Story

Edit
A newspaper editor, Shrivastav, is wounded when he was about to expose the underworld links of a rich and influential man. He calls over his friend, Inspector Shekhar, to talk to him about the threat he receives from the underworld. Srivastav dies by the time Shekhar arrives. He remembers that he saw a suspicious person by the elevator and borrows a woman's car to chase him. The woman throws a fit (and even throws the car keys in the mud when it is raining outside) and they lose the chase. In the morning, the two return home when they find the keys. Meanwhile, on the crime scene, petty pickpocket Master is found at scene and confesses to seeing the whole murder. Shekhar uncovers some of the gang, and Master identifies the killer Sher Singh, who is put in jail.

Step back in time to the golden age of Hindi cinema, where mysteries simmered and heroes were as charming as they were cunning. Today, we delve into the captivating world of C.I.D. (1956), a film that redefined the crime thriller genre in India.

Imagine a Bombay bustling with secrets. A fiery newspaper editor, Shrivastav, stumbles upon a web of corruption that stretches to the city's opulent elite. Before he can expose the truth, tragedy strikes – Shrivastav is silenced forever.

Enter Inspector Shekhar, our charismatic hero, armed with wit, unwavering determination, and a fedora tilted at just the right angle. C.I.D. is not just a whodunit; it's a masterfully woven tapestry of suspense, romance, and social commentary. The investigation leads Shekhar down a labyrinth of opulent soirées, smoky jazz clubs, and hidden dens, each encounter adding another layer to the ever-thickening plot.

Dev Anand, Bollywood's evergreen charmer, embodies Shekhar with effortless panache. His playful swagger masks a sharp intellect, making him a detective you can't help but root for. The film marks the dazzling debut of Waheeda Rehman, whose enigmatic beauty and poignant performance keep you guessing till the very end. But C.I.D. is more than just captivating performances.

The film boasts stunning visuals, with noir-inspired shadows playing across opulent sets, creating an atmosphere of intrigue and danger. The music, by the legendary O.P. Nayyar, pulsates with energy, perfectly capturing the film's electrifying pace. "C.I.D. is not without its thrills." Twists and turns lurk around every corner, keeping you on the edge of your seat.

The film doesn't shy away from showcasing the dark underbelly of the city, exposing the greed and corruption that fester beneath the surface. So, even after all these years, the truth remains the same: "every city has its secrets, and every good C.I.D. knows how to uncover them."

Special mention must be made here for “Jata Kahan Hai Diwane” song that was removed from the C.I.D film apparently due to word “Fiffy'' in the lyrics; “ fiffy, kuch tere dil mein fiffy - kuch mere dil mein fiffy - zamana hai bura “. Almost 75 years later most of the speculation about “fiffy” is more about the connotation and context and less about the meaning, which remains elusive because no two people agree on what it is. The bottomline is that the world was deprived of a work of art, perhaps by an over sensitive reaction to something harmless.
