Actor Dayanand Shetty who played Daya quoted that the show would not return after this break saying, "No, I don't think it's coming back. I doubt it's coming back. There can't be a break.

It stated, "Its actors, or at least the core of the cast who have been a part of the series since its inception are so popular they have become household names."[58] Rahul Hegde of Rediff giving the same ratings stated, "The crime detective series is still going strong".[59] The Times of India stated, "CID which has constantly entertained its viewers with unique and challenging cases is also known for its different jokes in the world of internet."[60] Kristina Das of India Today in a retrospective review in 2020, wrote, "The show had a cult following, even the non-viewers had shown interests. Except for logic, the show had everything, literally. The concept of the show was different, a tad bit too different, you may say. But at times, the makers dragged the episodes with unnecessarily lengthy dialogues when there was no content available."[61]

Ratings

Impact and legacy

[edit]
(From L-R) Dayanand Shetty, Ansha Sayed, Janvi Chheda, Shivaji Satam, Vineet Kumar Chaudhary and Aditya Srivastava, the cast of CID.[76]

CID has gained a cult status and following among the audience, owing to its episodes, cast, characters, comedy and story.[77] CID entered in both Guinness World Records and Limca Book of Records, for shooting uncut for 111 minutes for the episode named "The Inheritance", in October 2004.[78][79] Singer Lata Mangeshkar admitted to being a fan of the series.[80]

Abhishek Raghunath of Forbes India noted: "Millions of Indians wait for CID to play out on their TV screens three nights a week on Sony. The characters—ACP Pradyuman, Sr. Inspectors Abhijeet and Daya, forensic expert Dr Salunkhe, and a host of others—have attained cult status. In an age obsessed with sex, the show is entirely devoid of it and there is no melodrama, a staple of successful Indian soaps since 1999."[81] Rhea Candy from Film Companion stated the chemistry of the cast members and it being a family show, the main reason behind CID's success. She added, "Today, the show incites mixed reactions. There is an acknowledgement of the institution it is; of the actors, directors and writers it has nurtured, and the efforts it has poured into churning out consistent entertainment. There are also unabashed memes inspired by CID's peculiarities."[82]
