At the heart of this series is a seemingly innocent tiffin delivery business run by a group of women from Mumbai’s Thane suburbs.


But when their service becomes the perfect cover for smuggling illicit pharmaceuticals, their lives spiral into a chaotic mix of power, crime, and survival. Meanwhile, the men in their lives, employees of a pharmaceutical company named Viva Life, find themselves at the center of an investigation into an illegal drug operation. With authorities closing in, the women must decide whether to break free from the underworld or risk everything to survive.

Boasting a stellar ensemble cast, the show features acclaimed actors like Shabana Azmi, Gajraj Rao, Jyotika, Nimisha Sajayan, Shalini Pandey, Anjali Anand, Sai Tamhankar, Jisshu Sengupta, Lillete Dubey, and Bhupendra Singh Jadawat. With its mix of suspense, drama, and unexpected twists, Dabba Cartel is set to redefine the crime thriller genre in Indian streaming.

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, the series marks Excel Entertainment’s debut collaboration with Netflix India. The creators Shibani Akhtar, Vishnu Menon, Gaurav Kapur, and Akanksha Seda bring to life a world where ambition and desperation collide, making for a compelling, high-stakes drama.
