CID Episode-Rectifier (New)

Hi buddies... I was toying wt ds idea...I know we have lots of cid episode discussion threads and we even criticise bad epis and praise good ones....

Well in this thread u rectify any case u want to, any case u didnt like...

Er u confused? Well let me explain!

Suppose u take d case of Mauth Ka Highway case. U put ureself in the shoes of the creatives/director/cameraman etc and reconstruct the case the way u feel it shud/cud have been done. No its not sugeestion... Nor is it story writing... Just a kind of summary saying what u wud have done to make the story better/more interesting/more lively etc.....

I hope am understood! Its a game buddies... Feel free here :)

Prabha, Visrom- Plz dont silently read! ;)

Do share ure views too!

This is a really good idea drilabh :) But, it's gonna take some work. I'll try to rectify "Manav Bomb" hehe my least favorite episode of recent times...

nice topic!

If I were part of the creative team and my decisions mattered then Cases like Maut Ka Highway, Aatmahatya Ya Khoon and Ek Khoon Do Baar would never be made. They would be rejected right at the script level.

nice topic

Great topic, drilabh

Like Prabha mentioned above, I think in cases like Aatmahatya Ya Khoon and Rahasya Shootout Ka, the story itself was so flawed that even good direction and visual work can't really elevate it much. For example in the Shootout episode, the motives of the bodyguard and reporter for killing the actor guy were so ridiculous that it's not even plausible, and the scenario it takes place in is also not impressive. The script itself was below standards.

I'll take the shootout episode as a small example. In this episode we see that a reporter gets so furious that the actor slapped him in public, that he takes great pains to install a small gun in his camera and enters a dangerous situation to kill the actor for revenge. And a similar reason for the bodyguard to shoot him. It's laughable, people like reporters get used to being roughly behaved with by actors and other people they deal with, it's part of their job risk. The script makes no sense at all. I don't think even a good director can do much to elevate such a baseless story. It is the story itself that needs drastic changes for improvement. At least give them better motives for killing the guy! Even a simple thing like having the bodyguard being bribed by some enemy of the actor to kill him would've improved the story much more.

On the other hand I thought that episodes like Maut Ka Aashirwaad and Manav Bomb had good plots (especially Manav Bomb could've been a potentially great episode), but both were ruined by Salil Singh's poor direction. I'll write about them in a while.

Sorry for my boring essays!

Drilabh, Nice topic. Instead of people saying " boring" or say that the show didnt match their expectations,this is one way to point out reasons why they( or we) didnt like it. I'm sure even creatives would love to know what they really have to improve.
