After she came to […]

The devolution of Panchayat

The devolution of Panchayat

I just watched the third and fourth season of Panchayat. And I do not like it. The characters are complicated, not in a good way. Things aren’t good-natured – some people seem to be actually malicious. Bhushan, who used to be a useful foil in the first two seasons, has actually become a bona-fide Banarakas, […]
