Review: Panchayat season 2 takes a big swing but pulls its punches

Live Mint  

It’s always incredible to watch the good guys turn into the bad guys. Everyone cuts corners, not least the show’s protagonist: the Panchayat secretary is an underachieving MBA aspirant who wants to get out of the village. To watch The Secretary — whom everyone calls ‘Sachiv Ji’ not only out of deference but because they can’t pronounce his name Abhishek — become vindictive and petty is remarkably ambitious storytelling. It’s impressive for a series to pivot from comedy to drama, but the opening episodes felt indulgent, a problem Panchayat suffered from even the first time around. Faisal Malik is the standout this season as Prahlad, the village Obelix, the warm Deputy Pradhan who laughs the most guileless of laughs when he gleefully rips up The Secretary’s train tickets.
