After a four-year wait, The Family Man Season 3 has premiered on Amazon Prime Video on November 21, reuniting audiences with Manoj Bajpayee as Srikant Tiwari. The new season follows Srikant juggling his covert missions with the Threat Assessment and Surveillance Cell (TASC) while protecting his family amid dangerous circumstances. Raj & DK, the creators of the series, described the season as pushing Srikant’s professional and personal life to the edge, introducing formidable adversaries Rukma and Meera, portrayed by Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur, respectively.
In addition to Bajpayee, the season features Priyamani as Suchitra Tiwari, Sharib Hashmi as JK Talpade, Ashlesha Thakur as Dhriti Tiwari, Vedant Sinha as Atharv Tiwari, Shreya Dhanwanthary as Zoya, and Gul Panag as Saloni. The new season also brings in a notable cameo by Vijay Sethupathi reprising his character Michael Vedanayagam from Farzi, marking a crossover that adds an exciting layer to the story.
Audience Reactions: Mixed Feelings
The fan response to The Family Man Season 3 has been divided. Some viewers expressed disappointment, calling the series slow and lacking suspense. One X user commented that the season felt like a dragged sequel with minimal storyline and that expectations were not met, suggesting doubts about a potential Season 4. Another viewer criticized the plot for being similar to other action series, noting a lack of the rawness that had distinguished earlier seasons.
However, other fans praised the performances and the continuation of the series’ signature blend of action and family drama. Some highlighted the filming locations in the North-East of India, appreciating the authenticity brought by using local staff, vehicles with regional number plates, and realistic shooting schedules. The addition of Jaideep Ahlawat as Rukma and Vijay Sethupathi’s cameo as his character from 'Farzi' were particularly appreciated, with many noting that these elements enhanced the season’s thrill.
Performance and Storyline
While Manoj Bajpayee’s portrayal of Srikant remains strong, some viewers felt his role as a family man was less compelling this season. Critics also pointed out that the number of characters occasionally made the plot hard to follow, though the storyline itself was described by others as fresh, gripping, and infused with the series’ characteristic smart humor. The background score and cinematography received positive mentions, contributing to the tension in key sequences.
The Family Man Season 3 continues to be a talked-about release, balancing moments of edge-of-the-seat action with family dynamics, while experimenting with crossovers and new characters. Despite mixed reactions from viewers, the season retains the core elements that have made the series popular and leaves room for future developments in the TASC universe.
