In the movie, four con artists lead by Ajay Singh (Akshay Kumar) impersonate CBI agents and carry out phoney raids on powerful politicians and businesses. They manage to pull off a number of heists successfully, but when they decide to target a well-known jeweller who is also under investigation by a real CBI investigator, Wasim Khan (played by Manoj Bajpayee), things start to go awry. Ajay and his team must use all of their abilities to elude the cops and complete their final heist before they are discovered as the investigation intensifies.
The movie was released on the 8th of Febuary 2013. It was well received by the audience. It got a rating of 8/10 on IMDB. The movie grossed a box office collection of 103 crores. The movie can be enjoyed on Jio Cinema.
Anupama Chopra, writing for Hindustan Times, gave it 3.5 stars out of 5 and praised its attention to detail, character development, steady but sure sense of immediacy and urgency, and the intricate cat-and-mouse chase between the conmen and the police. She criticises the needless inclusion of the romantic subplot in an otherwise compelling narrative, as well as the weak finale.
Special 26 was given four out of five stars by Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV and was described as "a cleverly scripted, superbly acted, engrossing and believable heist film that is more than just that."

The leader of the gang of con artists and a master of disguise is Ajay Singh (Akshay Kumar). He is a formidable foe due to his intelligence, cunning, and quick thinking. Ajay is proven to have a moral compass despite his criminal activities and exclusively targets people who have amassed wealth through dishonest means.
Wasim Khan, who is portrayed by Manoj Bajpayee, is a CBI agent tasked with finding the scam artists. Although he is conscientious and dedicated, he also has a short fuse and is prone to yelling. He is at odds with Ajay and his squad because he is determined to apprehend the group and hold them accountable.
Anupam Kher plays P.K. Sharma, a member of Ajay's crew and the brains behind several of their scams. He can play many different parts convincingly because he is a talented actor. Despite being a part of a criminal organisation, P.K. is shown as a kind and charitable individual.
Jimmy Sheirgill's character, Ranveer Singh, is another CBI agent who reports to Wasim. He lacks Wasim's experience, and he frequently becomes the target.
