Panchayat Season 4 has been disrupted & not in a good way: IE
The wait for the fourth season of the popular web series Panchayat has finally come to an end, but unfortunately, it seems like the show’s creators have taken a wrong turn. In its review of the new season, The Indian Express has panned the show, stating that it “loses the plot as politics, polls take over”.
For those who may not be familiar with Panchayat, it is a heartwarming and humorous series that revolves around the life of Abhishek Tripathi, a young engineer who takes up a job as an engineer in a panchayat (village council) in Phulera, a small village in Uttar Pradesh. The show is known for its relatable characters, witty dialogue, and its portrayal of the daily struggles and triumphs of rural India.
However, it seems like the show’s creators have deviated from the formula that made the previous seasons so enjoyable. In its review, The Indian Express notes that the new season “tries to expand its canvas and escalate the drama”, but unfortunately, this comes at the cost of the narrative becoming tedious.
One of the main issues with the new season is the introduction of politics and polls, which seem to dominate the narrative. While it’s understandable that the show may want to explore these themes, it’s clear that the show’s creators have overdone it. The review notes that the show’s focus on politics and polls has disrupted the world of Phulera, and not in a good way.
Another issue with the new season is the lack of character development. The review notes that the characters that we grew to love in the previous seasons seem to have taken a backseat to the new plotlines. The characters’ motivations and actions seem unclear, and it’s difficult to connect with them on the same level as before.
The review also notes that the show’s dialogue, which was once one of its strongest points, has become less effective. The witty banter and humorous one-liners that made the previous seasons so enjoyable are few and far between in the new season.
It’s clear that the show’s creators have taken a risk by trying to shake things up in the new season. While it’s understandable that they may want to keep the show fresh and exciting, it seems like they have gone too far in this case. The result is a season that feels disjointed and confusing, rather than engaging and entertaining.
Overall, it’s clear that Panchayat Season 4 has been disrupted, and not in a good way. While fans of the show may be disappointed by the change in direction, it’s clear that the show’s creators need to go back to the drawing board and figure out what went wrong.
