Panchayat 1 won over the critics, classes and the masses. When Amazon Prime Video announced its original Panchayat’s release on its service in 2020, it marked a shift of narratives amid the OTT world. It was soon after that with the pandemic ongoing, that Panchayat became a nationwide success and went onto break the pattern of dark, dystopian content with its slice of life, comedic storyline where everyone was emotionally residing in ‘Phulera’.

During these times, Panchayat finally came as a breath of fresh air amid chaos, breaking the clutter with its storyline. Amazon Prime Video’s original Panchayat— Set in rural India, brought to the mainstream much-awaited talents Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta and Raghuvir Yadav in pivotal roles.
