C.I.D. 909

About This Movie

C.I.D. 909 is an interesting blend of action and drama, wrapped around a nuclear project that’s supposed to usher in peace. The plot kicks off with Professor, the scientist, caught in a web of international intrigue, as Wong and Wasco are not just your typical henchmen; they give the film a certain menacing edge. What really stands out is CID Agent Raju—he’s not just a standard hero, but more of an everyman with grit and determination. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that adds to the charm, with moments of intense action contrasted by quieter, more reflective scenes. Practical effects are pretty solid for the period, and it has this gritty atmosphere that feels distinctly Indian while offering a glimpse into the genre's evolution during the '60s.

C.I.D. 909 has had a limited release history, making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors, especially those interested in Indian action cinema from the late 60s. The film's unique premise and the performances of the cast have garnered a niche following, though it hasn't reached mainstream acclaim. Collectors should be aware of its scarcity on physical media, particularly in good condition, which adds to the allure for those who appreciate the genre's early evolution.
