Five Women, One Dangerous Drug Trade: Dabba Cartel on Netflix

Netflix is set to release a new crime thriller web series, capitalizing on the growing demand for the genre in the OTT space. Titled Dabba Cartel, the series is directed by Hitesh Bhatia and stars Shabana Azmi, Jyothika, and Shalini Pandey in pivotal roles. The show will begin streaming on February 28.

Set on the outskirts of Mumbai, Dabba Cartel revolves around the city's thriving lunchbox delivery business, where many residents rely on home-cooked meals supplied in traditional dabbas (tiffin boxes). The story takes an unexpected turn when five women exploit this system to smuggle drugs. Armed with unwavering confidence in their intelligence and tactics, they believe they are beyond capture. However, the narrative unfolds as they navigate the consequences of their choices.

With a mix of crime and comedy, the series aims to offer an engaging viewing experience. The audience response to Dabba Cartel remains to be seen as it premieres later this month.
