As you would start, all the key characters are introduced in the first episode itself: Neena Gupta as Manju Devi playing the village Pradhan, Raghuveer Yadav as her husband portraying Pradhan, Chandan as Vikas, the Sahayak, and Faisal Malik as Prahlad, Deputy Pradhan. However, Abhishek is seen breaking down in just a few weeks as he is not able to cope with village life and is driven to depression by the high-handed council members.

His friend Prateek (played by Biswapati Sarkar) advises him to take the CAT exam and pursue an MBA to obtain a better opportunity and get out of these wretched circumstances. He also tells him to hold on in Phullera trying to make him understand that this “real India, rural India” experience would set him apart from the other applicants.

Amazon Prime Panchayat Review

With time, Abhishek starts to get a sight of what lies underneath the everyday village proceedings. As the series moves forward, you get a glimpse of accurate yet humorous quests about spirits that exist in trees to the freestyle male-controlled manner of working, or village disputes over a family preparing slogan, among other things. Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and written by Chandan Kumar, Panchayat is pleasantly easy-going but yet seizes the quintessence of village life quite well.

So, all the binge-watchers, watch Panchayat as it may introduce to you rural India once again that basks in its unconventionality and uniqueness. Watch it for its humor. We bet that you will surely like it. And also let us know what you think about this web series.
