@deepika that cap has made me go ☺️ 😍

@vis yeah I remember that post of yours !!! that was very funny !!! and even the post after that !!! well and yeah the cap you've posted of ACP sir .... It's lovely !!! Excellent pic re !! I agree ACP sir has changed a lot with the time !!! My dad asks why does he behave so unnatural ??? It clearly looks that he's 'acting' !!! I say it's the dye effect dad !!! Till the time he hadn't dye his hair to black he was calm and composed 😛 !!

Anyways now starting to watch Amnesia patient when almost the whole discussion's over 😛 but I'll be able to add something atleast !!!

So, continuing the review of 'Strange clues'. Part 2 was interesting too. It had a flavour of the present day cases - jaydaad and will and things, but somehow what made the case more interesting was the manner in which it was handled.

First of all I have to say this, the ACP of that day was a lot better. I hate to say this, but somehow it is ACP Pradyuman who has made a big, big difference. He was more focussed, shouted less, his dialogues had more punch and less volume, his body language was more relaxed, his expressions were good, he didn't have that constant scowl that he is wearing of late.

I still love ACP, but I wish he changed back to what he was. He has to reduce his shouting...it is upto the creatives to look at ACP Pradyuman's character and see that he changes for the better.

Daya is missing in this episode, but Asha has compensated for him. There was a scene where Asha and Abhijeet exchange a sarcastic glance over a guy's crocodile tears. It was so sweet. They had a lovely chemistry, more like equals and friends and not a typical junior-senior relationship. I wish there was one female officer of her calibre. Kajal can never become what Asha was. Jasveer is probably much younger to Aditya sir and Daya sir for Kajal to have that kind of a relationship with Abhijeet and Daya.

Case wise, nothing extraordinary. It's another khooni story, a murder committed for money by a lady and her false brother. It's the treatment, dialogues and ACP Pradyuman of that day that have made this episode so good. I liked it. I would give it a 4/5.

Most of all I loved ACP in this episode. I wish this ACP came back to us.

Lastly, I loved this cap. A notice board in the restaurant where Abhijeet catches the fraudster.

Finally, saw Strange Clues as well... I had seen it quite recently i suppose..I was able to recall every scene !!!

The episode has one BIG moment.. and I seriously find it awesome... and that is when ACP decides to solve the case in next 24 hours by discarding all the clues that they had recieved during the investigation till then !! A lovely turning point when watched for the first time. A viewer will never expect that to happen after all !!

After that, the investigation slows down a bit.. The story as well is an ordinary one... but thanks to the performances of Abhi-Asha and specially ACP, surely the episode reaches a different level. I so badly miss this ACP and Salunke...and of course miss Asha !!! 😭

Abhi sir has been lovely throughout..His body language and expressions ... everything seemed to be perfect !!!⭐️

Visrom has already said a lot about the episode.. I have nothing much to say. The story overall ends well... and the background music surely makes the episode much better to watch !! Dialogues and direction so realistic !!👏

I love the scene in the lab where ACP and Salunke sort of have an arguement initially..and asks Asha to check..and Salunke's reaction to that along with Asha's and ACP's expressions !! Couldnt have been so perfect ever !!!⭐️

Wished Daya was there..But yes as many of you said... Asha-Abhi pair compensated well...!!! The side actors were too good to be said anything...😊

A normal khooni story actually made with a difference !!!😊

So watched Strange Clues again....I think Visrom Di has pretty much summed it up.

There was no room/scope for error at all. Loved how ACP Sir spearheaded the investigation instead of shouting his head off. He really got in depth of it, and came up with the 'conclusion' that the clues were unnecessary(of course, he was somewhat proven wrong later on). Abhijit Sir played his part wonderfully, as did Asha. I miss her threatening voice that she had at times😭 Wished Daya Sir was there, really missed him

It was really great to see how the team gathers up in a room, and discuss the facts of the case, and what should be the next step and what shouldn't...wish they did that more often nowadays...

The forensics was very interesting and engaging...wish we could hear more dialogues from Dr. Salunkhe like the one on Strange Clues "Body ko chir-phad karne se pehle...." And then that scene where he tells all this info about the body, and the faces everyone makes is priceless! Especially Sudhakar, oh gosh🤣

Well, like the previous times, the endings were creative, and who better to do the honors than Adi Sir himself!😃 His last scene was brilliant....and loved the cinematography throughout the episode...gave it a more surreal feel than the video quality now...and it was very sharp, like it said a thousand things that could be seen in the pic Visrom Di posted above. Wish BP Singh ji comes back as in charge of cinematography And in the credits roll, I saw Christabelle D'Souza's name, wonder what happened to her nowadays?

oh yeah Strange clues !!! Well I don't need to watch it again to remember it !!! I have it clearly in my mind !!! I remember it well because it came after 48 Kms to Mumbai !! One of my favourites !!! Everyone has said lots !!! I'm saying no different 😛

It had all the necessary elements an excellent CID episode can have !!
A perfect leader - ACP Pradyuman !! Calm,composed !! Becomes hard where necessary and again soft if needed !!! Doesn't raise his voice unless needed !!! sees to it that everything runs perfectly and smoothely !!!

Abhi sir :- The ever excellent cop !! I great leader and a supercop + Awsome detective !!! And yeah very handsome too 😛

Asha :- the perfect lady cop !!! No one has managed to impress me to the level she did !!! She's was exceptionally good !!!

Salunkhe-Freddy :- I miss the old days version of both these people !! Both were just so great !!! Salunkhe was the boss of the lab !! Pure forensics happened in the lab !!! Nothing unnecessary happening there !!!

Now coming to what I loved the most !!! It was the treatment of the subject !!! The plot was a khooni story !! Yet they managed to maintaing the thrill,suspense etc. !!! The way they it was written and directed played a big role !!! The reason behind committing crime and all others were very common and extensively used these days but it was the way the director and story writer handled it !!! And that made it a lovely one !!! Like Debo said I too loved the last scene !!! It had all the necessary elements which if now shown would make us give the episode a 5 !!! Wish the behind the screen crew payed that much attention nowadays !!! Anyways thanks Vis for choosing this case for this !!! It's a great start !!

In the last scene of Amnesia Patient, Aditya sir's "main aapko film dikhane le jata hoon" dialogue was nice. & Bhagyashree's instant reaction generates so much fun.. Subtle humor, little mush.. What a mervellous sequence!! & Their laughter in the end denotes these jaan-pe-khelne walein officers are made of flesh & blood like us. & Asha was so quick to remind him of this like a true buddy.. Why don't we get such great chemistry now?? This humour-in-the-last-scene-phenomenon leaves a long lasting impression in the audience's mind.
