I was thinking of opening ds thread for a long tym....
u c none of my family members and other relatives dont watch cid. if they do they pass comments like ''it is too puerile, stupid, melodramatic, trashy'' etc..... they ridicule my love for it and call it my ''nesha''( ie obsession in bengali).
well as i had said b4, i strtd watching regularly only last yr, so i basically wanted to catch up wt epis i missed. my parents and many others feel its stupid...
among my friends only two or three like cid....
And then- d wierd thng s dat smtyms parents watch it wt me- y? jst for d sake of it. do they find it good? well drama overrrated....
well did u / do u hv similar experiences?? why do u think many ppl dont like it? i mean wat appeals us abt cid?
well am an emotional person. i like cid becuz i hv becum emotionally attachd, very quickly...
WELL please share ure opinions and experiences, so that i know am nt alone!!
Drilabh, we belong to the same family! We are twins. Detto is the case in my life too. My brother and cousins tease me like hell. They compare it with shows like CSI and BONES and say CID is too melodramatic and stupid.
I have not watched CSI, but I have seen BONES which is worse than a rotten egg. My brother always teases me saying that how could i ever watch a programme where they have scanned apples using a normal computer scanner ( yeah that was really stupid).
The main reason why people don't like it is because of the common stereotyped notion - " FIRANGI SHOWS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THEIR INDIAN COUNTERPART". Even though how vulgar or ugly the former may be, people never accept indian shows based on a similar concept. The same was the case with Indian idol. Anu malik happened to be compared with Simons of the American idol for his outright behavior.
Another fact was CID serial was not up to the mark in the years 2006.2007 and 2008. It started getting a makeover only in the year 2009, with new format such as each month having a unique type of cases
Anyways CID has turned out to be a part and parcel of my life. I will always cherish it.
