Panchayat Isn’t No.1 — These Two Indian Series Rank Higher On IMDb’s All-Time Top TV Shows List
Image
A Still Of Panchayat(Photo Credit –Prime Video)

After three much-loved seasons, Panchayat Season 4 is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The village-set series, often called a modern-day version of Malgudi Days, is widely admired for its rustic charm, simple storytelling, and relatable characters. Many fans consider it one of the finest Indian web series of recent times. But if you are under the impression that Panchayat holds the crown as the highest-rated Indian show, think again.

The immensely popular film and TV database portal IMDb houses a list of the Top 250 TV Shows of All Time, featuring critically acclaimed titles from across the globe — from Breaking Bad (top ranked), Chernobyl, and Game of Thrones to Sherlock and Narcos. While Panchayat proudly finds a place on this coveted list, it’s not India’s top entry. Surprisingly, two other Indian series are ranked even higher.

“Amazon’s Panchayat’s Season 4 Sustains Its Mellow Momentum” – A Subhash K Jha Review
Image
To re-enter the Panchayat universe so soon after its third season has its inbuilt hazards. There is the risk of the characters becoming over-familiar with the audience, the ghar ki murgi syndrome. However, that danger is cleverly circumvented in Season 4 with some sensibly aggravated writing.

The characters are never derailed to make them interesting.

The stillness of a small town is still unnerving in Amazon Prime Video’s Panchayat, a splendidly executed series about rural India where… well, nothing happens. Life goes on without adventure or change, let alone transformation

The very reason why the characters who populate the village of Phulera (Uttar Pradesh) in Panchayat seem so frozen in time makes them the cause for much curious probe and idle gossip in the series. Director Deepak Kumar Mishra, still firmly in command, and his writer Chandan Kumar plunge into these inert but alert lives, stirring up what can be called a storm of inconsequentiality.

From Humble Beginnings to Hoardings: How Bhushan and Binod Became Panchayat’s Breakout StarsPanchayatFrom Humble Beginnings to Hoardings: How Bhushan and Binod Became Panchayat’s Breakout Stars
Image
One of the most striking achievements of Prime Video’s Panchayat lies in its ability to turn even the secondary roles into cultural icons — a rare feat in Indian storytelling. Once seen as supporting characters, Banrakas (Bhushan), brought to life by Durgesh Kumar, and Binod, played by Ashok Pathak, have now become cultural icons, gracing city hoardings, lighting up meme pages, and inspiring everyday banter from metros to mohallas. This surge in popularity speaks volumes about Chandan Kumar’s authentic writing and Deepak Kumar Mishra’s grounded direction. Created by The Viral Fever and streaming on Prime Video, Panchayat has consistently struck a chord with audiences across generations. Bhushan’s antics and punchy one-liners made him instantly meme-worthy, while Binod’s silent expressions and understated presence prove that sometimes, all it takes is stillness to leave a lasting impact.

When Bollywood titan Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions backs a film exploring caste and religious discrimination in rural India with Martin Scorsese as executive producer, cinema history gets rewritten.

“Dupahiya Is That Brilliant Bucolic Series We Were All Waiting For” – A Subhash K Jha Review
Image
In a droll season of self-important crime thrillers and soporific family fiestas Dupahiya, now streaming on Amazon, is a blessing. And not even in disguise. There is not a single moment of artifice in the entire length and breadth of the series. It is normal to skip portions of lengthy serials; time, after all, is valuable. If you miss any chunk of this peachy fable of a bride, a wedding, and missing mo’bike, you will do so at your own risk.

Firstly, my compliments to the chef and the writers Avinash Dwivedi, Chirag Garg, Salona Bains Joshi, and Shubh Shivdasani for a screenplay that simply rocks. For those of us who believe that too many cooks spoil the broth, here is proof to the contrary. Crackling hissing writing is so original and game-changing that I thought I would never get to see it on the Indian Ott platform.

Durgesh Kumar, known for his role as Banrakas in ‘Panchayat,’ recently opened up about his acting career and the challenges he faced, including working in soft porn films to make ends meet. The actor, who debuted in Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Highway’ alongside Randeep Hooda and Alia Bhatt, shared his experiences and struggles, including battling depression.

Reflecting on his journey, Kumar said, “This industry is no place for the faint-hearted. It’s filled with crazy people. All the successful actors you see today, like Manoj Bajpayee, Pankaj Tripathi, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who were my seniors at the National School of Drama, have had their own intense struggles. It takes immense dedication to survive here.”

He also spoke about the embarrassment of attending random auditions despite having a film background. “It’s humiliating to go for auditions when casting directors recognize you from previous work,” he admitted.

Panchayat 3 review starring Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta and Raghubir Yadav
Image
“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...
