Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 47% of 15 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.1/10.[10][11]

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] Vineeta Kumar of India Today gave 3 stars out of 5 and said "A crime thriller like Sector 36 is not for all. It is gory, cold and sends shivers down your spine".[13] 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] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated 2 stars out of 5 and said that "A portrait of a psychopath is never easy to pull off. Sector 36, inspired by the 2005-2006 Nithari killings, attempts the task without achieving much success".[15] 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."[16]

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".[17] 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."[18]

Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times writes in his review that "It’s the typical, done-to-death montage of news articles. I strongly feel it hampers the film's flow, and doesn't go with the overall mood, but to each his own."[19]
