'CID' completes 15 years: Daya, lash gayee kahan?

New Delhi: At the time when 'Saas-Bahu' soaps and reality shows occupy most of the prime time, Sony Entertainment Television's 'C.I.D.' has successfully completed 15 years.

Many shows tried to copy its format, but could not stay on-air for long. Obviously, there is only one ACP Pradyuman. Along with his extremely smart team, which includes Abhijeet, Daya, Fredricks and Dr RP Salunkhe, ACP Pradyuman has been entertaining us from years now.

The team who claims to be like a family off screen is still busy solving murder mysteries. During an interview sometime back, Shivaji Satam better known as ACP Pradyuman said, "We do not put on any air like other celebrities do. We are just like any other middle class family."

Interest of Indian audience in crime related shows is immense. And team C.I.D. has been gladly encashing the same from years.

Neither all the episodes have a great story to tell, nor does the show have best of acting talent. Then what really keeps the audiences glued to the show?

Probably, it is the famous dialogues of ACP Pradyuman which are enough to make you laugh. He has repeated them so many times in 15 years that almost everyone remembers them now. So here are some of his favorite dialogues...

Akhir lash gayee kahan?

(Where is the dead body?)

Daya, goli seene mein lagi hai matlab kisi ne samne se goli chalayi hai.

(Daya, the bullet has hit his chest. That means someone has shot him from front)

Daya: Sir darwaza to lock hai.

ACP: Toh darwaza tod do.

(Daya: Sir the door is locked.

ACP: Then break it.)

Daya, pata lagao, koi na koi suraag toh jaroor milega.

(Daya find out there must be some clue.)

Ab puri zindagi sadte rehna jail mein.

(Now spend the rest of your life in prison.)

Is laash ka muh to ab Salunke hi khulwayega.

(Only Dr Salunke will be able to tell more about the dead body now.)

Kuchh to gadbad hai Daya.

(Daya something is really fishy here.)

Yeh aise nahi batayega, isse bureau le chalo.

(He will not open his mouth like this, take him to the bureau.)

Kanoon ko hath me lena bahot mehnga pdega.

(You will have to pay a heavy price for breaking the law.)

Ab din ginte rehna, fasi ka order ane tak.

(Keep counting your days till you get a death sentence)
