New Delhi: The wait is finally over for fans of 'Panchayat', as the much-anticipated fourth season dropped on Prime Video on June 24. With its signature blend of humour, heartfelt storytelling, and rural charm, 'Panchayat 4' brings back Jitendra Kumar as Abhishek Tripathi, along with seasoned co-stars Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, and Faisal Malik. Early social media reactions are pouring in, and while the verdict is largely positive, some fans have shared mixed responses to the show's tonal shift.
Panchayat Season 4 Twitter Review
Calling the season “Dragged,” one viewer noted, "Panchayat Season 4 lost its comic charm & leaned too much into politics. While emotional moments were decent, the signature humor was missing. A few standout scenes, but overall it felt dragged and lacked spark. Had potential, but underwhelming."
A more critical viewer pointed out, “Sadly, the weakest season so far."
More About 'Panchayat Season 4'
Created by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar and helmed by Mishra and Akshat Vijaywargiya, the show continues to be produced by The Viral Fever (TVF). This time, the show dives headfirst into the political drama brewing in the village of Phulera, specifically the local elections that pit Manju Devi against her rival Kranti Devi.
Set in the rustic landscape of Uttar Pradesh, the new season takes a more serious turn while retaining its emotional depth and slice-of-life simplicity.
Even with some calling it slower-paced and slightly heavier in tone, 'Panchayat 4' continues to strike a chord with its grounded storytelling, earnest performances and a narrative that reflects the real India.
