The teaser for Manoj Bajpayee’s highly anticipated series, Family Man Season 3, is out now, offering audiences an exciting first glimpse into the next chapter of Prime Video’s beloved espionage action-thriller series.

Created by the maverick duo Raj & Dk under their banner D2R Films, the critically acclaimed show stars Bajpayee in the lead as Srikant Tiwari, who juggles between his role as an elite undercover spy who gives it all to fulfill his duties towards his country and his responsibilities of a doting father and husband in a middle-class family.

What To Expect From Family Man Season 3?

Suman Kumar and Tusshar Seyth are set to join Raj & Dk as directors this season. Going by the teaser, the stakes are high as Srikant faces off against formidable new adversaries in Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur, who will join the cast in the third season.

It is astounding what one powerful performance can do to a film, given the correct contextual compulsion. In this well-written but not-so-effectively executed film, Madhavan, in his second grey outing in a row after Shaitaan, plays Saravan, a born loser who dreams of making a scientific breakthrough while trying to wrestle with imminent insolvency and a wife whom he is about to lose.

Saravan has nothing to lose in life. On the other side of the social fence is Arjun, a superstar test cricketer on the skids played by Siddhanth, who seems to rein in his performance at those very moments when he needed to explode on screen.

Less is not more on this occasion. Not when Siddharth’s adversary is played by Madhavan as a no-holds-barred desperado. Watching the likeable but incomplete portrait of ruination and redemption, I wondered what Test would have been had Siddharth played the character a few octaves higher.

Netflix is expanding its reach in India, returning with this Tamil-language film that delves into the world of cricket and everything surrounding the most important match, which, as you might guess, pits India against its eternal rival, Pakistan.

This highly anticipated sports drama marks the directorial debut of S. Sashikanth, a respected producer known for his association with innovative and engaging Tamil films under the Ynot Studios banner. Leading the cast are the prominent actors R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, and Siddharth, with Meera Jasmine making her comeback to Tamil cinema after a decade-long absence.

The film goes beyond cricket, using it as a narrative backdrop for characters who coexist, strive to survive, and live another day. The film delves into themes like energy, motherhood, and family, offering a portrait of the lives of endearing characters, all with cricket as a backdrop.

The Long Road of “Test” to Becoming a...

I love talking about films that have something to say. Regardless of their quality, I always find the process of peeling back the layers of the narrative and getting to the inciting idea that led to the formation of a motion picture. Because, what’s the point of telling a story if it’s not relevant or educational in an engaging way? Even those movies that are usually deemed “plotless” make a point of not pushing the audience to bother themselves with the narrative and allowing them to go with the flow because they understand how overwhelming life is and that people just need a break sometimes. But the majority of the time, storytellers seek audience attention on an emotional level so that we can look past the genre norms, visual effects, cliches, and other cinematic accoutrements and truly understand where they are coming from. And sometimes this very exercise...
