The third season of Manoj Bajpayee's acclaimed series, "The Family Man," has been released. After a four-year wait, the pair of Srikant Tiwari and JK are once again at war. This time, some new actors have also joined the cast. The scale and episode length of the series have increased, but there are a few things that slightly weaken it. Now, when we're talking about "The Family Man," how can we compromise on any shortcomings? Here's how the third season of the series is…

Story
The makers have a lot to tell in this season. On one hand, there's Srikant's personal life, on the other, the drug trafficking going on in Kohima, Northeast Nagaland, on the other, the story of Jaideep Ahlawat as Rukma, the angle of Nimrat Kaur as Chauth Meera, and on top of that, the national politics. So much is happening simultaneously. The way the story is woven sometimes seems tight and sometimes loose. Initially, it's fun when the family learns about Srikant's work, but later, the same sentiment turns into a melodrama. Where you might be bored, the directors have added in the fun and frolic between Srikant and JK. Overall, the story moves well, but ultimately disappoints. The final episode ends with a feeling of having wasted six hours without getting any answers.

Acting
Manoj Bajpayee is in his familiar style. Whether it's his comedy scenes with JK or serious scenes with the family, even after returning after four years, he never lets Srikant's charm diminish. If Manoj is Munnabhai, Sharib Hashmi, as JK, is his Circuit. Both are always a joy to watch. However, even with such a diverse cast, Jaideep Ahlawat stole the show this season. He keeps switching between them to suit each scene. His dialogue delivery, even his silence when he's not speaking, is truly remarkable. It's fun to see Manoj and Jaideep together in the same series. Jaideep's character will certainly create even more excitement in the upcoming series. The makers brought him in to make the fourth season even stronger. Priyamani is as strong as ever. Nimrat Kaur's character is new. She has done a great job among all. Overall, the acting in the series isn't weak. Everyone is perfect.

Direction
Raj and DK have put a lot of effort into the cinematography. The Northeast is beautifully depicted. Many scenes are also very entertaining. Both have unique shooting styles, but where they fall short is the story. From beginning to end, you're showing so many things at once. You're showing them in great detail, but then you end without any answers, as if you have no responsibility to the audience. With as much excitement as you start watching this series, you end it with a heavy heart. In an attempt to preserve the masala content for the next season, Raj and DK have done the audience a disservice. They should have worked a little more on the story.

Technical Aspects
The technical aspects of this series have never been weak. From the very beginning, every scene has been filmed in a new and unique way. Whether it's the one-take attack scene in the first season, the dark scenes in the second season, or the action scenes in this season. The cinematography is excellent. The background music creates and sustains the atmosphere.

Will you watch it or not?
If you're a longtime fan of 'The Family Man', you've probably already finished watching it. If you still haven't seen it, you should give it a shot. Shrikant Tiwari will never disappoint you.
