‘Crime Patrol 2026’ is released as a return to the series’ case-based crime programming, with Ajay Devgn in a leading role. Reviews from NDTV say the show delivers on core strengths, particularly in how the cases are presented and in Devgn’s performance.
At the same time, NDTV highlights that the new installment does not fully recreate the “old spark.” The outlet describes it as a familiar show, implying that the structure and tone feel comparable to earlier versions, but that the distinctive nostalgic pull and earlier energy are less pronounced. The review focuses on audience expectations shaped by the series’ previous identity and suggests that, while the episodes still function, the overall effect feels muted compared with past installments.
