One of India’s most beloved web series, Panchayat, is back with its much-anticipated Season 4, and this time, the excitement has reached an all-new level. What was initially scheduled for release on July 2 has now been preponed to June 24, thanks to an interactive fan voting campaign that took the internet by storm. The trailer for the new season has already created buzz, offering a hilarious and dramatic peek into the Pradhan elections of Phulera, bringing back the rustic charm, comic relief, and emotional depth that have made Panchayat a household name.
Fan Power Drives Early Release
The makers of Panchayat, The Viral Fever (TVF), and Prime Video launched a unique promotional campaign that mirrored the central theme of this season: elections. Fans were invited to vote for their favorite character between Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) and Kranti Devi (Sunita Rajwar) through an interactive website, www.panchayatvoting.com. Over 6.5 million votes were cast, tipping the scale and unlocking the earlier release date of June 24.
This creative campaign mimicked a real village election, complete with fake manifestos, rally songs, rap battles, and promises ranging from “airbag-fitted cycles” to “Phulera runways.” In true Panchayat style, it blended humor, satire, and engagement, making fans a part of the story before the season even began.
The Trailer: A Carnival of Chaos in Phulera
The trailer for Panchayat Season 4, released by Prime Video, is packed with punchlines, satire, and a glimpse of the intense power struggle between Manju Devi, the sitting Pradhan, and Kranti Devi, her fiery opponent. The village of Phulera is transformed into a vibrant political battleground. With loudspeakers blaring slogans, dancing supporters, and local drama, the trailer promises a high-voltage showdown.
Amidst this, we also see Sachiv Ji (Jitendra Kumar) caught in the middle of the rising tension, trying to maintain sanity as things spiral into absurdity. Pradhan Ji (Raghubir Yadav), Vikas (Chandan Roy), and Banrakas (Durgesh Kumar) are back with their signature antics, while Rinki (Sanvikaa) and Abhishek’s budding romance adds emotional texture.
Another exciting plot thread the trailer hints at is the unresolved shooting incident from the Season 3 finale. Fans are eager to see how this cliffhanger unfolds and what consequences it has on the village and its politics.
