Mumbai, April 23 (NationPress) In a groundbreaking decision, the creators of the beloved crime series, CID, have introduced their first-ever silent episode.
Set in a state-of-the-art escape room known as The Silent Den, what begins as an entertaining birthday party quickly takes a dark twist. The CID team must decipher the truth hidden beneath layers of deception and ulterior motives, relying solely on gestures, eye movements, surveillance footage, and forensic clues.
Regarding the episode, actor Dayanand Shetty, who plays Senior Inspector Daya, expressed, “Throughout my years on CID, we've faced numerous cases and tackled some of the most intricate crimes — yet this episode is truly distinct from anything we've previously created. Filming a silent installment was both a challenge and a rewarding experience. We had to depend exclusively on our expressions, body language, and the unspoken chemistry shared among us both on and off the screen. No dialogue, just instinct — just pure emotion. That’s what renders this episode so impactful. As an actor, it pushed me beyond my comfort zone, and as a long-time participant in CID's journey, I can assure you that this episode bears an emotional depth that will resonate with our loyal audience. It transcends merely solving a murder — it unveils something much more profound… something personal.”
Additionally, Aditya Srivastava, known as Senior Inspector Abhijeet, shared, “As an actor, I've always maintained that the essence of storytelling is in evoking emotion without the use of words. This Sunday’s silent episode of CID truly tests that belief to its fullest extent. It presents a fresh experience for both us as actors and for the viewers. Yet, it’s this very challenge that renders the episode extraordinary. We are immensely thankful to our audience who have supported CID throughout these years. Their love and encouragement inspire us to continuously explore innovative storytelling methods. I hope this episode resonates with them, not only as a thriller but as something that lingers even after.”
The silent episode of CID will be broadcast on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
