Panchayat Season 3 bolsters its Rural Charm.

तीसरे सीजन ने दिखाए रूठे आसमान में हिंद के सितारे !

Reminiscing about the previous seasons of 'Panchayat', in this season too, we do not just see the village; we feel it. 'Panchayat' commenced in 2020, with its third season being released in May 2024. Despite this gap, all three seasons are deeply intertwined, forcing us to revisit the preceding seasons. The last season climaxed with the sacrifice of the army son of the village's deputy chief, Prahlad Cha. 


Since the onset of this season, the statue of the martyr and the library installed in the village have repeatedly pestered us about the  martyrdom and the grief that winds up more vigorously against a combative person like Prahlad Cha. Undoubtedly, the entire series demonstrates suffering in tandem with humor and exuberance. Its somber theme surely wouldn't have come naturally to director Deepak Kumar Mishra, who is championed for his explosive situational comedy.


  Panchayat serves as a tale of the human mind's goodwill. This time, too, it's the show of Prahlad Cha, who is roving around with Rs. 50 lakh at his fingertips as a compassionate amount received for his son's heroism, hoping that someone will allocate it fittingly. It recounts the story of a society where gourds and jackfruits are borrowed from each other's houses and where it is everyone's responsibility to take care of Prahlad's food and drink. Every society is agile, and villages are no exception. Panchayat 3 strikes to raise the spotlight on how government funds and initiatives are becoming prevalent to foster the villagers' corruption and greed. The grandmother's altered behavior further illuminates this. A grandiose library hall commemorating the martyr is rooted just in front of the village's Panchayat Bhawan. However, the hustle and bustle of power is observed in the Panchayat Bhawan; it seems that no one ventures up the library stairs. Apart from Prahlad Cha the season also focuses on Vidayak ( MLA ) 's political chicanery , Banrakas ( bhusan ) vehement rebellion, and Abhishek's love angle with Rinki. 

  Let's start with Jitendra Kumar regarding the performances. He has been playing his role very well since the beginning and this time too he has left no stone unturned.Neena Gupta and Raghubir Yadav are outstanding as Pradhanji and Manju Devi, respectively. It's entertaining to see their banter and quarrels. Chandan Roy has also clutched the persona of Vikas very tightly. Prahlad is the kind of character that would make your eyes moist through Faizal Malik's exceptional job of depicting its feelings and behavioral shifts.Seeing Durgesh Kumar in the role of Bhushan Sharma aka Banarakas makes you furious and perturbed .This natural feeling conveys that the actor nailed out as a negative character.  Binod (Ashok Pathak) is always storming over social media with his hilarious and authentic Bihari accent. Kranti Devi (Sunita Rajwar) comes out as an opportunist. The MLA is evil as always, seeing whom you feel like slapping , which again means that actor Pankaj Jha has played his role very well. Actress Sanvika in the role of Rinki falls Slightly weak. Along with them, side roles like Amma ji ( Jagmohan 's mom ) and Damad ji captivates the audience. 


  Managing a cast this size, ensuring that each character gets ample screen time, and presenting a series in a unique yet enjoyable manner that mirrors the old ones is no small feat. But director Deepak Kumar Mishra has done it . He did a great job deciphering Chandan Kumar's script, and he benefited tremendously by Amitabh Singh's cinematography. With some unparalleled twists,  It's entertaining to watch both new and old personalities in it. You cry, laugh, feel angry, and your heartbeat frequently quickens while watching it. The music in the series apparently adds a cherry on top. "Hind ke sitara" [ currently trending on social media] urges to dance, and in contrast, "Aasmaan Rootha" magnifies the sorrowful parts of the story.

  Even though "Panchayat" contains some harsh abusive language and story seems to adopt slow pace , it pops up first when the family demands suggestions for lighthearted, witty, and family-friendly shows.
