Hyderabad: Sector 36, the much-anticipated crime thriller starring Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal, has finally hit Netflix. Directed by debutant Aditya Nimbalkar, the film is inspired by the real-life 2006 Noida serial murders, also known as the Nithari killings. With the film out, social media is flooded with positive reviews of the Vikrant and Deepak starrer.
The chilling tale explores the horrors of power, crime, and social inequality, as it follows the terrifying disappearance of several children from a North Indian slum. Vikrant Massey plays Prem Singh, a cold-blooded serial killer hiding behind the facade of a humble house help in an affluent home. His character abducts and murders children without remorse.
