The early reactions are pouring in—praising everything from the powerhouse performances, the cameos, the razor-sharp writing, and edge-of-the-seat action to the stunning portrayal of the North-East, and the atmospheric background score. The verdict so far? Season 3 is gripping, grounded, and absolutely worth the wait. So here are 5 reasons why the latest season should definitely be on your watchlist.

Raj & DK’s signature world-building and tone return stronger than ever

Season 3 brings back that unmistakable Raj & DK blend—sharp humour, emotional depth, and grounded storytelling—while expanding the universe in bold, unexpected ways. The world feels fresh yet comfortingly familiar, giving longtime fans big payoffs, letting new viewers jump right in, and reminding everyone why their storytelling hits different.

The stakes are higher than ever

Season 3 throws Srikant into a high-tension North-East mission where every move is a risk—and for the first time, the hunter becomes the hunted. With geopolitical complexity, relentless action, and enemies closing in, viewers are calling this the boldest, most gripping season yet.

Powerful new antagonists turn Srikant’s world upside down

The introduction of Jaideep Ahlawat’s Rukma and Nimrat Kaur’s Meera brings a darker, more chaotic layer to Season 3. Both characters slip seamlessly into TFM’s world—disrupting Srikant’s every move, creating a maze of tension, moral conflict, and unpredictable twists. Their presence raises the stakes like never before, pushing Srikant into some of his toughest situations yet and adding a fresh, compelling dynamic to the storyline.

A stellar ensemble that delivers

From The Family Man, Manoj Bajpayee, to the antagonists, Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur, to the brilliant cast—Sharib Hashmi, Nimrat Kaur, Priyamani, Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Gul Panag—critics are raving about the strength and depth of every performance. The entire cast elevates the writing with emotionally grounded, high-stakes portrayals that feel real, layered, and wholly compelling.

A universe crossover that hits the sweet spot

Season 3 treats fans to a special appearance by a charismatic character from their superhit series, Farzi—a moment that instantly electrifies the narrative. The cameo blends perfectly into the chaos of Srikant’s mission, adding charm, wit, and a hint of the larger Raj & DK world that audiences love.

Written by Raj, DK, and Suman Kumar, featuring dialogues by Sumit Arora, the groundbreaking series is directed by Raj & DK, with Suman Kumar and Tusshar Seyth joining as directors this season.
