The official teaser of the Netflix original Dabba Cartel is unveiled on Friday. The teaser is replete with high-intense drama, secrets and lies. The seemingly innocent looking middle-class women from different walks of life engage in a trade of dabba service (a popular tiffin service in Mumbai).
But the dabbas have something more in store than what meets the eye. The gang, led by Shabana Azmi, run a drug cartel. The women must have their own shares of personal histories to be a part of this unholy nexus.
In glimpses and flashes, the teaser treats viewers to a roller-coaster run where only two things matter – profit and loss. Shabana Azmi sets the guidelines of the trade in clear terms.
Now the question is, how far these women will go for the sake of trade?
Take a look at the teaser here:
