I simply agree with you. The truth be said law enforcement means you need to follow certain protocol. Agreed that you make friends and build certain rapport with your team mates but crossing the heights of indecency at work is not acceptable. Saakshi is shown as a journalist. Being one and then not coming up with inputs!? Now how do I put it.

I've always had a knack of falling for characters who are strong, decisive and are not afraid to voice their thoughts. I find Aayesha one of them. Hence my love for her. I somehow find the connect with Saakshi missing. Her character can be etched. Humanizing her with a sad story doesn't do anything in building up her pace. I find Mrunal cute and fine but the character she plays is not going down with me. All I can now say is I hope CV's would finally listen and do something about it!

Thanks!

Looks like our views on the matter are exactly the same😊

And as you said, I also relate with strong women characters better. Something is just not clicking in place when it comes to Sakshi, at least for me.

And if it is anyone's fault, it is the writers, not poor Mrunal. She is doing her best.

Hope they bring in more nuances to the character and make her more interesting. As you said, building up the pace...that's key here.

Thanks!

I do love Arjun, he is my favorite character and the main reason why I watch the show.

But the others are being completely ignored- we no longer have Shree-Chottu scenes, Raesha scenes, Lisa-Shree scenes, or even Shree-Chottu-Ayesha scenes for that matter.

What is happening?😭

Looks like we have the same taste in TV shows!!!😊

And agreed, I like Castle more than Beckett.

He is such a sweetie, following an emotionally closed woman who refuses to tell the poor guy that she likes him!

He is charming, sensitive, loving, charismatic...I could go on and on!!!

You love Caskett (what a horrible shipper name😆) and are unsure still about Arakshi? Same here😃

Reg Lisa, I guess Indian TV is not yet equipped to make forensics an essential part of police procedurals.

It requires an immense amount of research. I don't blame the writers, when they have to churn out two episodes a week, it's tough.

American crime shows air one episode a week, and often take lengthy breaks in between.

But here, I think quantity counts more than quality And yeah, CID seems well-equipped on the forensics front, I wonder how?


IKR, Well i am a sucker for crime thrillers...Castle,CSI,Bones,Prison Break,White Collar etc etc I watch almost all of them😳😆
Don't get me started on Castle cause then well i will never stop :P He is amazing
Haha i know right Caskett sounds kinda weird, but then most of the OTP's i like have got weird names so i don't mind :P
Yup, about aarakshi, i am unsure. The reason being ,till now Sakshi, as an individual character has really not managed to impress me . Cvs need to put more substance in her character for me to like her. Being friendly, chirpy and all that is fine, but i feel somethimes she goes overboard it...but being in the ETF, she needs to put her own inputs, and being a crime journalist i am sure she can do better than this. I dunno why, trust me i have tried to click her, but she doesn't seem to click with me, and i cant do anything about it.
Coming to Lisa, i totally agree that till now Indian Television is not well aware, or well equipped with the kind of measures needed to carry out forensic procedural like their American counterparts , but then still i think they can make Lisa more useful than this , other than just appearing for few mins in every alternate episode or so, I am telling this as I really found a spunk and something refreshing in her character but sadly we don't get to see her much
hmmm yeah, you have a point there, telling one hour lengthy stories for two days..while Amirican shows show 10-15 episodes at once or so and then take a break [ which kills overly curious fans like me]
So like you said here quality is suffering because of the quantity, and that's actually sad.
BTW somewhere you said that Arjun does almost everything, well from the very start of the show only I have being disappointed by that fact. I love Arjun, and probably he is one of the only reasons i am still watching this shows. But to make him look like a super cop, they need not make the others look almost inefficient. All of them are members of the ETF for a reason and they should all have some or the other contribution to the cases, other than Arjun doing and finding almost everything.
About CID, i got no idea how, but they seem to be more aware and well equipped and that's probably one of the reason the show is being running for so many years.

@blue
I agree with every word there. However in the past few episodes she has started asking useful questions. In the dowry death episode she pointed out that a red Maruthi 800 is not difficult to track. And in the recent case of the actress' death through her sources she'd help the team to find out motives of different suspects to kill the actress. That was sort of a relief, because Sakshi was merely a prop until a few day back, which was quite irritating and disappointing. Then what is it that bugs me? The inconsistency of the writers of Arjun!

@red
The forensic front in Arjun is even more disappointing. I do not understand why a whole new character, namely Lisa D'Cruz was introduced if she was going to appear in the show once in a blue moon and Arjun doing most of her job. Not just in Lisa's absence, but even in her presence Arjun gets to show his super cop intelligence which is a definite let down. Most of the times Lisa gives the information which is already evident! If the makers are lagging in the area forensic research why did they introduce a forensic expert? In the past it was perfectly alright without a forensic expert, right? And what about her story that they tried to show with Shree? I don't see that going anywhere either.

@green
Many posts were made in Forum 32 and on their official pages on Facebook by many many viewers in one way or the other. That is the biggest disappointment, and very very irritating too. In some episodes we get to see the other members playing a role and in many we do not! Why? Do they even study their own episodes? If the viewers are finding it odd, why do the writers and the makers not find it odd? Why the inconsistency? I know the show is about Arjun, but the appalling fact is that the minor things and some major discoveries that Arjun makes, should also be noticed by Rathore given that they have similar years of experience in the field and he is the chief of ETF! It makes me wonder, how did the ETF function before Arjun? The thought itself is horrifying! Did it go around arresting the wrong people or what???

@bold
I had been an ardent viewer of CID for many years. The forensic front in CID is really good and it actually added a lot of that 'interesting' factor to the episode. Dr. Salunkhe was indeed a very useful and an important character in the show. I am not comparing. I'm just saying that it should be appreciated and is definitely one of the reasons the show is still running. However, I haven't watched CID for quite sometime now, so I do not know its present situation! 😊

I absolutely agree with you.

First of all I still don't understand how is a journalist working with a police force, I mean journalists are definitely trained for THIS.

To be in the police force you need to have proper training, they have to deal with hardcore criminals every damm day, and for me atleast allowing anyone untrained in this job does not make sense.

Coming to her nature, well being chirpy and bubby is fine,.but she really needs to understand the seriousness of her job, which I feel she lacks sometimes. And as you said she isn't being really much productive too.

Coming to Liza, I was actually looking forward to her character, but have been really disappointed. Forensic experts are the one telling the time of death, the cause, giving important clues about the murderer'well I mean to say forensic experts do have a very important role to play while solving any murder cases. But we hardly get to see Liza, and as you said Arjun almost does everything.


@red
Exactly! I know she has chased a few criminals once in a while on the show, but I highly doubt if she was properly trained for that. I mean it is quite dangerous to let a person work on field, if she cannot protect herself. That seemed to surprise me too! But, let's just wait. Maybe, we'll get to see that avatar of Sakshi too?

Agree with you.Every word is spot on.

The character is like an item song in an otherwise superbly made movie.The thinking people will question its existence but there will be those who will go in hordes to watch it.Unfortunately the latter are more in numbers than the former. That is why intelligent serial maker like Gorky go for it notwithstanding opposition from the select few. Whatever essays & long drawn posts fans come up with to defend this character & actor truth is for all to see.The character is shallow & the actor has still some way to go in the acting department.

My POV as is my right. Not a newbie who has dropped everything to come here to create a "war"😆

Blue- Well that's definitely better..and i hope they continue to do so. Cause just making her sit and run with the team , without doing anything much was just annoying.
Red- that has been a MAJOR disappointment for me..exactly why the hell introduce character when you are not really bothered about doing anything with her. Her story with shree, well that's not progressing too. I actually had much expectations from her as in most past shows i have seen, forensics play a very very important role.
Green You said it all girl, and not just now...I have this very complaint from the very first week of the show.. why exactly its Arjun who does every damm thing??? what is he is the one to find out and crack all the clues??? Exactly , Rathore is the ETF chief for heavensake, and almost as experienced as him if not more..but they almost make him look inefficient in front of Arjun, and that's irritating...I get that Arjun is the lead character , fine...but ETF is a team, a team allegedly of very efficient officers , so why there is just one guy doing everything??? Like you said what did actually the team do before Arjun came to the scene.
Black- That's exactly what i was meaning to write, and you said in a lot better way. Dr saluke's is one if the most important character on the show, and he contributes a lot to almost all the cases..the facts , they information found out by him and Tarika are often instrumental in finding the culprits..I wish in this show too they would actually try and work out the usage of forensics sciences in the world of crime much more.

That's the thing, allowing anyone on the field risks their lives and also of others too. One needs to be properly trained to handle such criminals who, like once Arjun said ' wont even blink an eye before shooting you'. And being in ETF some or the other day she will have to come across such people.
Well, for that we can just wait and watch :P
