A Series That Once Ruled Hearts
The fourth installment of Panchayat, streaming on Amazon Prime Video, was expected to continue its heartwarming legacy of rural storytelling. But this time, the magic seems to have faded. According to early reviews from The Indian Express and Economic Times, the show has “lost the plot”—both literally and figuratively.
While Neena Gupta and Jitendra Kumar return with their solid screen presence, the script appears stretched, and character development feels stagnant.
Star Cast Holds Strong, but Story Wavers
The cast—featuring Neena Gupta, Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, and others—still brings authenticity to the rural setting. However, reviewers say the emotional impact that once defined the show is now missing.
-
Neena Gupta as Manju Devi is consistent, though underutilized.
-
Jitendra Kumar’s Abhishek struggles with the lack of fresh conflict.
-
The political subplots feel repetitive and less impactful.
Pacing Issues and Predictable Twists
One major critique is the lack of narrative progression. The makers seem to rely too heavily on nostalgic elements from previous seasons rather than introducing new layers. The pacing is slow, and the few twists offered are easy to predict.
Despite this, loyal fans may still appreciate the chemistry among the characters and the occasional emotional beats.
Release Date and Availability
Panchayat Season 4 was released on June 23, 2025, and is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. All episodes of the season were released at once, allowing for full binge-watching.
