Prakash Belawadi and Nalneesh Neel Discuss What Sets Their Show ‘NCR’ Apart from Vikrant Massey’s Sector 36
"NCR," a bone-chilling investigative drama inspired by the gruesome real-life Nithari killings that shocked the nation in 2006 streams on Atrangii OTT app. Featuring a stellar cast led by Prakash Belawadi as Inspector Vikram Mahaligam, Nalneesh Neel as Jaggi, and Abigail Pande as Swati Mahaligam, a fierce journalist who fights for justice.
Prakash Belawadi, a veteran actor known for his iconic roles in films such as Airlift and The Kashmir Files, weighed in on the inevitable comparisons between NCR and the much-talked-about Sector 36. While both shows explore crime and investigative themes, Belawadi is confident that NCR will stand out.
In a recent discussion, both actors shared their insights on how NCR differs from Sector 36.
Nalneesh Neel remarked,"I encourage everyone to watch Sector 36 and then our show. The audience will recognize the difference—while the story may be similar, the execution and narrative is distinct. Our show is definitely grittier and more close to reality."_
Prakash Belawadi added, "People watch cricket matches 200 days a year—same story, yet they keep tuning in. Our show was made after 4 years of research and we have tried to keep it as close to reality. The characters, storyline, intances shown are truly inspired from the true life horrific acts that happened. I would say that unlike the other series, NCR is more close to reality and though spine chilling, we have tried to be honest with our narration.."
NCR promises to captivate audiences with its powerful storytelling and dynamic performances and is now available on Atrangii OTT.
