It is an art to tell a story. Creating a piece of content that can make someone relate to is extremely rare and difficult. For a platform like web series where showing larger than life characters, some amount of violence, glamorous star cast was considered to be a pre requisite for a successful story, Panchayat (the show on Amazon Prime) truly seemed to be a game changer. It is a seemingly simple story told in an interesting way such that it creates an impact effortlessly.
From showing the lead character taking up a job in a remote village, showing him tackle all the issues which are a part of his job and otherwise without emphasising on his "struggle" was rare and commendable. Such unique plot and a rather refreshing storyline forming part of mainstream content was a welcoming change.
“Hero” in any form of content is shown unreal and yet is expected to relate viewers. For a hero to be real, he has to be one of us and has to go through everything what we normally do. During all this time, we've never been shown a protagonist who went through the fear of missing out or FOMO. Embracing imperfections or rather accepting them is never really addressed through such form of content usually.
Panchayat is clearly a journey which is a different route that people don't usually prefer taking, a longer and troublesome route than a shorter one towards dreams and destination. It is a journey that inspires the viewers strongly yet subtly. To add to it, it somewhat connects us to the stories that we grew up watching and proves to be one such show that can be seen and enjoyed together with all the members of the family irrespective of age and backgrounds.
Superheros come with superpowers but real heroes bring in commitment and abilities to take efforts that create a change. This is exactly what Panchayat successfully delivers. Do watch it for this "hero" who is afraid,vulnerable, helpless but fearless, strong and hopeful at the same time. From entertaining content to the noble art of story telling, Panchayat is certainly not worth giving a miss!
