 "Before Netflix's 'Adolescence', Indian TV show 'CID' made the Guinness World Record for 111-minute single shot episode")
Filmed in a one-take style, Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham’s new crime drama on Netflix called Adolescence is a true masterpiece. You will be surprised to know that each episode was shot is a single continuous take. Here is how the story goes, a 13-year-old boy, Jamie, is accused of stabbing his female classmate to death. Adolescence raises a very crucial question about incel culture, male violence, and the pressures of social media.
But do you know the Indian TV show made the Guinness World Record for 111-minute single shot episode? This was a Diwali special episode back in 2004 starring Kay Kay Menon and Raj Zutshi.
Guinness wrote, “The longest continuous camera shot in a TV show was 111 minutes, lasting the entire episode of C.I.D (Fireworks Productions, India).”
It added, “Filmed by director B.P Singh in Mumbai, India on 8 October 2004 and subsequently broadcast by the Sony Entertainment Television Network (India) on 7 November 2004.”
Anurag Kashyap recently heaped praises on the show and slammed Netflix India in a note on social media.
The filmmaker said, “It makes me frustrated, jealous of shows like Adolescence and envious and hopeless. I hope they learn from the reception of it and realize that all the best things Indian Netflix does is mostly either acquired (Delhi Crime, Black Warrant) or the ones they least believed in (Kohrra, Trial by Fire).”
Ekta Kapoor wrote- “When Superboys of Malegaon and my dear friend Hansal Mehta’s The Buckingham Murders don’t work in theatres, can we blame the real culprits—the audiences?”
She added, “And since it’s no fun blaming people in such abstract terms (can’t bring them down on social media, so no fun), let’s just say that a major part of India is in its evolutionary stage as far as content is concerned! You can say it’s in its adolescence.”
