If you have watched the first season you know that was used to establish TASC agent Srikant Tiwari as a smart, accomplished, and as persistently devoted workaholic as he is to his family, the second go-round for The Family Man expands its scope, staging up a battle between Tamil warriors and unscrupulous Sri Lankan army officers before expanding even further, bringing in the Indian government’s geopolitical chess game with Sri Lanka and China for control of Indian Ocean waters, a compromise that triggers the plan to nab Sabbu, and that’s where Sri cuts back into the action. Bajpayee plays the scenes with Sri getting gnawed out by a business minion with fidgety delight and we absolutely love that discomfort. Priyamani’s pairing with Manoj Bajpayee is quite electrical. Sharib Hashmi is exceptional and real. Sharad Kelkar has barely any scenes but makes his presence felt in those short scenes. Seema Biswas and Vipin Sharma look fitting in their roles as the PM and her subordinate. Ketan Sodha’s BG score is exciting and adrenaline throbbing. The cinematography by Cameron Eric Bryson is excellent. Sumeet Kotian keeps the storyline sharp and efficient with his razor-sharp yet clear-cut editing
