Amazon Prime’s recently premiered Panchayat 2 has been receiving a better response compared to the first installment. The second season continues the journey of a guy from the city trying to adjust to a village as a Panchayat secretary. The show continues to be a comfortable break by refurbishing its old features and bringing in some interesting new elements.
Veteran Bollywood Analyst cum Business Transformation Expert Hirav Shah observes that some of the best scenes in Panchayat 2 have little action or plot twists. Like the first season, this also rests on the little pursuits and dilemmas of Phulera village, mildly spiced with satire, deadpan humor, and winning performances. Like the first season, this season steers clear of deep-diving into the bigger issues of rural India like caste, economic disparity, corruption, and political bullying. It keeps its focus on the dynamics among its primary characters.
Hirav adds, “All the characters continue their excellent journey along with some new tropes that make the second season a more delightful one. The second season of Panchayat breaks all the myths of how the second season or a sequel usually fails and shines even brighter than the first season.“
Hirav Shah Picks 5 Key Reasons Why Panchayat season 2 become a bigger hit than the first season.

The details about Phulera village
In the first part of Panchayat, the Phulera village setup used to be a background property to showcase how a city-centric person adapts to the village temporarily for a job. Coming to the second part, the makers have showcased Phulera village as one of the key characters.
The village has also evolved, and just like the show’s character, it has started to give a feeling of a friend when watching the show.
Settled drama
Panchayat season two is not just another Bollywood drama. Many believe that tweaking the same drama with more fun moments and adding more things that make the audience feel relatable will eventually work with the upcoming parts, which rarely happens. This is the reason why depicting new challenges and new character arcs in the script is important, and Panchayat 2 does this amazingly. The new characters that are introduced provide hilarious fun and engagement. Looks like TVF production has become a master in making the viewers hooked to the narrative.
Performances
Splendid performances from Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Neena Gupta, and Chandan Roy add realistic texture to the show. While watching the series, one thing that instantly triggers is that each lead actor shines by displaying their strengths.
Even the new additions like Sanvikaa, Sunita Rajwar, and many more gave brilliant performances. The outstanding work from the artists is also a major plus point for the show.
The Subtle Comedy
While the first season prominently focuses on the little things surrounding the village, in the second season, the drama and issues in the village are expanded with proper detailing. From the driver advertising against alcohol to falling at the gate of Abhishek while drunk to a new cocky MLA being on the battleground to fight the Dubeys, the show addresses various social issues and gives an effective presentation.
The wrap-up episode
There comes the point where you think the show is going nowhere and will end on a flat note, and the unexpected twist comes during the final episode.
Suddenly, there will be silence in the frames of the show, and everything looks like it’s falling like a water wall. However, the death episode of one of the key character’s sons, an Army officer, has been shot with so much authentic presentation and brings an emotional texture to the final portions.
Hirav Shah concludes by saying, “As a story of rural manners, with a gently satirical and comedic lens on cowardice and complacency, told at a leisurely pace and staying firmly on course as a drama that derives its grist from trivial pursuits, Panchayat 2 is a triumphant saga.”
