MUMBAI: The legendary Indian crime-investigation series CID has made a spectacular return with its highly-anticipated second season, and audiences are already hooked. The show, which enjoys a cult status in Indian television history, is receiving rave reviews and has once again captured the imagination of viewers.
Expanding its reach, CID Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix, giving global audiences the chance to dive into its gripping storylines. At the same time, it continues to air on Sony TV and Sony LIV, ensuring fans across all platforms can join the thrilling ride.
First premiering on 21st January 1998 and concluding its initial run on 27th October 2018, CID holds the distinction of being one of India's longest-running scripted television dramas. Over two remarkable decades, the series enthralled viewers with its fast-paced narratives, dramatic twists, and unforgettable characters.
At the helm of the team was the formidable ACP Pradyuman, brilliantly portrayed by Shivaji Satam, whose iconic line “Kuch toh gadbad hai” (Something is amiss) became a national catchphrase. Alongside him were the ever-reliable Inspector Abhijeet and the powerhouse Daya, whose legendary door-breaking moment—"Daya, darwaza tod do!" (Daya, break the door!)—remains etched in the memory of fans across generations.
Season 2 brought a surprising twist when news broke that Shivaji Satam would no longer portray ACP Pradyuman, with actor Parth Samthaan stepping in as the new lead. However, in a dramatic turn of events, it was later revealed that Shivaji would indeed be reprising his role, and Parth's character was not the permanent ACP after all. This reveal delighted longtime fans and reaffirmed the show's commitment to its roots.
In yet another milestone, CID has now made history again by airing Indian television’s very first silent episode. In this groundbreaking instalment, the actors perform without any dialogue, relying solely on gestures and expressions to drive the narrative. The episode presents a formidable challenge for the cast and promises an intriguing viewing experience for audiences.
With its return, CID has once again proven its timeless appeal and innovation in storytelling. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, this new chapter of CID promises edge-of-the-seat entertainment and nostalgic brilliance in equal measure.
