CID, the iconic Indian crime series that ran from 1998 to 2018, is making a grand comeback, sparking waves of nostalgia among fans. The show revolved around the exploits of three fearless detectives: ACP Pradyuman, Inspector Daya, and Inspector Abhijeet, who tackled baffling mysteries with catchy lines like "Daya, darwaaza tod do" (Daya, break down the door). While its cheesy plotlines and quirky acting charm some, others fret whether its outdated style will mesh with today's darker crime narratives.
Teasers for the new episodes have flooded social media, bringing back familiar catchphrases and ah-ha moments that resonated with viewers, especially kids. Content creator Trisha Shah recalls her childhood, stating the show offered family-friendly entertainment without explicit violence, making it an ideal watch. However, the show's plots were absurdly entertaining, like surviving disastrous scenarios with dazzling resolve as quirky technologies were introduced through quirky dialogues.
With the 90s witnessing a surge in TV channels after broadcasting rights were relaxed, shows like CID inspired a wave of crime dramas across the Indian television landscape, creating a foundation that's still relevant today. Fans like Priya Ravi fondly remember lobbying for a TV at home just to catch the thrilling episodes of CID, demonstrating the show's indelible mark on the culture of entertainment in India.
As the reboot captures the attention of a new generation, there's hope that it will still shine a light on traditional values while keeping the thrilling spirit alive.
