DID YOU KNOW?

The Family Man TV series is a captivating combination of action, drama, and comedy. With the creative direction of Bollywood directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, Amazon has renewed The Family Man for a second season. The series was given a huge promotional push at the summer 2019 Television Critics Association gathering in America. It's one of few non-English language shows to reach out to worldwide audiences. Not only does the show provide entertainment but it gives the global audience a picture of several key aspects of Indian culture. The Family Man web series cast features National Film Award-winning actors Manoj Bajpayee and Priyamani. Manoj plays the role of Sri who handles a cross-cultural marriage with his wife played by Priyamani. She's from the Tamil region of Southern India. All while Sri's line of work involves a constant and pervasive struggle to fight against terrorism within the Kashmir region. Aside from that, his character is also a representation of life for some middle-class Indians. That life equates to the sacrifice of working longer hours for lesser pay. The web series manages to incorporate this while remaining watchable. Most Indian critics have praised the series. But, did you know that there are some who take issue with the portrayal and humanization of terrorists?

Even though there are lapses when it comes to the portrayal of young Kashmiris as terrorists, it does a better job of addressing the messier sides of terrorism. More importantly, it sheds light on depicting terrorists that come from within Indian borders. The contrast lies in insisting that terror is a dark force that only comes from outside the country. There is still no exact schedule for The Family Man season 2 release date. There are hints that it might get released with the year 2020. For now, fans can watch the popular online series latest season via Amazon Prime Video.
