Manoj Bajpayee rose to stardom with The Family Man webseries helmed by Raj and DK and with The Family Man Season 2, he became the household name. Now Manoj Bajpayee is out to thrill viewers once again with The Family Man Season 3 which is streaming on Amazon Prime. Let us see what thrills, The Family Man 3 has in it.
The Family Man 3 revolves around the exploits of the NIA officer and how he struggles to maintain the secrecy about his work, take care of his family and also save the country from external and internal threats. Indian PM Basu(Seema Biswas) sends senior officer Kulkarni (Dalip Tahil) and Srikanth Tiwari (Manoj Bajpayee) to Nagaland, inorder to resolve the internal issues in the North East states before China succeeds in its nefarious design.
What is China's nefarious design, what role drug smuggler Rukmangad (Jaideep Ahlawat), Meera Estin (Nimrat Kaur) play and how Srikanth Tiwari's family members wife Suchi (Priyamani) and children (Aslesha Thakur, Vedanth Sinha), colleague JK (Sharib Hashmi), Zoya (Shreya Dhanwantari) get affected form rest of the developments.
Manoj Bajpayee once again turns out to be the soul of the webseries. He continued from where he left and came up with natural and realistic expressions. His body langauge and screenpresence captivates all. He impressed with his dialogue delivery. Priyamani slipped into the role of his wife effortlessly.
Aslesha Thakur and Vedant Sinha did well in the roles of their kids. Sharib Hashmi is good in the role of his colleague and he cracks witty jokes to bring smiles on the faces of the viewers.
Ever since the announcement of the season 3 and the presence of Jaideep Ahlawat, everyone got excited to findout the role he plays. He came up with sincere performance but his role missed the strong emotions that are required. Gul Panag and Sundeep Kishan did justice to their roles while Uday and Mahesh made their presence felt.
The Family Man 3 story is penned by Raj and DK and Suman Kumar. The screenplay is provided by Suman Kumar, Raj & DK, Sudhish Kamath, Nikhil Gonsalves. The series comes with 7 episodes and each of duration 40-50 minutes and they are less than the episodes in the first two seasons. Compared to the first two seasons they included more hilarious, entertaining and family elements. The story this time shifts to North East as shown at the end of the 3 season and it continues with the twists and turns.
The show elevates the heroics of the Manoj Bajpayee and his team and how they operate when faced with the variaous internal and external threats. The screenplay is racy and included interesting twists and turns to excite viewers. But while the season 3 had all the elements blended accordingly, the missing emotions turned out to be a huge minus.
While the episodes featuring Manoj Bajpayee dealing with the enemies and the twists involving attracts all , the flashback episodes featuring the antagonist brings down the intensity levels. This slows the pace of the narration and the screenplay turns racy once Manoj Bajpayee's investigation is shown. But for all the highs, the way the season ends turns out to be a huge disappointment. Dialogues are funny, interesting and realistic.
The series is high on technical values. Sumeet Kotaian could have turned his editing scissors more sharper. Cinematography of Jay Charola is good and he showed the locations in a natural and appealing manner. Background music added value to the narration increasing the intensity levels. Production values are grand.
Altogether, The Family Man Season 3 comes up with more twists and turns to attract all. Manoj Bajpayee once again came up with subtle, natural and sincere performance and he is ably supported by the rest of the cast. Raj and DK, included more interesting elements to surprise all and the intruiging scenes feautring new characters excite all. The screenplay is racy and script is quite strong. The season comes to an end in a rather disappointing manner without any lead to the next season of The Family Man. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for The Family Man Season 3.
