Panchayat Season 4 hit Prime Video on June 24, picking up the story in Phulera amid heated village elections and shifting emotions. As Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar) settles into his role, the spotlight turns to the fierce electoral battle between Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) and Kranti Devi (Sunita Rajwar).Fans praised it as bringing “emotional depth and realism”, even as they pointed out the absence of earlier seasons’ signature humour. Others noted that while the performances of Jitendra Kumar and Neena Gupta earned high praise, many felt the storyline occasionally “lost its way”.
The trailer release earlier this month stirred a different wave of excitement. After a fan poll between Team Manju and Team Kranti, the season’s drop date was moved from July 2 to June 24- a change fans cheered, with one tweeting, “Life is again going to be good since Panchayat season 4 is coming on June 24”. The trailer’s glimpse into election frenzy- complete with rallies, slogans and familiar Phulera charm- only heightened anticipation.Season 4 offers new emotional layers, Sachiv Ji clears his CAT exam, marking personal growth, while Pradhan Ji mourns defeat in a particularly poignant arc. The unexpected twist- Kranti Devi’s victory over Manju Devi- left many shocked, with viewers calling it a bold move that adds narrative weight.
Despite criticism around pacing and reduced comedy, many fans still appreciate the show’s authentic charm, rich characterisation and strong rural backdrop. Conversations on Phulera’s evolving dynamics- especially the power struggle and emotional fallout- dominated social media discussions.
Nevertheless, the series’ strengths remained evident. Vikas, Rinki, Prahlad and others continued to impress with their performances- solidifying the heart of Panchayat. Fans on social media acknowledged the strong emotional stakes and character arcs. One viewer commented, “The politics becomes dirtier, the charm gets dimmer,” yet admitted the cast still “delivered authentic portrayals”.As Season 4 divides opinion with some reveling in its emotional depth and others pining for more levity, the overall buzz remains electric. Whether you are team humour or drama, one thing’s clear, the world of Panchayat continues to spark lively debates and keeps the audience hooked. Here’s hoping Season 5 brings the perfect blend that unites all Phulera fans.
