Panchayat, the web series on Amazon prime is a gem which depicts rural India's problems on a blunt scale but makes us feel its hard hitting resonance.

It tells a story of a young man in his mid 20s, who unable to find a job in the corporate sector settles for the job of a panchayat secretary for a meagrely salary. The innocence of rural India is depicted beautifully in this well written show which is filled with truckloads of humour. The lazy style of film making was an excellent idea to suit the pace of the story. Raghuvir Yadav as the headman and Jitendra Kumar's portrayal of the secretary was very nice.

The show focuses on social issues plaguing rural India ranging from patriarchy to superstition and is laced with black comedy.Panchayat is a must watch for everyone who lives in urban India and watch villages only in movies.
