Panchayat Season 3 is available over OTT platform Amazon Prime Video from 28 May 2024. It’s been less than a week and the series is a hit already. It was no surprise to cinema lovers and the makers didn’t disappoint too. The series is peacefully knit in Humour, Action, Drama, Suspense & Romance. Twitter shows all sort of reactions about Panchayat from being masterpiece to overrated. Let’s take a dive into the Phulera village Panchayat.
Each and every character is sinking so well with the story that you will forget they are acting anymore. From Abhishek Tripathi to Jagmohan, none seems irrelevant. The best part about the characters is that no one is portrayed as a central character. Everyone is the lead actor in a particular scene given to that one character and so little appear as so large. The out come is excellent. There is a new entrant towards the end and hopefully he will play big in next season. In this season, Prahlad chaa will definitely move your soul during first half of season and Bhushan will keep you on the edge with his own political vendettas during second half. The characters of Panchayat are undoubtedly meme materials. These bunch of people are making history here.
The Panchayat story is a simple and casual script but the way of storytelling is brilliant. The excellence in keeping minutest details in screenplay, and giving a wholesome image of what a typical village life is alongside its culture, social life, hardships, brotherhood to the violent local political mis-adventures is commendable and applaudable.The director of the Panchayat series should be proudest of all. There is nothing extra in the series like contemporary web series that depicts crime, horror, adultery, underworld, hooliganism and drama at worst possible to create a sense of cinematic thrill. Panchayat has everything in it but nothing seems ‘not required’.
The portrayal of love is as tickling and beautiful that the viewers would be smiling at it not ashamed. The depiction of fighting sequences are so real and convincing as commoners fight at streets. The political turmoils are there but without bloodbath and ugly languages. The bond between friends is ageless and this looks the best every time the fantastic four of panchayat send a message on What’s app group as ‘Hi’. The humour doesn’t need abusive language or forced wear and tear of storyline. Humour comes with the day to day situations and solutions. The director made sure not to make it an unnecessary comedy show. Panchayat is so different that it is a “genre” now.
Conclusively, Panchayat is the finest cinematic craft in today’s chaotic cinema. It is obvious that we will be waiting for the next instalment of this show with open hearts.
