Watch: In conversation with team ‘Dabba Cartel’

In Netflix’s new crime comedy series Dabba Cartel, produced by Farhan Akhtar and co-created by Shibani Akhtar, a gang of women eking out their lives in Thane cook up a storm: running a clandestine drug operation under the guise of a food-delivery business.

Veteran actor Shabana Azmi plays the formidable captain of the ship, a middle-class Griselda of few words, wielding silence like a blade. The series has been directed by Hitesh Bhatia (Sharmaji Namkeen) and began streaming on Netflix on February 28.

The Hindu spoke to Farhan, Shibani, Bhatia and Netflix India boss Monika Shergill on the multiple levels of Dabba Cartel. Farhan also dropped an update on his long-mooted directorial Jee Le Zaraa, a road movie with Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Katrina Kaif.
