Jitendra Kumar has opened up about the success of his much-loved show Panchayat. Days after season four of the show premiered on Prime Video, the actor, who plays the role of Sachiv Ji, has now shared that he is overwhelmed with the response the web series has been getting. Kumar admitted that he wasn鈥檛 sure about Panchayat鈥檚 success when the first season was released, but shared that four seasons now prove that the audience is loving it.
鈥淭he very fact that we are here with a fourth season of Panchayat, is a reflection of the incredible love and appreciation we鈥檝e received from audiences across the globe. When the first season premiered, I was genuinely not sure how people would respond to its tone and setting. But the warmth and positivity that followed were beyond anything we imagined. Since then, we鈥檝e simply continued telling this heartfelt village story鈥 and the audience has stood by us, season after season,鈥 Jitendra Kumar said.
鈥淧anchayat鈥檚 success isn鈥檛 just ours to celebrate鈥攊t belongs to every single viewer who found joy, comfort, and connection in its world. . It鈥檚 a collective celebration鈥攏ot just of the franchise, but of the entire team, and the many talented actors who were recognised and appreciated through this show. Truly, it takes a village to bring Panchayat to life,鈥 the actor added.
Panchayat 4 picks up in Phulera as two strong-headed women, Manju Devi and Kranti Devi, go head-to-head in the local elections. What follows is a chaotic campaign led largely by their husbands, Brij Bhushan (Pradhan ji) and Banrakas. With tricks, taunts and an all-out village spectacle, the election dominates the season鈥檚 storyline.
Panchayat 4 received mixed reviews from all. News18 Showsha gave the show a 4-star rating. 鈥淭he biggest letdown this season is the sluggish pacing and narrow focus. The entire narrative revolves around the election battle, with little to no development in the other subplots that once gave Panchayat its layered charm. We鈥檙e left waiting until the second half of the final episode just to find out the election results, by then, the excitement has long worn off,鈥 a part of our review read.
Panchayat 4 is now streaming on Prime Video.
