When Raj & DK launched The Family Man in 2019, starring Manoj Bajpayee in the lead role, it came as a breath of fresh air for Indian streaming audiences. The show raised the bar for Indian spy thrillers with its gripping storytelling and standout lead performance. Its second season took things a notch higher, earning even more critical acclaim. With the much-anticipated third installment set to arrive later this year, expectations are sky-high.
