Cast of Panchayat.
Some stories make a place in the hearts of the audience with their simplicity and truth, not with their brightness. The web series of Prime Video ‘Panchayat’ is one such rare creation that not only entertains, but also makes the sensations related to the land of rural India with great accuracy. Each season received a great rating on IMDB. The first season achieved a rating of 9 which is not common. Now that the release of season 4 (June 24) is on the head, this show has become a symbol of Indian OTT culture, not just a web series, what is the formula to make the panchayat so special and ignored success? Let’s understand.
Hidden depth in simplicity
The biggest strength of ‘Panchayat’ is his simplicity. This is not a high-octane drama or glamor-filled story. Instead, it shows a small village Phulera’s everyday life in a very cute, sensitive and comic manner. The show does not try to show how difficult or pathetic rural life is, but rather shows that there are sensations, relationships, politics and lots of humanity.
Eligible characters who become families
Secretary G (Jitendra Kumar), Pradhan Ji (Raghubir Yadav), Manju Devi (Nina Gupta), Prahlad Cha (Faisal Malik), Vikas (Chandan Roy), Rinke (Nona) and Vinod, all these characters are no longer part of the story for the audience, but are like their loved ones. Their chemistry, dialogue and emotional depth make this series alive. Every character here has its own story, someone is struggling with loneliness and someone is stuck in power and responsibility and this makes them real.
Different kind of humor
The humor of ‘Panchayat’ is his most beautiful aspect. It does not try to make you laugh loudly, but gives a slow smile with its circumstantial comedy and small dialogues. Whether it is the meaningless acts of ‘Banarakus’ or the pain hidden in Prahlad Cha’s silence, the show takes you on a journey of emotions where you also laugh and drown in deep thinking with moist eyes.
Glimpse of folk life
The ‘Panchayat’ does not make the world the world dramatic or filmy. This shows how the panchayat runs in the village, how basic problems like electricity, water, road are solved. It shows folk politics, social equation and the roles of men and women without speech. This reality makes it special.
National identity in panchayat culture
Panchayat Mim has also become a part of culture. Its dialogue, ‘The biggest disadvantage of working honestly is that …’, or ‘Hum Hai Rinkia’s father’, is now part of common colloquial. The show has also connected those who live in cities away from villages, and have reminded them of their childhood, their people.
Increased level with every season
All three have been excellent in every way last season. While season 3 height the emotional graph, it is clear from the trailer and publicity of season 4 that now the story will go deeper. Season 4 is also waiting because now the audience does not want to see the story, they want to know what happens next in the life of their beloved characters.
Appreciation and awards of awards
‘Panchayat’ is a proof of the Best Web Series title on the forums like Filmfare OTT Awards and IFFI that it is not only in the hearts of the audience but also in the eyes of critics. TVF remakes its success in Tamil and Telugu and presented Thalaiyudia Palayam and Shivrapalli, another evidence that its popularity is beyond the limits of the language.
