Like two dishes made from the same ingredients, the two adaptations of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley portray the same elements of the titular character but at different story stages and with starkly contrasting final products.
Sector 36 is a Hindi crime thriller featuring Vikrant Massey as a chilling serial killer and Deepak Dobriyal as a police officer facing a moral awakening after his daughter’s near abduction. Despite Massey’s notable performance, the film falters with predictable storytelling, dumbing down motives, and lackluster suspense elements. Overall, it struggles to stand out in the genre.
