Sector 36 is a crime thriller based on the infamous Nithari serial killings in Noida, India. The film centers around a corrupt police inspector, Ram Charan Pandey, who is tasked with investigating a series of gruesome murders in a secluded sector of the city.   Key plot points and spoilers: The Serial Killer: The film introduces Prem Singh, a seemingly ordinary man who is secretly a serial killer. He targets vulnerable women and children, abducting and murdering them in a brutal manner.   The Corrupt Police: Inspector Pandey, despite being aware of the killings, is more interested in personal gain. He takes bribes and turns a blind eye to the crimes, more concerned with protecting his own interests.   The Cat-and-Mouse Game: As the body count rises, Pandey is forced to confront the reality of the situation. He begins to investigate the case, but his efforts are hindered by his own corruption and the interference of powerful individuals.   The Truth Revealed: Eventually, Pandey uncovers evidence linking Prem Singh to the killings. A tense chase ensues, culminating in a confrontation between the inspector and the serial killer.   The Ending: The film concludes with a shocking twist, revealing the true extent of the corruption within the police force and the involvement of high-ranking officials. The fate of the serial killer and the inspector remains ambiguous, leaving the audience to ponder the consequences of their actions. Sector 36 is a dark and disturbing film that explores the themes of corruption, justice, and the human capacity for evil. It offers a fictionalized account of a real-life tragedy, highlighting the devastating impact of serial killings and the failure of law enforcement to protect vulnerable individuals. == Cast == * [[Vikrant Massey]] as Prem Singh ** Raghav Kalra as young Prem * [[Deepak Dobriyal]] as Inspector Ram Charan Pandey * [[Akash Khurana]] as Balbir Singh Bassi, Prem's boss and Jawahar's best friend * [[Darshan Jariwala]] as DCP Jawahar Rastogi * [[Baharul Islam (actor)|Baharul Islam]] as Bhupen Saikia * Ihana Kaur as Vaidehi "Vedu" Pandey, Ram Charan's daughter * Tanushree Das as Chumki Ghosh * Subir Bisawas as Harisadhan Ghosh, Chumki’s father * Kacho Ahmed as Compounder Chote Lal, Prem's friend and accomplice * Ajit Palawat as Constable Shravan Kumar Pathak "Pathak" * Mahadev Lakhawat as Constable Bishnoi * Fareed Ahmad as Prem's uncle * Trimala Adhikari as Jyoti Singh, Prem's wife == Production == The film was announced in June 2022.<ref>{{cite web | author=The Hindu Bureau | title=Maddock Films developing movie series based on 'Arabian Nights', shares 15-film slate | website=The Hindu | date=20 June 2023 | url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/maddock-films-developing-movie-series-based-on-arabian-nights-shares-15-film-slate/article66989650.ece | access-date=24 August 2024 | archive-date=17 September 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240917150803/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/maddock-films-developing-movie-series-based-on-arabian-nights-shares-15-film-slate/article66989650.ece | url-status=live }}</ref> The [[principal photography]] of the film commenced in June 2023.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sector 36: Shoot for Vikrant Massey-Deepak Dobiryal Starrer Crime-Thriller Starts Today |url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/sector-36-shoot-for-vikrant-massey-deepak-dobiryal-starrer-crime-thriller-starts-today-5359345.html |website=News18 |language=en |date=13 June 2022}}</ref> == Release == The film had its world premiere at the [[Indian Film Festival of Melbourne|15th Indian Film Festival of Melbourne]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/hindi/news/2024/Aug/23/vikrant-masseys-sector-36-premiers-at-the-indian-film-festival-of-melbourne | title=Vikrant Massey's Sector 36 premiers at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne | website=[[Cinema Express]] | access-date=24 August 2024 | archive-date=17 September 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240917150758/https://www.cinemaexpress.com/hindi/news/2024/Aug/23/vikrant-masseys-sector-36-premiers-at-the-indian-film-festival-of-melbourne | url-status=live }}</ref> on 18 August 2024.<ref>{{cite web |title=Indian Film Festival Of Melbourne |url=https://www.iffm.com.au/iffm-schedule.html |website=iffm.com.au |language=en |access-date=16 August 2024 |archive-date=17 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240917150641/https://www.iffm.com.au/iffm-schedule.html |url-status=live }}</ref> It premiered on [[Netflix]] on 13 September 2024.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sector 36: Vikrant Massey And Deepak Dobriyal's Crime Thriller Set For September Release, Deets Inside |url=https://www.news18.com/movies/sector-36-vikrant-massey-and-deepak-dobriyals-crime-thriller-set-for-september-release-deets-inside-9013004.html |website=News18 |language=en |date=12 August 2024 |access-date=16 August 2024 |archive-date=16 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240816141746/https://www.news18.com/movies/sector-36-vikrant-massey-and-deepak-dobriyals-crime-thriller-set-for-september-release-deets-inside-9013004.html |url-status=live }}</ref> == Music == {{Infobox album | name = Sector 36 | year = 2024 | type = soundtrack | artist = OAFF—Savera, Dhunkey, Gourov Dasgupta and [[Kanishk Seth (musician)|Kanishk Seth]] | released = 12 September 2024 | recorded = 2023 | studio = | genre = [[Soundtrack#Film and television soundtracks|Feature film soundtrack]] | length = 14:44 | language = Hindi | label = [[Sony Music India]] | producer = | misc = {{external music video| header = Official audio |{{YouTube|W9lOsBS5cFk|Sector 36 (Audio Jukebox)}} }} }} The music of the film is composed by OAFF—Savera, Dhunkey, Gourov Dasgupta and [[Kanishk Seth (musician)|Kanishk Seth]] while the background score is composed by Ketan Sodha.
