The English language has been used in a unique, desi way. Out of all these, I want to focus on the written Inside Stories, of Crime Patrol Satark, which tickle the funny bone. There are many imitations, like, Crime Petrol, Crime Alert, Crime Stories, etc, which forced SONY TV to start a new internet channel called SONY, into which are uploaded the current episodes. It is to draw attention to the other Brand building exercises that have been concurrently run, such as, Inside Stories (only written), Inside Stories (video format – which is produced by many independent producers, and, recently one of them has even made his video blog site ‘pay per view’), etc. However, the purpose of this blog is not to highlight the serious aspects of this wonderful serial. The Satark Brand is well produced (very high production values), well acted, with superb dialogues (including for the anchor), with authentic outdoor settings, totally apt to follow the twists and turns of the crime stories that are described. He was one of the best anchors that TV has seen.

Though, of late, it appears to have fallen on bad days, what with the chief anchor, Anup (aka, Anoop, Anupp, other variants), who used to act in a major TV serial Balika Badhu in the days of yore, suddenly rediscovering his interest in acting rather than anchoring.

The way this series has been developed as a commercial, TRP grabbing serial is worthy of study. This brand is distinguished by the acting of two inspector characters – Sanjeev Tyagi and Nissar Khan, who have a huge fan following.

Of these, the best episodes are undoubtedly with Satark. In terms of branding, the series has evolved, with sub Brands – CP, CP Dastak, CP Satark, CP Dial 100, and, now, CP Dastak. This client list includes me and Dr Tulsi Jayakumar, at least.Ĭrime Patrol kicked off covering a crime that happened in Mumbai. It has been on air for more than 10 years and has developed a regular, faithful clientele. It is a series written and directed by one Mr Subramaniam Iyer, who goes by the moniker Subbu.

When you are tired of the corporate world, when you are tired of watching Arnab, Rahul and others of their ilk shout out the bad things happening in the country, you can relax and watch Crime Patrol.
