Episodes

Production 
Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke went on floors in September 2022 in Meghalaya. The show has been shot across Assam, Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Kerala and Rajasthan. Marketing 
The teaser promo of Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke was released on 3 January 2023. As a part of the promotions, Regina Cassandra met with police officers in Delhi's Connaught Place police station along with ex-cop Kiran Bedi to felicitate officers for their work. 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." 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." 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." 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." A critic from Zoom TV wrote "From a gripping narrative and a captivating cat-and-mouse chase to well-shot action sequences and an effective emotional element, the show has a lot to offer." Gautaman Bhaskaran for 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." Firstpost wondered if the series was based on first female IPS from Assam Sanjukta Parashar serving at NIA as DIG or not, and wrote "During this phase, a bomb blast takes place in Guwahati, which leads to the assassination of the State CM and Kavya realizes that RDX in cement form is used in the blast. The case gets transferred to NIA (National Investigative Agency) under the supervision of Mahira Rizwi "
