What The Family Man shows us of groupthink: Phenomenon may not be as one-dimensional as it seems
FirstpostAs much as the story of The Family Man is about Manoj Bajpayee’s character Srikant, it is also about two other significant individuals — young men who have turned to terrorism. *** Amazon Prime’s The Family Man is the story of a government agent trying to foil a major terrorist operation in India, while also attempting to balance his somewhat chaotic family life. Srikant’s strategy works, when a hitherto relentless Moosa suddenly becomes reluctant to go through with the plan and urges Sajid to postpone it, in order to save his mother, who is in the territory of the gas leak now. Despite having the same mission, and working so hard to achieve the end, Moosa is ready to back down for his mother’s sake; Sajid is only thinking of his ‘duty’ to undertake the greater good, and ends up killing Moosa because he becomes a threat to achieving it.
