About Panchayat season 4

The fourth season of the series premiered on Prime Video on June 24. The season marked the return of Jitendra Kumar as Sachiv Ji, alongside Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, and Pankaj Jha. This time, the plot is focused on the election season in Phulera, along with the drama and tension it brings along. Barely hours after its premiere on Amazon Prime Video on June 24, the series fell prey to piracy, with all eight episodes getting leaked on unauthorised platforms.

As per Hindustan Times, the latest season, focused on Phulera's Panchayat elections, completely disregards what had made the show great - simplicity and relatability. “Panchayat season 4 sees formula creeping in finally, and also an overload of the murkiness of politics over the simplicity of human emotions... The new season also feels more manufactured than before, with the sameness of formula appearing to finally show its face here. That robs the narrative of the freshness that Panchayat had managed to retain for three seasons,” it read.
