Be it the acting of the star-studded cast or the nuances of the village life, the show was able to strike the right chords with everyone. The small-town dynamics and rural life have become a popular interest of people watching content in the OTT space. After the end of season 2, the show left us with the feeling of wanting more. Here are some shows that are on similar lines to Panchayat:
1. Gullak
IMDB
Gullak encompasses the life of a middle-class family and tells tales around them rather than concentrating on one single story. Gullak stars popular actors like Jameel Khan and Geetanjali Kulkarni and even stars Harsh Mayer along with Vaibhav Raj Gupta. Recently, the third season of the show got released and it became one of the most trending shows in India.
Like Panchayat, it shows the small nuances of lives where every incident is shared by the whole locality, not by a single person.
Where to watch: SonyLiv
2. Aam Aadmi Family
IMDB
The Sharmas are a middle-class family in this show. There's a gossipy grandmother, a diligent father, a sanskaari mother, and two grown children who are doing their best to deal with their middle-class status. They have disagreements every day but they still live in the same house happily. Aam Aadmi Family has similar character-building arcs and it does look like a rough work to build Panchayat.
Where to watch: SonyLIV.
3. Yeh Meri Family
IMDB
Harshu, a defiant Indian adolescent, is coming of age by questioning and understanding the intricacies of middle-class family connections. Every episode shows Harshu, whose voice breaks the fourth wall, figuring out a certain relationship, whether it's with his mother, father, siblings, friends, or Vidhya, his high school crush. Panchayat too at the core is a story of new friendships and relationships, the background may be a bit different but it still strikes the same chords.
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
4. Mannphodganj Ki Binny
IMDB
The show depicts the story of a small-town girl who is planning to escape to a big city but a humourous ride starts while her family continuously suggests her to get married. Like Panchayat, the show does make a connection with the audience with the nuances and incidents of small towns that relate to them on a larger scale. Popular actors like Atul Srivastava and Alka Badota Kaushal are a part of the cast of the show.
Where to watch: MX Player
5. Chacha Vidhayak Hai Humare
IMDB
Chacha Vidhayak Hai Humare stars the very popular Zakir Khan who plays the role of Ronny Bhaiya who influences different situations in the village. The show doesn't have a strict plot it just has tales of how Ronny bhaiya emerges triumphant in various situations, even when the luck doesn't seem to favor him initially. The show directly relates to the kind of socio-political culture of a village and small-town dynamics, Panchayat too covers many episodes on the politics of the small town and rural area.
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
6. Schitts creek
IMDB
Schitts Creek in ways is a lot similar to Panchayat as the Rose family is suddenly faced with a number of struggles when they shift to the countryside after getting bankrupt. Both Panchayat and Schitt¡¯s Creek are about adjusting to a place you never even thought of going to and finally falling in love with it.
Where to watch: Netflix.
7. The Middle
IMDB
The Hecks are a dysfunctional family with limited financial resources that live in a run-down house. The parents are frustrated, but the three children grow up over time, and despite their disagreements at home, they remain a loving family. How they have fought and still remain together is what the show is all about. The Middle doesn¡¯t match the shade of living in the countryside nor does it match the vibe of Panchayat but it does have a similarity when it comes to portraying a narrative on how people adjust even if they have less to spend or have fewer amenities.
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
