Panchayat (Village Council) is a pleasant watch with frontman Kumar's usual style and characterisation but it still depends on the tropes involved when you put a man from city into a government job at a council in a remote village. In the pilot season, you can predict what's about to happen in almost all episodes. But there are still some novelties in here which will bring a smile to your face. Nod to Raghubir Yadav and Neena Gupta as well as the other supporting actors for a good showput. TN.
