For over two decades, CID kept our eyes glued to the screen with ACP Pradyuman’s iconic “Daya, darwaza tod do!” and Daya actually, well, breaking doors! The show’s thrilling mysteries, unforgettable catchphrases, and iconic characters made it an irreplaceable part of Indian TV. And now, after a six-year break, CID just might be making its grand comeback!
Sony TV has teased a promo drop for October 26, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. In celebration of this, here are some quirky facts that’ll make you see CID in a whole new light:
1. Five Years In The Making
CID’s pilot episode was shot back in 1992, but it took a full five years before the show finally aired in 1998. Talk about taking its sweet time!
2. The Longest-Running Indian TV Show
With 17 years of nonstop thrills, CID is officially India’s longest-running TV series. Even soaps couldn’t match that!
