send shivers down your spine.”
India Today: “Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal, two actors who play the cat-and-mouse-game in the film, provide the perfect nudge to remind you how the case really exposed evil in society. Sector 36 is full of darkness, quite literally and metaphorically as well.”
NDTV Movies: “Massey’s interpretation of the psychotic Prem vacillates between the macabre and the mirthful. One behavioural trait that the character is given is a croaky cackle that he breaks into when he thinks he has cracked a joke or stumbles upon something that amuses him. Deepak Dobriyal, too, fills the screen with his shifty expressions of shock and bafflement as Prem makes a clean breast of diabolical misdeeds. But none of what the two actors transmit in the course of that protracted pivotal sequence delivers the desired punch in the gut.”
The Indian Express: “Massey, in a 360 degree turnaround from the sincere student of 12th Fail, works at making his Prem believable, his unctuous smile and creepy banter hiding his real self: this is not a man you would want waiting for you on a dark street. It is Deepak Dobriyal, spot-on in the way he draws a bead on the suspect after being forced to lift his blinkers, who keeps you watching.”
News18: “The exceptional writing is further elevated by stellar performances from Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal. Vikrant delivers a chilling portrayal of the unstable, maniacal Prem, bringing immense terror and rage to the screen. Deepak Dobriyal, as Ram, complements him perfectly, portraying the transformation from a laid-back cop to a driven reformer, determined to bring Prem to justice.”
Sector 36, which premiered on Netflix on September 13, has emerged as a compelling addition to Netflix’s lineup of crime thrillers.
