The legendary crime series CID, which captivated Indian audiences for over two decades, is making a much-anticipated return next month on Sony Entertainment Television. Featuring the iconic trio—Shivaji Satam as ACP Pradyuman, Dayanand Shetty as Daya, and Aditya Srivastava as Abhijeet—the show promises a fresh season filled with gripping cases and emotional twists.
Fans have been ecstatic since the announcement of CID‘s comeback, celebrating the return of their favorite characters and reliving childhood memories. Adding to the excitement, the makers recently released a jaw-dropping promo that has left viewers eagerly awaiting the new episodes.
The promo teases high-stakes drama, shocking viewers with a scene where Inspector Daya appears to be shot by his best friend and fellow officer, Abhijeet. However, the latest teaser flips the narrative with a powerful twist—Daya makes a heroic return in his signature style, breaking down a door. His comeback is marked by a powerful dialogue:
“Dushman bhi mujhe mita nahi paaye, main wapas aagaya, apne liye ladne aur jo bhool gaya hai, usse yaad dilane ki liye (Enemies couldn’t destroy me, I am back to fight for myself and to remind those who have forgotten to fight). Daya is back!”
Dayanand Shetty, who plays the beloved Inspector Daya, shared his excitement about reprising the role. Speaking about the love and admiration the character continues to receive, Shetty remarked, “Some characters are etched in the minds and hearts of the people, and Daya is one of them. The memes, jokes, and references are a testament to Daya’s lasting impact on popular culture. I feel grateful and humbled to be reprising this role for a new season. I promise to bring the same intensity and passion—it’s time to break some more doors and solve some more cases!”
The return of CID also marks a significant moment for fans who grew up watching the series. ACP Pradyuman’s iconic hand gestures, Daya’s door-smashing stunts, and Abhijeet’s sharp intellect have all become cultural touchstones.
With its timeless appeal and thrilling new twists, CID is set to enthrall audiences once again. The new season premieres on December 21 and will air every Saturday and Sunday at 10 PM on Sony Entertainment Television. Brace yourselves for the return of the legendary team and their quest for justice!
