Phulera is back, baby—and it’s messier, spicier, and more rurally romantic than ever before. While most Indian shows are busy launching spin-offs nobody asked for and thrillers with the budget of a 2009 Nokia ad, Panchayat Season 4 swoops in like a dhoti-clad superhero with an Excel sheet of witty dialogues, village disputes, and a buffalo who’s apparently more politically aware than half of Twitter.
Mark your calendars (or just set a reminder on Prime Video)—Panchayat Season 4 releases on June 24, 2025, a week earlier than scheduled because fans couldn’t handle the suspense of whether Abhishek (aka Sachiv Ji) will finally update his LinkedIn from “Temporary Secretary” to “Potential Groom”.
Previously on Panchayat: A Brief Flashback No One Asked For But We’re Giving Anyway
Before we dive into this upcoming season of slow-cooked chaos, let’s quickly revisit Phulera’s emotional archives:
-
Abhishek Tripathi: An engineering graduate-turned-sarkari employee who has mastered the art of looking confused in three dialects.
-
Manju Devi: The official village pradhan who delegates everything except her passive-aggressive glares.
-
Brij Bhushan Dubey (Pradhan-Pati): Husband of the Pradhan, unofficial Pradhan, full-time strategist, and part-time complaint box.
-
Prahlad and Vikas: The Watsons to Abhishek’s village Sherlock. Except here, no crime is solved, but tea is always made.
-
Rinki: The romantic interest who appears for 8.2 minutes per season and still manages to trend on Twitter.
Season 3 ended on a cliffhanger where tensions were as high as the power outage count in Phulera. Enter Season 4, where love, loktantra, and loudspeakers collide.
Election Fever in Phulera: Kranti Devi vs Manju Devi (A Battle That Even Arnab Wouldn’t Moderate)
Forget Modi vs Gandhi—2025’s real political showdown is in Phulera.
Kranti Devi, the spicy sabzi of local politics, is challenging Manju Devi, the seasoned aloo paratha of governance. What started as a silent nod between the ladies in Season 3 has now evolved into full-blown megaphone warfare. Loudspeakers are the new nukes.
In one scene teased from the trailer, Kranti Devi is seen giving a speech with such passion, one might confuse her with a TED Talk speaker—except here, the stage is a tractor trolley, and the audience includes two chickens, three elders, and a buffalo named Kallu.
Meanwhile, Manju Devi isn’t backing down. She’s ready with her own campaign slogan: “Vote for Progress, Not for Bhushan”. Ironically, Bhushan’s campaign slogan is: “Vote for Bhushan, Not for Progress”. Marketing budgets are tight.
Abhishek and Rinki: A Romance Slower Than Indian Bureaucracy
If you thought DDLJ took time, wait till you watch Abhishek trying to text “I like you” without first asking Rinki if she received the government’s fertilizer subsidy.
Their chemistry is beautiful—like a sunset seen through foggy glasses. Season 4 promises to delve deeper into their romance, possibly bringing them closer. Rumor has it there’s even a scene where they sit next to each other without parental supervision.
Fans are hopeful that this season, Abhishek might finally hold Rinki’s hand—or at least press “Send” on that WhatsApp message he typed two seasons ago.
Prahlad and Vikas: The Emotional Backbone of the Show (and the Source of 90% Memes)
Prahlad, the quiet soul with the loudest emotional depth, is set to get more screen time this season. After a tragic arc in Season 3, fans can expect a blend of healing and more heart-to-heart moments over chai.
Vikas continues being the wholesome village boy who doesn’t understand politics but somehow ends up on every political poster. His biggest fear this season? That the new Panchayat Bhavan might have biometric attendance.
The Panchayat Bhavan: A Building With More Drama Than Parliament
Season 4’s unofficial protagonist is the Panchayat Bhavan itself. Walls hear everything. Files go missing mysteriously. Chairs squeak like they’ve seen things. And fans rotate slower than the plot of CID.
This year, a new copier machine is expected to be installed. Sources say the villagers have mistaken it for an ATM, and one person tried inserting a cow token in it.
MLA Chandra Kishore Singh: The Villain We Can’t Help But Respect
Played with unmatched flair, the MLA returns this season not to serve the people, but to serve himself lunch. Whether it’s cutting ribbons, holding press conferences with one reporter, or launching schemes named after himself—he’s got it all.
He’s what happens when power meets pettiness and adds a splash of desi drama. His new initiative this season? “Gaon Gaon Mein WiFi”—where WiFi stands for “Water Isn’t Functioning Internally.”
Rural Satire and Universal Laughter: Why Panchayat Hits Home
While the show is set in Phulera, the emotions are national. Every Indian viewer knows a Manju Devi in their life. Every town has a Vikas who knows everything but gets paid in samosas. Every village has a buffalo who walks into camera frames like a co-star.
The beauty of Panchayat is in its subtle satire. It doesn’t scream. It smiles sarcastically. It’s not here to shake the system—it’s here to tickle it till it laughs at itself.
Expect Season 4 to cover more pressing issues:
-
Bidding wars for the village loudspeaker
-
Voters being bribed with samosas instead of cash
-
Abhishek trying to explain online voting to elders who still yell “Hello beta, hello?” into their landlines
The Animation Poster: When Pixar Met Panchayat
While no official animated version of Panchayat exists, a recent Pixar-style poster went viral—depicting Abhishek in full hero-mode, flanked by Manju Devi and Kranti Devi, both holding protest signs. The buffalo looks more disillusioned than Delhi traffic cops.
The caption reads: “This time, even the buffalo is undecided!”
And truly, that’s the energy of Season 4. A show where politics is local, hearts are tender, and buffaloes are emotionally invested.
Prime Video’s Release Strategy: From July 2 to June 24 (Because Indian Fans Are Loud)
Originally scheduled for July 2, Panchayat Season 4 got a surprise upgrade. Amazon Prime pulled a reverse railway delay by releasing it earlier on June 24, all thanks to fan pressure, social media campaigns, and one guy who wrote “Rinki = Nation’s Crush” on every Reddit thread.
Final Thoughts: What to Expect from Panchayat Season 4
-
More awkward silences than Indian classrooms
-
A romantic subplot that unfolds slower than a village wedding buffet
-
Villainy that feels oddly therapeutic
-
And a buffalo who deserves its own IMDb page
If you’ve never watched Panchayat, now’s the time. And if you have, you already know you’re not ready for the emotional whiplash, the chai-infused sarcasm, and the soul-soothing simplicity of Phulera.
June 24 is not just a release date. It’s an emotion. It’s a movement. It’s an event. Heck, the entire village might declare a local holiday (depending on the panchayat vote).
