Family Man S3 Review | Suchin Mehrotra | THR India

Suchin Mehrotra reviews the highly anticipated return of Raj and DK's The Family Man Season 3, starring Manoj Bajpayee as the beloved Srikant Tiwari. This season takes the action to Nagaland where Srikant must track down his mentor's killer, a deadly assassin named Rukma played by Jaideep Ahlawat, while uncovering a larger conspiracy involving political destabilization ahead of a peace summit. The show expands its scope significantly, introducing new antagonists including a London-based billionaire puppet-master played by Jugal Hansraj and his mysterious fixer played by Nimrat Kaur, while bringing back fan favorites like JK (Sharib Hashmi), Srikant's wife Shuchi (Priyamani), and their children.

Suchin notes that while the season throws numerous subplots and familiar action sequel tropes at viewers - including Srikant going rogue, moles at TASC, and multiple antagonists - it maintains the show's signature winning banter, tension, and thrilling action sequences. He particularly praises the rare quiet moments between the relentless pacing, such as Srikant's touching conversation with his daughter Dhriti and Manoj's devastating performance dealing with his mentor's death. Though the plot can be overwhelming with its various puzzle pieces, and the season ends on an abrupt cliffhanger, Suchin finds it familiar but still immensely fun, with Raj and DK continuing to deliver some of Hindi cinema's best action sequences.
