Get ready for an ordinary dabba (lunchbox) to unravel a world of felonies and misdeeds, where what you see is never what you get. ‘Dabba Cartel’ is a unique tale of a reluctant cartel: the lives of five middle-class women and their families are thrown into chaos when their low-key dabba service spirals into an unexpected venture — a high-stakes drug delivery operation. The women-led cartel is now thrust into peril, while the men — employees of a pharmaceutical company, called Viva Life, at the center of this syndicate — are being investigated for ties to an illegal pharmaceutical drug.

Produced by Excel Entertainment and directed by Hitesh Bhatia, ‘Dabba Cartel’ is a riveting drama, set to premiere on February 28 on Netflix. Created by Shibani Akhtar, Vishnu Menon, Gaurav Kapur, and Akanksha Seda, the series features an acclaimed ensemble cast, bringing together powerhouses like Shabana Azmi, Gajraj Rao, Jyotika, Nimisha Sajayan, Shalini Pandey, Anjali Anand, Sai Tamhankar, Jisshu Sengupta, Lillete Dubey and Bhupendra Singh Jadawat.

 

Set in the Mumbai suburbs of Thane, ‘Dabba Cartel’ is a heady concoction of thrill, drama, and a lot of suspense, exploring the rise of unexpected mafias and tangled investigations. The fate of these middle-class families hangs in the balance — will they escape the world of crime or plunge deeper into its dangerous grip?
