The buzz around The Family Man 2 is fast attaining astonishing proportions. The sequel to Amazon Prime Video’s 2019 smash hit, The Family Man, is easily the most awaited by viewers for close to two years now – ever since The Family Man debuted on Amazon Prime. The Family Man 2 has been trending on Twitter every day for the last few days, ever since it became known that Amazon Prime Video has abandoned its studied silence on The Family Man sequel and is now ready to release it finally.
All of the above leads us to believe that The Family Man 2 is on course to becoming Amazon Prime Video’s most successful and most watched Indian show ever. The hype, hoopla and excitement surrounding the show adds to our belief – the hype must be seen to be believed.
And now, with the release of The Family Man 2 trailer, the hype has reached fever pitch. To say that the trailer is riveting and compelling will be an understatement. It shows that The Family Man 2 has all the elements that made Season 1 an unqualified hit – action, thrill, suspense, emotion and humour – the sequel seems to have all of these elements in equal measure. That’s what endeared The Family Man to viewers of every age and gender. And it promises to keep them riveted to the sequel yet again.
Another crucial factor that will help The Family Man 2 achieve the unique distinction of becoming the most watched Indian show on Amazon Prime Video is the lack of great upcoming content on OTT. All other streaming platforms are releasing their tentpole content in the final ten days of May. Netflix’s Army Of The Dead, SonyLIV’s Maharani, Disney Plus Hotstar’s November Story – all will be long released and done and dusted by the time The Family Man 2 arrives on Amazon Prime Video on 4th June. And when it does arrive, there will be no other compelling show or film on any other platform to give even reasonable competition to The Family Man 2 for viewers’ eyeballs.
The IPL – the cricket spectacle that gives every film and show a run for its money – is indefinitely delayed. So even that formidable competitor is out of the picture. Which leaves only The Family Man 2 on the horizon in the Indian content landscape.
The timing of release for The Family Man 2 couldn’t have been better – in fact, it is beautifully perfect. There’s massive talk on social media about the show; about Shrikant Tiwari, the lead character played by Manoj Bajpayee; and about Raji, the negative character portrayed by Samantha Akkineni in The Family Man 2.
All of the above factors are crucial to the success of The Family Man 2. And they all point to one thing – the show certainly seems to be on track to achieve pole position in audience favour – and become Amazon Prime Video’s most watched Indian show ever.
