The clock rewinds to 1998, a time when Indian television witnessed the birth of a legendary crime drama—CID. Sony TV introduced us to ACP Pradyuman and his team, whose gripping investigations captivated audiences and became a part of our daily lives. With its signature mix of suspense, camaraderie, and memorable catchphrases, CID wasn’t just a show; it was an emotion.
It all began on 21 January 1998, when CID aired its first episode. ACP Pradyuman, with his piercing gaze and sharp mind, led a team of brilliant officers. From mysterious murders to intricate conspiracies, the cases were always challenging, and the solutions ingenious. Week after week, fans eagerly tuned in, their eyes glued to the screen as the team unraveled one enigma after another.
The show ran for an incredible 20 years, entertaining millions and leaving an indelible mark on Indian television. But like all great stories, CID’s journey paused on 27 October 2018, leaving a void in the hearts of its fans. Little did anyone know that this was not the end, but merely an intermission.
Fast forward to 2024. After six years of anticipation, CID is making a triumphant return. The new season, premiering on 21 December 2024, promises to blend the charm of its classic episodes with modern crime-solving techniques. Airing every Saturday and Sunday at 10 PM, the show aims to rekindle the magic that made it a household name.
The heartbeat of CID lies in its iconic characters. ACP Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam), the fearless leader with his famous line, “Kuch toh gadbad hai,” remains etched in memory. Senior Inspector Daya (Dayanand Shetty) is known for his strength and the legendary phrase “Daya, darwaza tod do.” Senior Inspector Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava) brought loyalty and tactical genius to every case, while Sub-Inspector Freddy (Dinesh Phadnis) added humor that lightened the tense moments. Together, they weren’t just solving crimes; they were creating history.
As the team reunites, they bring fresh energy to their roles. Shivaji Satam expressed, “CID has always been more than a show—it’s a bond. Returning feels like a homecoming, and I can’t wait for the fans to join us on this new journey.” Dayanand Shetty reflected, “Breaking doors was never just a dialogue; it was a phenomenon. I’m thrilled to bring back Daya’s strength and dedication.”
Even during its hiatus, CID remained alive through memes, GIFs, and social media trends. Phrases like “Daya, darwaza tod do” and “Kuch toh gadbad hai” found their way into everyday conversations, proving the show’s cultural impact. Fans lovingly kept the legacy alive, and now, the show returns to repay that love.
The new season is set to raise the bar with modern forensic techniques to solve tougher cases, new challenges that will test the team’s wit and courage, and unchanged chemistry among the characters, ensuring fans feel right at home.
