Manoj Bajpayee’s The Family Man season 3 recently premiered on Prime Video. The gripping spy thriller series emerged as one of the most awaited series of the year. All the episodes of season 3 dropped on the premiere day, but fans are still craving more. While many were satisfied with the latest season, some expressed disappointment over its vague ending and weak plotline. Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur also grabbed eyeballs but failed to create an edge for the thriller series. Read on…
The Family Man 3 brings back Manoj Bajpayee’s character, Srikant Tiwari, as he juggles his high-stakes job as a secret agent and fulfilling his family duties. One of the major highlights of this season was the addition of Jaideep Ahlawat as the new villain along with Nimrat Kaur. It also featured some special cameos that managed to grab the attention of viewers, like Vijay Sethupathi’s screen presence. Created by Raj and DK, the third season of The Family Man is getting a mixed reaction from fans. While some praised its return, others were unhappy with the story, especially the abrupt ending.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), netizens shared their views on The Family Man 3. While some felt it was good, others criticized the loose narrative and also pointed at the loopholes. One user said, “It was good, but could’ve been better.” Another shared, “This time Srikant Tiwari nailed his role as the wanted man but fell a little short as the family man.”
Praising the cameos, one netizen wrote, “Raj & DK’s universe is on fire, the cameos were excellent.” Some fans even compared The Family Man 3 with the first season and hailed the latter. Many feel that Manoj Bajpayee’s skills were not utilized properly and had a lot of potential left.
A fan shared, “#TheFamilyMan3 my favorite indian show returns- with great new additions and a story set in the northeast. Not as outspoken about issues as in the past but still subtle. I missed the signature 1 shot sequence. It felt like half a season and that ending...oh! but but but..”
Another lauded its solid performances and intriguing action but called it ‘less exceptational’ than its previous installments. “The Family Man Season 3 is very watchable and delivers much of what fans of the series expect ..solid performances, gripping action, and family drama. But it falls slightly short of being exceptional, especially compared with the earlier seasons. If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll likely enjoy this chapter. If you’re coming fresh, you’ll probably still have a good time,” shared another.
