Disappointed with this one, really.
First of all the plot was not good, the motive for the girls blackmailing her was quite weak. Abhi sir and Daya sir had quite reduced screen time and almost no scenes together. Sachin was everywhere, although my real problem is why on Earth was he so rude when questioning the flower shop guys in the beginning? 😕 I didn't like that all, it's so unlike what a cop should be like. I'll blame the writers for that though.
The fire scene, as expected, was just a smaller part with no overall impact on the plot. I'm pretty sure they're deliberately doing this to keep the fans in emotional suspense about something happening to the officers. The title, "CID Under Fire", had
nothing to do with the story, just more uncalled hype. Thumbs WAY down, PT team. 👎🏼 And, after all that, the final girl turns out to be dead. Can't they show CID rescuing someone for a change??
There were some positives among this mess though, and to be fair I'll list them too - the psycho guy and his father acted pretty well and the factory location was good. Tasha and Vivek were given slightly more screentime, thankfully. No Freddy tomfoolery, thankfully, and he got more prominence in parts too. The discussions in the lab were meaningful, although Abhi sir came very close to flirting at one point. 🤢 The editing and pacing was fairly good and I think the directing wasn't bad either, it was the plot which was a real fail.
Overall, quite a disappointment especially seeing how they built up so much unwarranted hype over that petty fire scene. Bad move, creative fellas. Hoping for a better episode tomorrow, no excuses.
