Review: Can a film capture the horror of one of India's most gruesome crimes while still engaging its audience? Sector 36 attempts to do just that. This 123-minute film is a gripping crime thriller, loosely inspired by the Nithari serial killings of Noida (2005). With creative twists, the film revisits this harrowing story, offering a chilling and relentless narrative that’s not for the faint of heart. If crime thrillers are your genre, this film won't disappoint.
The film opens with a deeply unsettling scene where Prem (Vikrant Massey), a seemingly ordinary caretaker in Sector 36, Delhi, brutally dismembers a girl's body. On the surface, Prem appears to be a devoted family man, with a routine that includes watching 'Sab Banenge Crorepati' religiously. However, his dark side is revealed as he derives pleasure from murdering teenagers. As the cases of missing teenagers pile up, Inspector Ram Charan Pandey (Deepak Dobriyal) takes charge of the investigation.
Aditya Nimbalkar, in his directorial debut, delivers a provocative portrayal of the harsh realities and systemic issues in the quest for justice. The film sets a grim tone from the start, portraying Prem's descent into madness while underscoring themes of social inequality. The glimpses into Prem’s troubled past are well-conveyed, but they do little to evoke empathy for his character. Despite the compelling storyline by Bodhayan Roychaudhury, the film struggles to match the emotional intensity of the real-life events it draws inspiration from.
