Panchayat Season 4 has been Disrupted & not in a Good Way: IE
The Indian Express recently reviewed the fourth season of the popular web series ‘Panchayat’, a show that has garnered a huge following for its light-hearted and relatable portrayal of rural life in India. Unfortunately, the review was not entirely positive, with the critic stating that the show “loses the plot as politics, polls take over” in the latest season.
For those who may not be familiar with the show, ‘Panchayat’ is a heartwarming drama that follows the life of a young engineer, Abhishek Tripathi, who takes up a job as an engineer in a panchayat (village council) in Phulera, a small town in Uttar Pradesh. The show is known for its witty dialogue, lovable characters, and its ability to tackle serious issues like social inequality and corruption with a touch of humor.
However, it seems that the show’s creators have taken a wrong turn in the latest season. According to The Indian Express, the show’s expansion of its canvas and escalation of drama has resulted in a narrative that is no longer engaging. The critic notes that the show’s attempts to incorporate politics and polls into the storyline have disrupted the show’s usual rhythm and charm.
The review states that the show’s creators were keen on expanding the show’s scope and introducing new characters and plotlines, but this change has come at the cost of the show’s original charm. The critic notes that the show’s reliance on drama and politics has made the narrative tedious and lost the show’s focus on its core themes of friendship, love, and community.
The review also criticizes the show’s handling of its characters, stating that the new additions to the cast are not as well-developed as the original characters. The critic notes that the show’s focus on politics and polls has overshadowed the show’s original characters, making it difficult for audiences to connect with them.
It’s worth noting that the review is not entirely negative, with the critic acknowledging that the show’s attempt to tackle serious issues like politics and corruption is admirable. However, the critic argues that the show’s execution of these themes is lacking, and that the show’s usual light-hearted tone is lost in the latest season.
Overall, the review suggests that ‘Panchayat’ Season 4 has lost its way and that the show’s creators need to go back to their roots and focus on what made the show so enjoyable in the first place. The show’s fans will be disappointed to hear this, as they have come to expect a certain level of quality and charm from the series.
As the review concludes, “The world of Phulera…has been disrupted—and not in a good way.” It remains to be seen whether the show’s creators will take the critic’s feedback on board and make changes to the show’s direction.
