Panchayat Season 4 Finale Receives Lowest Rating in the Series; Fans Express Disappointment

The fourth season of the popular Hindi web series Panchayat has left fans divided. While the show continues to feature beloved characters and strong performances, the finale has been rated the lowest in the series so far. Many viewers found the ending disappointing, citing a shift in tone and lack of the humor that made earlier seasons special.

Panchayat Season 4 premiered on Amazon Prime Video on June 24, 2025. The season focuses on the panchayat elections in the fictional village of Phulera, with political drama taking center stage. However, fans feel the show lost its simplicity and emotional depth, leaning too much into politics.

Why Fans Are Unhappy With the Ending

According to IMDb ratings, the Season 4 finale, titled Dabdaba, holds an 8.4/10, the lowest in the series. In comparison:

• Season 1 finale: 8.8
• Season 2 finale: 9.6
• Season 3 finale: 9.0

Fans took to social media to express their disappointment. Some called the season “dragged” and “boring,” while others missed the show’s signature humor.

“Finished watching #PanchayatSeason4. Disappointed to the core. Slow, even boring in some parts. Lacked the USP comedy… unexpected downfall.”

“I didn’t like Panchayat Season 4… too much bad politics. On top of it, the ending is not good. Why did they make it like this and ruin a good series?”

“Panchayat Season 4 felt like attending a wedding you didn’t even want to go to, but you’re forced to sit till the end.”

What Went Wrong?

Critics and fans agree that Panchayat Season 4 struggled with pacing and storytelling. Earlier seasons were praised for their simplicity and emotional moments, but this season focused heavily on election drama. Some viewers felt the plot was stretched, with less focus on character growth.

The romance between Sachiv Ji (Jitendra Kumar) and Rinki (Sanvikaa) also saw little development, disappointing fans who were invested in their relationship. Additionally, key mysteries from Season 3, like who shot Pradhan Ji (Raghubir Yadav), were left unanswered.

Mixed Reactions to the Political Shift

While some fans disliked the political angle, others appreciated the realistic portrayal of village elections. The battle between Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) and Kranti Devi (Sunita Rajwar) was intense but divided opinions.

“Binged #Panchayat4. It’s still relatable and heartwarming. This season blends comedy, emotion, and intense drama well. MANJU DEVI VS KRANTI DEVI captures grassroots politics in all its chaos.”

“Panchayat Season 4 peaks at Episode 5. Not as good as previous seasons. Politics is the major plot—can’t help but compare.”

Will There Be a Season 5?

Despite the mixed response, Panchayat Season 5 is already in the works. Actress Sanvikaa (Rinki) confirmed that writing has begun, and filming is expected to start by late 2025. The new season might release in mid or late 2026.

The Season 4 cliffhanger—with Kranti Devi winning the election and Sachiv Ji clearing his CAT exam with 97%—sets up major conflicts for the next season. Fans hope the show will return to its roots with more humor and emotional depth.
