The third season of the popular web series Panchayat premiered on Amazon Prime today, May 28. Written by Chandan Kumar and directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, Panchayat follows the journey of a young man from Delhi who becomes a secretary at a Panchayat office in a remote village in Uttar Pradesh. The series features Neena Gupta, Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, Biswapati Sarkar, Chandan Roy, and Faisal Malik.
Public reviews have poured in with enthusiastic praise:
One viewer remarked that Panchayat once again proves its standing as one of the finest examples of Indian web series storytelling. “Every single scene captures the essence of rural India with its heartfelt narrative and compelling characters. As always, Deepak Kumar Mishra brings something new and fresh. Like the first two seasons, you’ll remember every character this time as well. The highlight is Faisal Malik; his dialogues are few but powerful, and whenever he’s on screen, the scene becomes intense. Once again, TVF’s writing wins hearts.”
Another user commended TVF for its exceptional content, stating, “TVF has aced the game of making real content.” The review praised the series for its acting, cast, vibe, depiction of village politics, locations, costumes, and emotions.
A different viewer shared, “Completed 6 episodes of Panchayat, 2 to go. It is fun and light-hearted with emotional scenes in between. One of the best series if you want to view it with your family, and that is the best thing.”
Another added, “When Prahlad said, ‘Aaj khana hamare ghar par rahega, ghar me thodi raunak ho jayegi,’ the simplicity and depth in this dialogue are incredible.”
Other reviews include:
