After a successful three-season run, Panchayat Season 4 is widely admired and has become a major success for Amazon Prime Video. The village-set series, often hailed as a modern-day version of Malgudi Days, is loved for its rustic charm, simple storytelling, and relatable characters. Many fans consider it one of the finest Indian web series of recent times. They are now eagerly waiting for Panchayat Season 5, which is slated to release in 2026.
To fill the long gap between Seasons 4 and 5, should the makers of Panchayat consider trying something bold, just like Mirzapur has planned to do? After Mirzapur Season 3’s record-breaking performance on the streaming platform last year, a feature film adaptation of the series was later announced (via Variety). The Mirzapur movie is slated for a theatrical release in 2026, expanding the franchise beyond the small screen.

So, the question – Should Panchayat take a page from Mirzapur and consider a similar strategy before Season 5 arrives? Yes, it could be a great way to keep fans engaged and the buzz alive. That said, considering Panchayat’s grounded, slice-of-life tone and simple storytelling, a direct-to-streaming release would be far more suitable than a theatrical one. A big-screen outing makes sense for Mirzapur, thanks to its high-octane action, intense drama, and larger-than-life characters. But for Panchayat, a direct-to-OTT release would seem more logical if it ever happens.

What kind of story could keep fans engaged while staying true to Panchayat’s tone? If a Panchayat movie ever gets made, it could potentially explore a mini-story about Abhishek’s growing bond with the villagers. His evolving relationship with Rinki could also take center stage. Another route could be a stand-alone story where Phulera faces a severe crisis in a single day — e.g., a water crisis, a health emergency, or a land dispute. The film could follow how Abhishek, Pradhan Ji, Vikas, Manju Devi, and the whole team tackle the urgent problem.
The underlying story of Panchayat revolves around an engineering graduate, Abhishek Tripathi (played by Jitendra Kumar), who reluctantly accepts the post of Secretary of a panchayat office in a remote village of Uttar Pradesh. How he deals with the village’s everyday problems while studying for an MBA entrance exam carries the story forward.
He gradually forms a bond with the village’s Pradhan-Pati (played by Raghubir Yadav), his loyal assistant Vikas (played by Chandan Roy), the Up-Pradhan Prahlad (played by Faisal Malik), the actual Pradhan Manju Devi (Neena Gupta), and Manju Devi’s daughter and his romantic interest Rinki (Sanvikaa). The fourth season focuses on the Panchayat elections and the fierce political rivalry between Pradhan Ji and Bhushan’s camps.
