Everyone’s childhood favourite show, CID, has returned with its second season, and the premiere episode took fans down memory lane. While it wasn’t perfect, the nostalgia alone might just make you say, “Yeah, I enjoyed it!”
A Nostalgia-Filled Start
The episode kicked off with an intriguing storyline and a face-off between Abhijeet and Daya that had viewers hooked for a while. And let’s not forget 75-year-old Shivaji Satam! Seeing him step back into the role of ACP Pradyuman, as sharp and commanding as ever, was a delight for long-time fans. It was like seeing an old friend after years, still just as familiar.
The Same Old Charm, But the Same Old Flaws
Here’s the thing; nostalgia was the real star of the episode. The script? Too simple and predictable. The case-solving techniques? Hilarious and outdated. It felt like the show was still stuck in the 1990s, despite airing decades later. Fans, who were excited to watch their favourite detectives solve crimes again, were left feeling a bit let down.
Where It Missed the Mark
While the cinematic and production quality has clearly improved, the writing hasn’t kept up. The episode’s editing was choppy, the dialogues felt forced, and the storyline was flat. ACP Pradyuman solved the case in under 10 minutes, leaving the remaining 40 minutes feeling like filler. Viewers couldn’t help but laugh at how absurd some scenes were—definitely not the reaction you’d expect from a crime drama.

The Verdict: A Nostalgia Trip, Not Much Else
The first episode of CID Season 2 didn’t quite age like fine wine. It felt like a blast from the past, but not in the best way. Fans loved the chance to relive childhood memories with their favourite detectives, but they also hoped for a stronger, more evolved show.
Here’s to hoping the upcoming episodes bring more substance and make us root for Team CID all over again!
