Great news for fans of the web series ‘Panchayat’! Season 4 is returning! The teaser released today confirms that this season's central theme will revolve around the elections in Phulera village.
Panchayat Season 4: The popular web series ‘Panchayat’ is set to return to captivate audiences with its fourth season. Streaming on Prime Video, the new season is slated for release on July 2nd. The recently released teaser has further piqued viewers' anticipation. This time, the true colors of democracy in Phulera village will be on display, as the narrative centers on the Panchayat elections.
The teaser begins with a powerful voiceover stating, "India is the world's largest democracy, and a small part of this democracy is our Phulera village." This dialogue clearly indicates that the storyline will incorporate political drama, humor, and the echoes of village politics.
A Direct Confrontation Between Bhushan and Pradhan Ji
The most significant aspect of the teaser is the introduction of Bhushan, aka Banrakas, as a challenger to Pradhan Ji. The character, whose comedic and satirical portrayal was widely appreciated in previous seasons, now emerges as a serious contender. A dialogue from Bhushan's wife, Rinki's mother, hinting at their involvement in the elections, suggests that personal relationships will also be tested in this electoral battle.
Political maneuvering between Pradhan Ji (Raghubir Yadav) and Bhushan (Durgesh Kumar), the opinions of the villagers, and the wisdom of the Secretary will collectively create a captivating electoral atmosphere.
The Return of the Familiar Cast in the Teaser
The teaser offers viewers a glimpse of the show's entire cast. Secretary Ji (Jitendra Kumar), Prahlad Chacha, Binod, Rinki, Rinki's mother (who is actually the Pradhan), Bhushan and his wife, along with new characters like the local MLA and Swanand Kirkire, are all featured. This time, village politics isn't limited to the Pradhan's position; familial relationships and the ambition for power will also steer the narrative in new directions.
What to Expect from Season 4?
The first three seasons of ‘Panchayat’ beautifully presented the simplicity of rural India and the realities of life there. The show has become an example of blending humor with social messages. The addition of an election backdrop in the fourth season will not only intensify the storyline but also allow for a deeper depiction of political satire and village mentalities.
This season is also written by Chandan Kumar and directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra. Akshat Vijayvargiya is the co-director. The show is produced by ‘The Viral Fever’ (TVF), a name synonymous with trust in the realm of Indian digital content.
