What makes Panchayat a beloved series among viewers?
Panchayat is a Hindi-language comedy-drama that beautifully captures the essence of rural India. Set in the fictional village of Phulera, the series follows the journey of Abhishek Tripathi, an engineering graduate who ends up becoming the secretary (Sachiv) of the village panchayat. What makes the show truly special is its authentic portrayal of village life — something many urban audiences are unfamiliar with.

The show doesn’t rely on over-the-top drama or glamorized characters; instead, it presents real situations, simple emotions, and the beauty of small-town living. Shot in a real panchayat office in Mahodiya village, Madhya Pradesh, the grounded backdrop adds even more authenticity to the narrative.
Written by Chandan Kumar and directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Akshat Vijaywargiya, Panchayat features an ensemble cast that may not be headline-makers in Bollywood, but are immensely talented. Actors like Jitendra Kumar (Sachiv Ji), Raghubir Yadav (Pradhan Ji), Neena Gupta (Manju Devi), Faisal Malik (Prahlad), Chandan Roy (Vikas), Sanvikaa Singh (Rinki), Sunita Rajwar (Kranti Devi), and Durgesh Kumar (Banrakas) have delivered unforgettable performances that make the characters feel alive and relatable.
Thanks to their impeccable acting and the heartfelt storytelling, the series has become a fan favorite. With Season 5 expected to premiere around mid to late 2026, the excitement among fans is already building.
