The much-loved series 'Panchayat' is back with its fourth season, starring
Jitendra Kumar
,
Neena Gupta
, and the whole Phulera gang. Released at midnight on June 24, the new season has already caught the attention of many binge-watchers. Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the latest episodes, making it clear that 'Panchayat' still holds a special place in their hearts.
Politics takes centre stage
This season dives straight into the local elections, setting up a face-off between Manju Devi and Kranti Devi. It's not just about politics, though—it's about people, emotions, and village life in its rawest form.
One fan wrote, 'Binged the entire season, and I must say, #Panchayat4 remains as relatable and heartwarming as its predecessors. ❤️ This season skillfully blends comedy, emotion, and intense drama, as the story revolves around the elections in Phulera. It's MANJU DEVI VS KRANTI DEVI.. and it beautifully captures the grassroots political machinery in all its chaotic glory… The silences, the unspoken words — they stay with you. ✨'

Binge-worthy, but opinions split
Many fans raced through all episodes in one go.
'Good night, binge watched #panchayatseason4'
Another post read, 'Binged #panchayat season 4 on @PrimeVideoIN , I'm positive i won't be able to sleep after what is just witnessed, subtle, Desi yet entertainment overdose, hatsoff to all the people behind this✌️ can't wait for season 5 already 😭'
But not everyone was fully satisfied this time around, A viewer wrote, 'Finished #panchayatseason4, dragged storyline, less comedy,more emotional as compared to previous seasons,but still fav.🤩(Why endings like these every season😏)#PanchayatOnPrime'
More emotion, less humour
While the earlier seasons struck a perfect balance between laughs and emotional depth, this season leans more on the emotional side. Some fans appreciated this, calling the show a complete cinematic experience.
'#PanchayatSeason4 is not just a show it's an institution of cinema. A masterclass in storytelling, screenplay & emotion. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry every frame speaks. Some victories don't bring joy. Some victories hurt more than defeat. That's real. That's #Panchayat'
One particular episode stood out for many, 'Panchayat Season 4 peaks at "Ashirvaad" (Episode 5). Not as good as previous seasons. Politics is the major plot, can't help but compare with previous seasons. @malikfeb is always a treat to watch ❤️'
Some criticism from loyal fans
Even the most loyal viewers had a few complaints. They noticed the slower pace, less comedy, and slightly stretched plot. '#panchayatseason4 is a step up but feels stretched with less humor. The love angle adds charm but lacks depth. Prahlad's role shows promise & Pradhan's arc could be key next season. A tighter screenplay is needed else dragging it further may do more harm than good.'
Still a favourite for many
Despite the minor drawbacks, the love for 'Panchayat' remains strong. The simple storytelling, loveable characters, and slice-of-life charm still connect with audiences. 'Hi @TheViralFever,
Panchayat Season 4
once again proves why Panchayat is a storytelling gem. With every episode, it masterfully balances lighthearted village misadventures and deeper emotional undercurrents.🧡Now… Awaiting Season 5✨'
The cast that fans have grown to adore returns with their strong performances, Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Sanvikaa, Chandan Roy,
Durgesh Kumar
, Ashok Pathak, Faisal Malik, Sunita Rajwar, and
Pankaj Jha
. Each one continues to bring life to the
Phulera village
story.
Etimes Review
According to Etimes review, the season may not be as fresh as before. While it keeps its original mood and format, the review points out that there's a lack of story progression. It reads, 'While 'Panchayat' still carries its signature charm and simplicity, it's clear the new season treads familiar ground. The show continues its format of building entire episodes around small incidents, often without contributing to a larger narrative arc… Creative fatigue shows, especially in the fifth episode featuring Manju Devi's father—a subplot that adds absolutely nothing to the story…'

Ryan Coogler on ‘Ironheart' and the rise of spectral tech: "I like to take things one step at a time"
The Ironheart executive producer Ryan Coogler was not thinking of a spinoff series for Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams, who was first introduced in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' in 2022 as a young, Chicagoan, technically savvy person. Once Marvel's team approached him about it, the character's future in the MCU was set in stone. Words of Coogler Coogler told Deadline on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere, 'No, no, I like to take things one step at a time' for the series held at the El Capitan Theatre. The 'Sinners' administrator said the character of Riri first came about as a 'foil to [Letitia Wright's] Shuri,' someone who could showcase her growth as she filled a 'mentor' and 'big sister' role. It wasn't until the creative team was 'down the road' on the film that he was approached by 'Ironheart' executive producers 'Brad Winderbaum' and 'Zoie Nagelhout' about a whole show about it. 'It was obviously complicated, wanting to make sure that we were leaving enough room while establishing who Riri was, but it's been so exciting,' Coogler said. 'It's so crazy to be putting this movie out now' The series also serves as the MCU's introduction of weird magic meeting tech through the character The Hood, portrayed by Anthony Ramos, the villain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cara Membantu Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma Limfoma Pelajari Undo A criminal who gets his hands upon a magical cloak powered by the same forces that were in the movie 'Doctor Strange.' Coogler said, 'It's so crazy to be putting this movie out now, at the time where AI is on the front of everybody's mind, technological ethics are on the front of everybody's mind,' further adding, 'but also — we didn't know it was going to be Dr. Doom and the Avengers when we first started, but he's a guy in publishing who's most famous for fusing technology and magic, so it's a great sample of things that are to come in probably what's going to be the biggest movie in Marvel history.' Also, when asked about 'Black Panther 3,' Coogler said he's currently 'working' on it. Thorne shared how her STEM-oriented protagonist will deal with things She said the protagonist will deal with 'more mystical side of things. We definitely see her family, her mother try to kind of welcome her into that in a very rudimentary way and also really spiritual way that she is not at all interested in, so I think it's a hilarious journey and also a really tempting journey that we see her go on once she realizes the full extent and capability of the magic side of the world.'

Victim mindset is a choice and I don't choose it: Rachel Zegler
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) "Snow White" actor Rachel Zegler says online comments can be alarming, but she chooses to avoid having a "victim mindset" and instead focuses on positivity, light and happiness. Zegler, who most recently appeared in the fantasy film "Snow White", received mixed reviews on her casting, with many questioning the makers' choice of the actor in 2021. In 2022, she was criticised again after her comment on Prince Charming from the original 1937's story as she called him "dated", adding how he "literally stalks" Snow White. The 24-year-old actor was asked about the comments people put out on social media. "It's really alarming at times," Zegler told i-D magazine in an interview. "I think a victim mindset is a choice, and I don't choose it. I also don't choose nastiness in the face of it. I don't choose negativity in the face of it. I choose positivity and light and happiness. And I do believe at times, happiness is absolutely a choice, and every day I wake up and I think I'm very lucky to live the life I live," she added addressing negativity. Zegler has also been supportive of Palestine amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. "My compassion has no boundaries, is really what it is, and my support for one cause does not denounce any others. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo That's always been at the core of who I am as a person.

She said, "There are obviously things that are at stake by being outspoken, but nothing is worth innocent lives. My heart doesn't have a fence around it, and if that is considered my downfall? There are worse things." "Snow White" was directed by Marc Webb, best known for films such as "500 Days of Summer", "Amazing Spider-Man" series and "Gifted". It also featured Gal Gadot in the role of the Evil Queen and released in March.
