Panchayat is without a doubt one of the most popular shows in the Indian OTT space and one of Amazon Prime Video and TVF’s most successful properties in the country. Fans have been diligently waiting for the fourth season of the show, which was initially supposed to release on July 2. But a recent development has changed that timetable, as the makers of the series have come up with their own way of interacting with their audience and have opened the polling booths to fans for them to decide when the next season will come out.
In a video released by Prime Video, Pradhan ji and Rinki can be seen in conversation with Vikas about the upcoming election between Manju Devi and Kranti Devi. The three are plotting about what the next step should be in this election campaign when Rinki comes with a scorcher of a plan and says, “Our party should have an official theme song.” As you must have guessed, the cast then breaks out in a song about Manju Devi’s political prowess and how she was going to completely change the infrastructure of the village with better roads, airbags for cycles and better electric connectivity.
The opposing party and its members aren’t too far off behind, as Bhushan and Binod discover the track and decide to make one for Kranti. They sing about how they are going to do everything Manju Devi is promising but better. The two singing troops run into each other and start trying to chant and sing louder than each other. This is when Mr Secretary, or Sachiv himself, intervenes and asks them about the audience of the show and whether they have any plans for them. Both candidates then come up to the plate and ask the audience to vote for them. Manju Devi promises to release the next season prior to its release date provided she wins, whereas Kranti Devi promises to do the same thing but in an even shorter span of time.
The makers might have given the promotions for the show just the right amount of push it required before its release. Fans can now vote at https://panchayatvoting.com.
