We reacquainted you with 9 Of Your Favourite Detectives. Here's 9 more swashbuckling characters that no crime can defeat.
Inspector Jacques Clouseau
The hopeless French detective, with an adorable accent, of The Pink Panther series was brought to life by the imitable Peter Sellers... 'There is a time to laugh and a time not to laugh, and this is not one of them'.
ACP Pradyuman
Shivaji Satam's portayal of the clever head of the CID team was memorable. And his: 'Kuch toh gadbad hai, Daya'. He stood for intuition, fairness, and quiet authority.
Hercule Poirot
Can we ever forget Agatha Christie's creation Monsieur Poirot? Of pointed mustachios, neat suits, lilting Wallonian accent? And the Belgian's precise, systematic manner of solving a crime?
Feluda
Prodosh Chandra Mitter aka Feluda is Bengal’s most-loved detective, created by Satyajit Ray. His admirable cerebral skills take him across India from Sonar Kella to Joi Baba Felunath solving cases.
The Five Find-Outers And Buster
How appealing it was to follow the adventures of Enid Blyton's Fatty & gang, including Buster, and their run-ins with crabby Mr Goon, whose knowledge of sleuthing was as small as Frederick's was large.
Neal Caffrey
The smooth-talking con artist turned FBI advisor, in White Collar, is a mix of charm, brains, mystery. Matt Bomer's Neal isn’t a typical sleuth. His skills: Clever tricks, forgery, deep understanding of how criminals think.
Nancy Drew
Brave Nancy of River Heights -- pretty, smart, full of spunk -- broke many stereotypes. And inspired folks like US Justice Sandra Day O'Coonor and US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton.
Patrick Jane
The clever crime consultant of The Mentalist has a past as a fake psychic. Suave Simon Baker, always full of humour, owns mind tricks and psychological powers that take him far.
Kottayam Pushpanath’s Band
The Malayalam crime fiction pioneer created iconic sleuths, like Marxin, Pushparaj, and Sudheer, who operated against a landscape that blended global thriller aesthetics with Kerala’s cultural context.
