CID, India’s longest running crime TV show. A name that is synonymous with investigation, justice and passion on the small screen. The life of this show was ACP Pradyuman. After the end of Pradyuman’s character, a new ACP entered in the 34th episode of season 2. ACP Ayushman. TV actor Parth Samathan is playing this character.
As soon as Ayushmann came in CID, the air of CID changed. His entry was not like any common character. From the first scene, he made him clear that his character is going to run with decisions, not from things. They believe that where the thinking of the rest of the CID ends, their mind starts walking from there.

ACP Ayushman means- only work, work and results
ACP Ayushman takes decisions like a strict boss. Along with criminals, there is no place for sympathy in the heart for their team. His motive is clear- only work, work and result. They follow the case as a project, not a case. They have a glimpse of a summer and professional attitude in everyone’s style, trick, or eye. His entry has brought a new glow in ‘CID’, his kidar has enthusiasm and energy is not asked- absolutely high.

On the other hand, ACP Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam) was the one who followed the rules, but there was an emotion in his character. He considered his team like a family. Before looking at every case like a case, he used to link with humanity and discussed with the team before reaching any result. His relationship with Daya, Abhijeet and Dr. Salaunkhe was very deep. He worked more than ACP as a guide for his team.
Command for team in Ayushman’s trick
Talking about ACP Ayushman’s performance, Parth Samathan has fulfilled his character with full honesty and confidence. He has given a hard and effective mood in body language, strictness and dialogue delivery that matches the style of the crime show of Young Generation. Partha has coined an ACP that neither speaks, nor is there any place of sympathy inside it, but when he speaks, only to give command to the team, and when walking, the orders are also visible in his move. Whenever their scenes are shown, a mysterious curiosity arises in the audience.

Parth has presented himself as a strict officer on the screen. His voice has depth, there is control in expression and every scene has an unituded attitude. Although he has not touched emotional aspects, but the demand for his character, a professional, tied to the rules and the result oriented ACP, Parth is fully fit in it. It is not at all wrong to say that he is a new era ACP, which has given a new tone to the atmosphere of CID.

Has ACP Pradyuman’s character really over?
According to the story of the show, ACP Pradyuman has died. This turn in the show was a big setback for the audience. But according to sources, this is only a twist of the story and nothing else. Given the TRP and fan demand of the show, it is expected that Pradyuman may have a comeback in the upcoming episodes. Perhaps he will return, from a mission and his death should be part of his mission and case.

Partha Samathan’s character is not permanent
While the character of Parth Samathan has brought a new twist and different life in CID, there are things that Partha has been signed for only a few episodes. He is the taperry ACP of CID. His character may be to bring a new track in a particular mission and story and CID is being given a new twist through his character.

Will ACP Ayushmann win the heart of the audience?
There are two types of reactions on social media about the character of ACP Ayushmann. Young audiences liked Parth’s smart and tough look. So there is a shortage of Pradyuman for the old fans. The one who was in the role of emotional touch Pradyuman, Ayushman’s character is definitely visible.

Mercy is something wrong
ACP Ayushman made one thing clear that CID has changed now, this is a new CID. Now the crime and criminals will be decided not by emotion, strategy and rigorous decisions. But the audience still wants the return of the guide, who understood everything from the eyes, who believed in taking the team together like a family. Perhaps this is the reason that ACP Ayushman’s character is for limited time, so that only one echo can be heard when Pradyuman returns- mercy is something wrong.
