Season 3 of Panchayat has arrived on Amazon Prime Video, restrained and delightful. It brings back the usual suspects — Pradhan ji, Pradhan Pati, Sachiv Ji, Prahlad ji, Vidhayak Ji and others — giving us another peek into the politics of the village Phulora.
How can a story be complete without those who add fuel to the fire? Bhushan shows us how he wants to literally take a hammer to the Panchayat office. The arrival of a new secretary who claims immediately that the local Vidhayak ji (MLA) has orchestrated his appointment, Bhushan incites him to break the lock on the Panchayat office. The lock is a protest against the earlier popular Sachiv (secretary) who has been transferred unfairly. Bhushan does everything he can to undermine everything the Panchayat President wants to achieve all through season 3. There are dead pigeons, a battle over a horse and ambitious women which will make you binge watch the show quite happily.
Even if you haven’t seen the earlier two seasons, you will enjoy the show because of its humanity and money lessons you will learn.
