The Hindu  

In the thick of things and trying to avert an imminent threat, a group of National Investigation Agency officers ruminate on why politicians can’t look at an issue without being driven by the politics of it all.

The Family Man 2 Cast: Manoj Bajpayee, Samantha Akkineni, Priyamani Direction: Raj and DK Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video A follow-up to a worthwhile series is usually tricky and weighed down by expectations. At one point, when Srikant and buddy officer Talpade struggle with Tamil on arriving in Chennai, one of them says something like ‘just because you speak Hindi, don’t assume the entire world does so too’. A bulk of the new season’s conflict happens in Chennai, where a group of Sri Lankan Tamil liberation ideologues work covertly.
