**Revival of Iconic Indian Crime Drama CID Brings Back Memories**
The much-loved show CID set to return, stirring nostalgia among fans of the 90s.
In an exciting announcement for fans of nostalgic Indian television, the crime drama CID is making a comeback later this month. Originally aired from 1998 to 2018, the show earned its place as a classic among Indian TV series, largely recognized by its catchy line, "Daya, darwaaza tod do" (Daya, break the door). The series revolved around the trio of formidable characters - ACP Pradyuman, Inspector Daya, and Inspector Abhijeet - who dived into case after case, always emerging victorious against criminals.
Despite its budget-friendly production values, simple plots, and sometimes unconvincing acting, CID captivated millions and carved out a niche in Indian pop culture. Now, as teasers for the upcoming episodes flood social media, fan reactions are mixed. While many anticipate the return of their beloved detectives, others worry that the show's original charm may not align with today's more intense and realistic crime series.
Trisha Shah, a dedicated fan and content creator from Mumbai, expressed her nostalgia regarding CID, reflecting on its significant role in her childhood. "It was one of the few crime shows on television back then, and my parents didn’t mind me watching it due to its family-friendly content,” she stated. The series cleverly avoided graphic violence or inappropriate themes, making it suitable for children while maintaining an engaging narrative.
BP Singh, the producer of the show, humorously termed its entertaining absurdity as "believable nonsense," explaining how these exaggerated scenes made it all the more engaging. For instance, the characters would often simplify complex crime-solving concepts through light-hearted dialogues, ensuring even young viewers could follow along and stay engaged.
During the 1990s, Indian television saw a boom after the country relaxed broadcasting rights, leading to more diverse channels and content. While CID was targeted at children aged six to fourteen, it paved the way for crime-based programming, inspiring shows like Crime Patrol and Savadhan India.
Fans like Priya Ravi reminisced about how CID inspired them to push for a television set in their household. She fondly recalled setting an anticipation for each episode. Although she may not watch the new iteration, she plans to encourage her own kids to experience the show, provided it retains its family-oriented spirit. “It's a great way to introduce children to some realities of life,” she said.
As the iconic trio returns, viewers will wait to see if CID continues to leave its legacy as a cherished, crime-solving adventure for families across India.
