Review by FirstDayMovieReviews

A pro at playing a common middle class boy, Jitendra Kumar sleepwalks in his role of Abhishek Tripathi. As he relocates himself, the script explores the unfamiliarity and the discomfort that a city boy goes through. In many scenes, you can feel his helplessness in few frivolous situations.

The relationship between Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) and Pradhan (Raghuvir Yadav) as the head of the village is endearing. Their discussions, aimed at poking each other, help in taking the narrative of the show ahead with apt situational dialogues.

Vikas played Chandan Roy, the the side kick for Abhishek's character leaves an impression. As an assistant to the secretary, he gets enough meat to stand out.

Chandan Kumar, who wrote an earlier TVF series, Humorously Yours, is the man behind Panchayat. He manages to bring to the fore the simplicity of a village life where everybody goes to sleep at 7pm. Abhishek goes through the conflict of adjusting to this slow paced life with no social life over the weekends, no electricity, and no friends and you can feel the angst in him.

The makers know the pulse of their audience and crack it again by offering us this entertainer.
