Family Man 3 was supposed to be a gripping geopolitical thriller — but instead, it has detonated a full-blown political war online. While critics praise its performances and emotional depth, a growing section of right-wing supporters has slammed the series for allegedly pushing an “anti-national narrative.” From portraying India’s security agencies as incompetent to crafting a prime minister who seems indecisive, the show has become the latest battleground in India’s culture wars — and the debate is only getting hotter.
💥 1. “Anti-National Agenda?” — The Accusation Fueling the Outrage
Right-wing groups and supporters argue that Family Man 3 crosses the line from fiction to political messaging. Their central claim? The show allegedly undermines India’s security establishment while glorifying foreign adversaries. To them, this isn’t just drama — it’s deliberate narrative engineering.
💥 2. The NIA Portrayed as Weak, Clueless & Constantly Outplayed
A major criticism centers on how the series depicts the National Investigation Agency (NIA):
ineffective
confused
internally corrupt
constantly outsmarted
Meanwhile, a drug peddler with Myanmar insurgent links is shown as a strategic mastermind.
To angry viewers, this imbalance feels like an intentional slight against indian intelligence.
💥 3. “Black Sheep Everywhere?” — The Internal Sabotage Angle Sparks Fury
The show highlights multiple compromised individuals within the NIA, portraying internal betrayal as a recurring theme.
Right-wing voices argue that this narrative:
paints India’s agencies as fragile
exaggerates internal corruption
boosts foreign adversaries’ image
To critics, it looks like soft propaganda disguised as edgy storytelling.
💥 4. China, pakistan & Myanmar: Shown as Smarter Than India?
Another flashpoint is the portrayal of foreign forces. Viewers claim the show suggests:
China’s espionage is surgical
Pakistan’s ISI is hyper-competent
Myanmar’s deep state has a global reach
India is perpetually behind
For enraged critics, this feels like an insult, not a plot device.
💥 5. PM Basu Outrage: Fictional Leader, Real Controversy
The fictional prime minister Basu — along with a Defense Advisor, External Affairs Minister, and senior military official — has triggered intense debate.
They are depicted as:
indecisive
argumentative
lacking coordination
politically insecure
For many viewers, this reads like a thinly veiled commentary on India’s leadership, sparking accusations of disrespect and intentional negativity.
💥 6. “Who Wrote This Script?”: Online Reactions Turn Explosive
Social media is flooded with reactions like:
“This series seems to be made with an anti-national motive or is blindly following a script written by someone with such intentions.”

💥 7. The Political Impact: Could Fiction Shape Real Opinions?
Some critics argue the show could subtly influence audiences by:
making India’s leadership look ineffective
painting national institutions as dysfunctional
over-amplifying foreign threats
undercutting national confidence
Whether intentional or accidental, they argue the narrative could sway public perception — creating the illusion of a weak, fragmented India.
🔥 Bottom Line: Family Man 3 Is No Longer Just a Show — It’s a Flashpoint
What was meant to be entertainment has now erupted into a heated political controversy. For supporters, the show is bold, gritty storytelling. For right-wing critics, it is propaganda wearing a cinematic mask. Either way, Family Man 3 has done the impossible — it has turned a spy thriller into the most divisive cultural talking point of the month. And this storm is nowhere near settling.
