Panchayat season 4 X review: Jitendra Kumar's show disappoints fans, feels dragged and lacks signature humour
Panchayat season 4 X review: Season 4 of Panchayat brings back the familiar rural setting and emotional storytelling, but this time, it leans more heavily on drama than humour. Jitendra Kumar reprises his role as the sincere Abhishek Tripathi, as the narrative explores deeper emotional conflicts, rising political stakes, and shifting dynamics within Phulera. While the season offers rich character development and poignant scenes, the noticeably slower pace and toned-down comedy might feel like a departure from the show's earlier tone.
Panchayat season 4 X review - Jitendra Kumar's show dissapoints
Going by what people on X (formerly Twitter) are saying, while the show is high on emotions this time around, it lacks the signature humour it usually delivers. Viewers feel that although the show is heartfelt, it doesn't quite match up to the previous seasons and feels dragged out.
One wrote, ' Feels boring in some parts, especially when compared to previous seasons. Less comedy this time. Story feels dragged.' Another added, 'Finished #panchayatseason4, dragged storyline, less comedy,more emotional as compared to previous seasons.'
A third went on to add, '#Panchayatseason4 the worst season of all... Utterly ridiculous and disappointing.'

Sorry to say, but Panchayat Season 4 is a letdown. The election drama feels overstuffed, with too much chaos and unnecessary complexity in the scenes. It lost the charm and simplicity we loved. #PanchayatSeason4
Just one word... Disappointing!!! 🥺 #PanchayatOnPrime #panchayatseason4 pic.twitter.com/PQ6JwjOeHc
