It stars Shivaji Satam, the noted Film, Television and stage actor. C.I.D. is regarded as the longest running crime investigation TV series in India. In January 1997, SET and Fireworks launched a weekly crime - thriller called CID. The show soon earned cult status. Now, CID is celebrating its 12th year of un-interrupted run and is still going strong, entertaining it’s viewers from an age-group of 8 to 80.

Also interwoven in its fast paced plots are the personal challenges that the C.I.D. team faces with non-stop adventure, tremendous pressure and risk, all in the name of duty. While the stories are plausible, there is an emphasis on dramatic plotting and technical complexities faced by the police. At every stage, the plot throws up intriguing twists and turns keeping the officers on the move as they track criminals, led by the smallest of clues! CID set another record in November 2004, when Mr B.P. Singh entered ‘Guinness Book of World Records’ for canning an entire episode of CID in just one single shot of 111 minutes (One Hour Fifty One Minutes) without a single cut. The success of CID can be gauged by the fact that most production houses tried to clone CID, but couldn’t sustain the show beyond a season. Winner of numerous prestigious awards in tellydom, CID is considered the bible of suspense thrillers. The CID team comprising of ACP Pradyuman, Abhijeet, Daya, Frederick has risen to an iconic status and are equally popular among the young and the old. The mutual chemistry of the cops, the exciting investigation procedures, the mysterious suspects, the unexpected culprits and the overall enthusiastic spirit of the show is what has kept viewers glued to the show for years. In 2006, CID flagged off its spin-off, CID Special Bureau, a daily investigative thriller, which had a successful run of 168 episodes. The cops of the CID Special Bureau also became hugely popular with the audience, especially kids even though the CID cops remain the original icons. Till date, the re-runs of CID Special Bureau continue and they have a huge audience. CID – the longest running show in the history of Indian television has set high standards for all future programmes of this genre to come. It is a laborious effort of years by Fireworks Production, Mr. BP Singh, Mr.Pradeep Uppoor and their team of actors, writers and production. The actors – Shivaji Satham, Aditya Srivastav, Dayanand Shetty, Dinesh Phadnis and others, are the pillars of the show. They don’t just play the parts of the cops’ roles that they essay – they literally breathe them. This is why the cops of CID team seem so closer home and are loved by fans of all generations. Contrary to the image of Indian woman projected in the soap factory nowadays, female cops in CID give the real picture of the new-age woman. A female CID officer is fearless, modern, and straightforward, at par with her male colleagues and every inch the confident woman that you may meet on the road. Projection of crime, its investigation, the criminal mind, the human emotions in CID is very realistic and believable. The same holds true for the stories that keep the audience on tenterhooks week after week and keep the cops on their feet throughout that precious 1-hour of crime investigation. Special care is taken to ensure that the story has a great degree of novelty – to keep the crime as mysterious and as puzzling as possible to baffle the cops and intrigue the audience. In spite of that, it is taken care that even though CID deals with the dark world of crime and criminals, nothing that is insensitive to the human psyche and harmful for young impressionable minds is shown.

[edit] EpisodesSome episode of C.I.D. starts with a member of the team describing the events of a crime, which is followed by the crime being occurred, and the C.I.D being called out to interrogate the case. Occasionally, while the crime is being committed, the team is usually having fun in the bureau; such as playing chess, talking about Cricket, or picking on Inspector Fredericks for his actions. The show assumes that in the city of Mumbai, police does not exist and for any crime the C.I.D. is directly contacted. The C.I.D. team then goes to the crime scene, and starts their search for evidence. Actually the CID is called by the Mumbai Police when a crime is too complex to solve using local police station based resources, or when cross-jurisdictional issues are involved. Additionally the CID team has the best equipped forensic pathology lab, and the latest in computerized equipment, and ballistic tests machines. They also are directly linked to the National Fingerprint database and to Interpol's international crime database. Hence their added value in the series. They always believe in one statement: Every criminal always leaves something behind. They search the setting until they find something, even the smallest thing, such as a strand of hair. The body, if it is a murder case, is taken to the forensic lab, where Dr. Salunkhe and his assistant study the body. Dr. Salunkhe tells interesting thing on how the person may have died. He may have been stabbed by a knife, but he may be killed by poison. The C.I.D. team interrogates all the witnesses. After a lot of hard work, which involves lot of driving, running around and Inspector Daya breaking at least one door in an episode, the C.I.D. team solves the case and catches the criminal. Each episode ends with the C.I.D. members catching the criminal after some brief action with guns and a handful of punches and kicks most delivered by Daya and explaining the details of the crime. The criminal always denies the allegations till one of the C.I.D. member slaps the criminal who then confesses everything. Finally one of the officers (mostly the ACP) tells the criminal what likely punishment they will receive for this crime. Mostly, capital punishment is awarded to men criminals and life imprisonment to women except in a few episodes. Now in the newer episodes, a few women have been awarded capital punishment as well. [edit] Conflict of Dr. Salunkhe and ACP PradyumanDr. Salunkhe and ACP Pradyuman have always had a conflict between them. Dr. Salunkhe was the very first forensic scientist in the program. Dr. Salunkhe and ACP Pradyuman never liked each other. After some years, Dr. Salunkhe resigned. But after many years of absence, Dr. Salunkhe suddenly arrived. The first thing he did after he came back was thrown a party. He threw a party, inviting all the C.I.D. team members, and especially, ACP Pradyuman. The party was for a very special reason: he had grown hair. He kept the party because he wanted to show off to ACP Praduman that he had grown hair, while ACP Pradyuman was still bald. It is also believed that ACP Pradyuman has had a conflict with every female forensic scientist. Not only Dr. Salunkhe regsined, many times it is shown that ACP threatens to fire him from the CID. But mostly in episodes Dr. Salunkhe is transferred to another bureau. [edit] Special cases[edit] The Case of Abhijeet's Memory LossThe case of Abhijeet's memory loss was one of the very first cases. In this case, they showed that Abhijeet lost his memory, due to a car accident. The case turned out to be a crime, not an accident. Abhijeet lost his memory, and even refused to recognize his mother. This case is often referred to in the show. Some criminals captured Abhijeet and locked him in the back side of a car. After that, ACP Pradyuman and Daya took Abhijeet out from the car's back. Abhijeet later joined C.I.D. again. [edit] Behroopiya in CID.

Finally Daya came to the rescue and proved that Abhijeet present there was a fake one, then Daya got a bullet in his chest and was declared dead but later the doctor said that a miracle caused by the C.I.D members blessings had made him alive again. [edit] CID and Salman KhanThe case as usual began with a crime scene of murder and the C.I.D. members when a girl stepped out of the croud much to the unwillingness of her mother. She told Abhijeet that she had seen the person who had commited the murder and said that he was in a bike and knew the bike number.
