FAMILY MAN SEASON 1
The series is committed to showing Manoj Bajpayee as some sort of a "bechara" who can't catch a break. To his credit, Manoj Bajpayee's performance is impressive as always, but his comic timing came across as weak. The Family Man's version of a family man is someone who can't juggle his work duties and familial duties and we're supposed to find the comedy in that. In comparison, the larger plot of the show is geopolitical involving Kashmir, ISIS terrorists and various bombings in Mumbai that centre around hyper-nationalism. The last 5 episodes follow TASC members as they try to thwart terrorist activities in and around India. A certain "Operation Zulfikar" takes Srikant to Kashmir, where he meets Gul Panag, an old friend and his Commanding Officer. From this point in the series completely ignores the "family angle" only peppering the show with small anecdotes for a change in pace.
Conceptually, The Family Man is uneven and doesn't commit to the world it builds for itself. Instead, it would have been nice to see the series focus on the Srikant as a character, giving him quirks in view of his epithet. He could have used his unique standing as an everyday family man and a government agent in different cases every episode. This would make the show shorter and more engaging.
Having said that, there's a lot to like in family man. Intent, for one. There's a track involving dissenting Muslim students, nationalist propaganda and beef, that is handled with sensitivity. The terrorism and jihad angle in the show doesn't skew towards one side, giving us multiple perspectives. In some parts, the series is able to successfully oscillate between being light/fun and impactful. Two scenes come to mind: When Srikant reaches Kashmir, he is picked up by the Army. He asks them how everything is in the Valley, and he is promptly told that everything is fine and "normal". Meanwhile, a student is picked up at the airport by a local Kashmiri driver in a beat up Alto. When he asks the local, "haalaat kaise hain (how are things)" he is told, "jaise parinde par shajhar rakha hua hai (a like a free-bird is caged)". These companion scenes say a lot more about the series' intent then its larger plot.
My second favourite scene involves Sharib Hashmi, who easily has the best performance as Srikant's associate Talpade in The Family Man. His sections with Manoj Bajpayee are hilarious and demand repeat watches. In one such scene, a weary and exhausted Srikant complains about his inability to manage his work and his family over drinks with his colleague. Talpade suggests he goes to Bangkok to unwind, with that expected naughty expression on his face. "Aur main Suchi ka kya karoonga (what about Suchi)?" Srikant asks earnestly. To which Talpade says, "Main usse bhi wohi suggest karunga, why should boys have all the fun?"
