MUMBAI: While criminal cases have always been a societal problem, it has always been a fascination for crime writers to include it as a narrative for television audiences. One such long running and popular entity has been Crime Patrol. In today’s day and age, when some shows are pulled off air in no-time due to no-show,Crime Patrol, which is telecast on Sony Entertainment Television (SET), has completed a run of 12 long years.
The show was launched on 9 May, 2003 in the 10:30 pm slot on Friday.
Speaking about the show, Sony chief creative director Ajay Bhalwankar says that being a quality product, Crime Patrol has been a matter of pride from the channel’s programming point. Equating Crime Patrol to the North Star in the constellation, Bhalwankar says, “From a house wife living in Meerut to Shobha De, it reaches across a spectrum of audience. Crime works well on Sony.”
While crime stories are sometimes glorified by adding sensational flavours to the plot, the reality documentary’s writer and director Subramanian Iyer begs to differ. According to Iyer, the viewer decides if the matter on the show is sensitive or not. “The theme of the property is to tell viewers how one can remain safe without sensationalising the story and adhering to the facts,” informs Iyer.
