The 2004 Revamp

I was upset with the change, heartbroken when Asha left. After her exit the first entry was Anjalika and the way this character started (no issues with the actress) she gave me no reason to like her. She was rude and negative. She would always want to believe that the CID was on the wrong end, creating more problems for them. Then Daksh entered (again no issues with the actor) and for some reason I never liked him. They suddenly started giving him more importance than Daya-Abhi. Even in the opening credits he just took over. His clips replaced Daya Sir's clips. That added to my dislike. The character was just very badly developed. If a new person comes and starts behaving badly with anyone in the TRIO how do expect us to accepted him instantly. At that time we only needed a Female Officer so I never understood why he came to CID (Sudhakar was still there, he left a few months after Daksh's entry).

Another thing is that ACP, Daya-Abhi, Freddie-Sudhakar and Asha is my all time favorite team. I could never fully accept any replacement for Asha and Sudhakar ever since they left. After a very long time I have been able to accept Tasha and Vivek as part of the team.

One thing to remember is that during 2004 new characters came because old people left, Dr Wagle left so Anjalika came in, Asha left so Aditi came in, after Sudhakar left Dakhsh was needed. However that is not the case this time. These new people have just been stuffed when there was no place for them. They have become space fillers that's all. The most absurd entry is Dr Sonali Barwe, why has she come in a Forensic lab which already has two people. As it is Freddie-Vivek-Tasha never got their due, now adding to that you have two more officer who have only managed to keep Daya Sir and Abhi Sir apart. Last 3 cases I have hardly seen them together. I have sat through some of the most absurd cases without complaining just becuse these two were there together. They just lighten up the scene. I was not prepared for these new people and I wish they leave soon for good.

I don't see the point of adding new people in the team when what they needed was a good script and reconstruction of cases. It's not like Daya is not able to do any stunts now. He is as energetic and versatile as he was in 2004, he still runs and pounces on the criminals like a wild cat and amazingly he still manages to keep me at the edge every time he is out to nail a criminal. Abhi-Daya banters are something I miss too and I am not happy how the duo is separated with the addition of a bunch of newbies. The team was doing just fine as far as tracking criminals are concerned, they didn't even need any sort of replacements.
