Sector 36 is 2024 Indian Hindi-language crime thriller film directed by Aditya Nimbalkar and written by Bodhayan Roychaudhury.

[2] Produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, it stars Vikrant Massey, Deepak Dobriyal and Akash Khurana.

The film opens up with Prem Singh, the house help of a wealthy and powerful businessman Balbir Bassi who is seen chopping a dead girl's corpse and the scene cuts to Sub Inspector (SI) Ram Charan Pandey who is a corrupt officer and is irritated with the daily cases of children missing from the nearby slum and stops registering FIR's as per the orders of his seniors.

After returning to duty, Ram Charan takes Chote Lal into custody and he confesses that Prem had made Chumki disappear.

[10] A critic from Bollywood Hungama gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Sector 36 is not for the faint-hearted and works due to its theme, dramatic moments and brilliant performances by Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobiryal.

[12] Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com gave the film 2.5/5 stars and warns "Sector 36 goes for gruesomeness and shock; watching it needs a tough heart or a quick averting of the eyes.

[14] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and stated that "Vikrant 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.

"[15] Shilajit Mitra of The Hindu stated in his review that "At once vague, violent and exploitative, this Netflix crime thriller based on true events, though impressively shot, inspires no confidence".

[16] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in says in her review that "As a barely disguised dramatisation of a gory crime, Sector 36 doesn’t disappoint.

Brutalised bodies, scattered guts, trails of blood – Aditya Nimbalkar’s movie based on the Nithari serial murders of 2006 is designed to shock.
