After watching many movies and web series I have stumble upon this web series called Panchayat. I have decided to watch this gem comedy drama as soon as I see the actor names Raghuvir Yadav and Neena Gupta.
At the first glance I thought this may be the story of a hero who does the world of wonder to the village and become yet another finction series with the twist and turns, but to my super surprise this series is the real picturization of exactly how the village is. A simple and yet filled with so much content and message. A must watch for anyone who is liking or wanting to know how the Indian village life is.
Abhishek Tripathi is a treat to watch, the ever-frustrated graduate who does not like his new job, though he is always found angry he gets into situations which brings humor and a likable character which perfectly resembles Today’s youth.
The duo of Pradhan ji and the deputy Pradhan by Raghuvir Yadav and a character called Prahalad are lovely combo. And along with them there is an office assistant Vikas who is doing a much lower job than all of these other characters but yet he is found to be the most happiest character in the whole series. He is always having suggestion and solution for everything, he is happy in doing whatever he is doing, and guys like him are always in demand even in the real life! Such a gem character played so effortlessly by Chandan Roy. Other than these four characters acting by each and every small character played by various artists are so good that you can’t imagine a different characterization or improvisation in any of the scenes. Too Good.
And finally, panchva(fifth) character of Panchayat Neena Gupta, the actual Pradhan of the village Phulera. She has played the role of a wife throughout the series until the final moments of the series where she played the role of a Pradhan who she is during the Republic Day. The scene which made me write the review after a decade. A simple scene but as usual the way the final scene is picturized and Neena Gupta sings Jana gana mana will make you leave teary eyes without anything unusual or dramatic.
And once I am done with watching the series, I realize that I have missed the whole theme music by skipping the Intro Music in order to complete the web series and hence pasting the link of the Theme Music for anyone who might have done similar.
