== Reception ==
Writing for ''[[Rediff.com]]'', [[Deepa Gahlot]] stated "The show is an earnest but mostly dull police procedural that shows in great detail how the cops find clues, chase suspects and protect the country."<ref>{{cite news |last=Gahlot |first=Deepa |author-link=Deepa Gahlot |title=Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke Review: Earnest |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/jaanbaaz-hindustan-ke-review/20230126.htm |access-date=11 June 2023 |work=[[Rediff.com]] |date=January 26, 2023 |language=en}}{{rating|2.5|5}}</ref>

''[[Hindustan Times]]'' praised performance of Regina Cassandra and Mita Vashisht and wrote "Among the cast, Regina and Mita impress, even as the former stumbles in her dialogue delivery in certain scenes. But in the action sequences, Regina channels Kavya's ability to never back down. Sumeet and Gayathrie aren't as convincing as the main authors of the terror operation."<ref>{{cite news |last=Pandya |first=Sonal |title=Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke review: Predictable but engaging when focused on its lead |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/jaanbaaz-hindustan-ke-review-predictable-but-engaging-when-focused-on-its-lead-101674732805554.html |access-date=12 June 2023 |work=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=26 January 2023 |language=en}}</ref>

Archika Khurana of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the series 3.5 stars out of 5 and stated "The drama’s relentless pace adds to the thrill even as the villain constantly outwits the cops. Each episode is equally engaging, with the ‘Fateh’ song (by ARKO) interspersed to enhance the impact."<ref>{{cite news |last=Khurana |first=Archika |title=Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke Season 1 Review : Intense performances and gripping narrative are the force behind this gritty drama |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/jaanbaaz-hindustan-ke/season-1/seasonreview/97252532.cms |access-date=16 July 2023 |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=January 26, 2023}}{{rating|3.5|5}}</ref>

''[[India Today]]'' gave negative opinion and wrote "Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke just tries to sell old wine in a new bottle. However, the taste is bland. What disappoints us more is that a celebrated filmmaker like Srijit Mukherji has directed the series, and yet, could think of nothing out of the box."<ref>{{cite news |last=Cyril |first=Grace |title=Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke Review: Srijit Mukherji, Regina Cassandra's show will leave viewers fatigued |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/binge-watch/reviews/story/jaanbaaz-hindustan-ke-review-srijit-mukherji-regina-cassandras-show-will-leave-viewers-fatigued-2326962-2023-01-27 |access-date=12 June 2023 |work=[[India Today]] |date=January 27, 2023 |language=en}}{{rating|2|5}}</ref>

Gautaman Bhaskaran for ''[[CNN-News18|News18]]'' wrote "The series swings from the North-east and Rajasthan to Kerala. Of course, it does not take much to guess how Jaanbaaz will end. However, Cassandra is interesting as a police officer who is posted on deputation to the NIA at Guwahati."<ref>{{cite news |last=Bhaskaran |first=Gautaman |title=Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke Review: Srijit Mukherji Gets on to the Bandwagon of Terrorists and Cops Chasing Each Other |url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/jaanbaaz-hindustan-ke-review-srijit-mukherji-tries-to-sell-old-wine-in-a-new-bottle-6922849.html |access-date=16 July 2023 |work=[[CNN-News18|News18]] |date=26 January 2023 |language=en}}{{rating|3|5}}</ref>
