Everyone loves #PanchayatOnPrime. It is earthy,humor that we identify with, has people who feel our own.More importantly it has inherent decency which I believe still exists in our lives. Regardless of what Anurag Kashyap brand of cinema tells you and what Social Media tells you
Everyone has been raving about #PanchayatSeason2 so there is really nothing more to say. However what most people have missed in their reviews is portrayal of women in the show. Women of Panchayat are feisty, strong, have a mind of their own and are equals.
Even in the remote village you see the progress that India is witnessing. Rinki’s marriage may be a family affair like most Indian marriages are but her approval is important. She has a say in what she wants. She also dresses up differently from her mother and drives a scooter
Manju Devi is an equal. She is smarter than Pradhan Ji. Clearly has better political instinct than him. But she won’t let him know that:)How many women identify with that. Manju devi played brilliantly by @Neenagupta001 is not a pushover.She gets what she wants and knows no fear.
Cell phone penetration is a modern miracle. People who are desperate to get bathrooms in their homes have cell phones with unlimited data I suppose :) This miracle has been so beautifully shown in #PanchayatOnPrime
Also notice how people address each other even when they are angry. In real world outside of South Bombay and South Delhi, people don’t use nasty expletives. In real world, people generally talk to each other with basic respect. I see that everywhere on India.
