“Panchayat 3,” the latest installment in the popular web series, attempts to continue the journey of Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar) and his experiences in the rural Indian village of Phulera. Unfortunately, the third season struggles to recapture the charm and originality that initially captivated audiences, resulting in a rather disappointing experience.
The series picks up with Abhishek still grappling with the challenges of village administration while preparing for his MBA entrance exams. However, the narrative feels stretched thin, lacking the freshness and engaging subplots that made the earlier seasons enjoyable. The humor, once a strong point of the series, now feels forced and repetitive, often falling flat and failing to elicit genuine laughter.
While the cast, including Neena Gupta and Raghubir Yadav, deliver commendable performances, they are let down by a script that lacks depth and novelty. The character arcs seem stagnant, with little to no development, leaving viewers with a sense of déjà vu rather than anticipation for what’s next.
Moreover, the pacing of “Panchayat 3” is a significant drawback. Episodes often meander through mundane village life without introducing new, compelling conflicts or resolutions. This slow progression makes it difficult for the audience to stay invested in the storyline.
Visually, the series continues to capture the essence of rural India beautifully, with scenic shots of the village landscape. However, this aesthetic appeal cannot mask the overall decline in narrative quality and engaging content.
In conclusion, “Panchayat 3” fails to build upon the strengths of its predecessors, offering a slow-paced and uninspired continuation of Abhishek’s story. While loyal fans of the series might find moments of enjoyment, the season largely falls short of expectations, making it a less compelling watch.
