After two years of prolonged wait, Amazon Prime Video released season 3 of Panchayat last night. And in no time, the verdict was out. Unsurprisingly, it was largely positive.
For the unversed, Panchayat is a comedy-drama series following engineering graduate Abhishek, who becomes a secretary of a Panchayat Office in a village called Phulera. The show stars Jitendra Kumar in the lead role, along with Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Sanvikaa, and Chandan Roy, among others.
People who’ve binged-watched the series overnight have a lot to say. Here’s how they’re reacting –
The dialogues, The acting, The emotion, everything was just perfect in this scene. This man @malikfeb again stole the Heart. Portraying a man who is completely broken from within, with nothing left in his life, Faisal Malik nailed it again with his character. ❤️#Panchayat pic.twitter.com/qVhSt9OXVC

What a overhyped series!! #PanchayatSeason3 is not to it's mark looses it's charm. It's far too stretched. Though it maintain the Innocence of rular background but plot is too weak for 8 hr episodes. #Panchayat @PrimeVideoIN pic.twitter.com/ZCxsOJ5zsz

Promising : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had the essence of previous two seasons with a new unusual plot❤️. But could have been better with some comic scenes by curbing unnecessary drama and better screenplay.#Panchayat #PanchayatOnPrime #PrimeVideo #AmazonPrime #TVF pic.twitter.com/idtGvvot4n

I loved how they expanded Chandan's backstory dis time & smooth development of Sachiv Ji's love story. It's rare to see such storytelling nowadays.

Hats off.. such amazing storytelling and background score.. amazing acting faisal malik jitendra kumar and entire cast… #season3
Panchayat S3 feels like it is dragging a carcass of what it was in the first 2 seasons.

#Panchayat S03 has been binge-watched, and @TheViralFever & @PrimeVideoIN have hit a home run again🚀🤩

The season starts with a buildup from the last season & is heavy on emotions for the first few episodes but quickly gets into its actual feel-good track😍 #PanchayatReview pic.twitter.com/3sPvPPG0XH
Panchayat season 3 is way below expectations. The entire season story could be easily put in 2 episodes at max instead of 8. Unnecessarily streched.

Where the majority perception is in favour of the new season, some do believe it’s stretched. Regardless of the reviews, the first two seasons struck a chord so powerful one can’t help but get drawn to the new season.
