The Family Man Season 1 Episode

Episode Name About The Episode
 The Family Man Meet Srikant, an everyday guy working for the National Investigation Agency. His job involves keeping our country safe from terrorists, but it also means he must shield his family from the stress and financial struggles that come with his secretive and demanding work.
Sleepers A scooter bomb explodes in Kala Ghoda. Srikant finds out about a mission named Zulfiqar. The people he thinks might be involved in the explosion share details with him about a secret place near Victoria College. He sets up 24/7 surveillance at that spot to keep an eye on it.
Anti-National When Srikant learns that a patient in the hospital is connected to Mission Zulfiqar, he questions the patient's friend, Moosa, to get more information. There's a person named Kareem who used a dropbox, and TASC is keeping an eye on Kareem's dorm room, but Kareem manages to evade them.
Patriots TASC is in a tough spot. They're worried that Kareem and his group might have a tricky scheme. When they reach Kareem's car, they discover that things are different from what they expected.
 Pariah Sameer, an ISI agent, sends a person known as the Kala Ghoda bomber to Kashmir to carry out something called Mission Zulfiqar. Srikant, who works with Sameer, is sent to Kashmir as a sort of punishment. However, when his boss, Kulkarni, reveals that this was all part of a plan, Srikant becomes curious and starts investigating what Mission Zulfiqar is all about.

Season 2

The Family Man 2 went on air on 4 June 2021 with nine episodes. The series begins with LTTE leaders escaping an attack by the Srilankan army and moving into exile in foreign lands. The LTTE soldiers in exile try to assassinate their PM Rupatunga visiting India, as she tries to get custody of Subbu, the LTTE leader's brother, who is in exile in India. Srikanth, who has now quit the secret services, is forced to rejoin the Intelligence to save the Srilankan Prime Minister. Adding to the tension of the plot is the Pakistani terror unit from Season 1, trying to avenge their failed mission by kidnapping Srikanth's daughter. The season ends with Samantha, the LTTE soldier who was to kill the PM, plummeting her plane to death. Srikanth's daughter is rescued from the Pakistani terrorists. 

Season 3 (Predictions)

The second half of 2023 might see The Family Man Season 3 go on air. The second season had a glimpse of a bio war akin to COVID-19 from China. What will be the nature of the attack this time, and how would it pose a threat to the Indian subcontinent? Will Srikanth and his team be able to defend his nation this time from an enemy from beyond the borders waging a biochemical war? That is something we will have to wait and watch.

Behind the Scenes

In the video, Samantha can be seen casually dancing and singing during breaks. She jokingly mentioned that this was her way of preparing for her role in the series. Samantha played the character of Raji, an Eelam Tamil fighter in the show.

Controversy 

While The Family Man had a smooth sail and won hearts instantly, the second season ruffled many feathers. Samantha Akkineni's Hindi and television debut with this show as Raji received a lot of flake. The Tamil Nadu government raised objections to her being cast as an LTTE rebel.

There were also protests from numerous quarters for showcasing the Tamil Liberation movement as terrorists and anti-social elements, discrediting their decades of struggle in Srilanka.

People were also angered by the way Samantha was made to look darker to match the stereotypes of how Tamilians and Srilankans look.
