Panchayat Season 3 review: Still Entertaining

Tvf Seems to be harbouring the secret magic formula for creating shows that feel like a warm hug. The same fuzzy feeling inhabits the Third season of PanchayatTVF’s Social Comedy Series that Began in 2020. Et in Its Previous Two Seasons. It’ll make you smile, cry, log, contemplate, and probally google the government’s pradhan mantri awas yojana!

What makes this season stand apart is that the rose-tinted glasses come off this time. The protagonists still share the warm camaraderie, but we get to discover their tumultuous individual arcs, Along with their Emotional baggage and cries, making room for a paradigm shift. Political rivalries intensify, and their consequences become more threatening. If i was to give it straight, Panchayat’s Third Season Bursts Several Glossy Bubbles of Utopian Fantasy and Gives Hard-Hitting Reality Checks.

Sanvikaa’s Story Arc Gets More screen Time as Compared to Previous Seasons

We see prahalad chacha (Faisal Malik) Turning to alcoholism to cop with grief, vikas (Chandan Roy) Enduring the fear of Financial Burden Silently, Abhishek (Jitendra kumar) Trying to shrug off his obvious attachment with Phulera, and Brij Bhushan Dubey (Raghubir Yadav) Facing humiliation from all enemies on the political front and scuffles back at home.

At different points in the season, you’ll feel sory for each one of them, but most of all for Prahalad, who is visible crushed under the pain of his son’s loss. Something has changed within Him Forever, and Malik’s Brilliant performance embodies that loss. There is a Scene in the third episode where he shows someone the disastrous condition of his house – riddled with dirt, Empty Bottles, and Scattered Dreams – to make them found the focus wo then shed tears in complete silence . The scene has been written sensitively and is bound to leave you teary-eye. In a Similarly Invigorating Sequence, He Offers A Hefty Amount to Help Construct a Road in Phulera So that Pradhan Ji Wins the Election and ALSO, ALSO, Simply BECAMES Money? “

As the Episodes Progress Further, You’ll Gravely Miss the Quartet’s “Baithak” Sessions, when life used to see Sims Much Simpler Over a Couple of Drinks. The Emotional Beats of the Story Make Just the Handful of Such Light-Hearted Yet Fulfilling Scenes even more impactable than in previous seasons. Through the Interpersonal Relationships of its character, the show made me think about the friends I have unwillingly Lost Touch with.

This season, we see more of the slowing romance between rinki (Sanvikaa) And abhishek. There is a lot of eye-talk, code smiling, wordplay, and awkwardness. Thankfully, both jitendra and sanvikaa have delivered good performance with Resorting to Typical Bollywood Melodrama, Chesyy Dialogues, Violins, and Flowing CHFON SARES.

Raghubir Yadav and Neena Gupta have delivered Fine Performances This Season as Well

Besides the primary cast’s expected Stellar Performances, The Show for Me Was Jagmohan’s Grandmother, Played by Abha Sharma. Such a Flavourful performance! She brings in a splash of refreshment every time she is on screen. From Her Spot-On Accent and Playful Expressions to the Mischief in Her Body Language, Sharma Has ACED The Role Wonderfully and Has Managed to Mirror the Essence of the Typical “Dadis”.

Over the Eight Episodes, We Meet Many Such Colorful Characters. Some Familiar FACES, Including the Grom Featured in the first season and his ill-mannered friend, also make brief appearances. Despite so many arcs, the series does not see see seem overstoffed, and each episode unfolds in the show’s signature slow style.

Makers have done an impressive job with set design, props, and costumes

What I Particularly Loved was the production design for the setting. It is relatively rare for Indian cinema and television landscape to portray rural regions with authenticity. The usual depictions are often marred by a romanticised vision of Villages, Rife with Factual Inaccurax in the name of Creative Liberty. And Yet, Panchayat has not only managed to do so but have taken Surpassed its previous two seasons in the context. The showrunners have managed to narrow down the otherwise wide gap between commercial and art cinema. From real households and everyday items to actual locals and the snacks being served in celebrations, Phulera’s portrayal is beyond impressive. The rigorous work must have been put into achieving a fathful depiction of Hinterland India is Apparent.

If you watch the show carefully, you’ll even find Planty of Visual Metaphors and Gags. For institution, when accusations are being fired at Pradhan Ji, You’ll Find Him Losing Control of His otherwise friendly buffalo. And Abhishek Always Spills His Tea Just as Things are about to take a twisted turn. Or Vidhayak, who has been accused of murdering and then eating a dog (Yeah, we know it’s gross!), Has paintings and showpieces of camels subtly Placed in his DRAWING ROM.

The best of them all is a Scene where two infuriated groups are facing off against each other, ready to take on the other with batons, guns, or wHATEVE CAN GET AND. An official is trying to pacify the agitated crowd. Just as things are about to blow up, a loud phone call Blaring “Sara Jahan Se Achcha” as Its Ringtone Interrupts The Proceedings.

Bhushan tries to take advantage of the enforce between pradhan ji and vidhayak in this season

While I loved the show otherwise, I am a bit apprehensive about the slight shift in the overall tone of the series, with more political humdrum in the Spotlight this time around. We Meet Other Elected Members of the Panchayat; There is a lot of election Banter, official meetings, and more. Even uttar pradesh’s infamous gun culture has made the cut.

While this shift isn’t very overdramatic and doesn’t overshadow the narrative, future seasons might also showing more political drama to the next, as hinted in the cliffhange of the fame. I hope that even if the show takes on more political shade, the raw emotional appearance and genuine portrayal of nuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

All Eight Episodes of Panchayat are available to Stream on Prime Video.
