Who would’ve thought that a tiny village called Phulera would become our favourite escape year after year? Yet here we are, three weeks into Panchayat Season 4, and Jitendra Kumar’s awkward but adorable Sachiv ji is once again living rent-free in our hearts — and on our screens!
While big-budget thrillers and crime dramas fight for attention, Panchayat quietly reminds us why we fell in love with it in the first place — its raw honesty, those small-town squabbles, and characters who feel like family. And clearly, we’re not alone. In just three weeks, the show has clocked a whopping 20.8 million views, making it 2025’s third most-watched web series so far.
But here’s the fun part — can this warm village tale beat the big guns and grab the top spot? Let’s break down the numbers, the charm, and the road ahead for Panchayat Season 4.
Panchayat Season 4 OTT Verdict
If you’ve ever needed a show to remind you of home — the dusty lanes, the quirky neighbours, and that good old chai break gossip — Panchayat Season 4 is probably playing on your screen right now. Jitendra Kumar is back as Abhishek Tripathi, the reluctant but lovable Gram Panchayat Secretary of Phulera, and once again, he’s pulled viewers in by the millions.
The numbers say it all — in just three weeks, Panchayat Season 4 has gathered 20.8 million views on Prime Video, making it the third most-watched Indian web series of 2025 so far. Not bad for a show about a sleepy village, right?
Panchayat Season 4 Is Holding Up Week By Week
Want a peek behind the numbers? Here’s how the viewership is stacking up:
- Week 1: 8.8 million views
- Week 2: 7.8 million views
- Week 3: 4.2 million views
While there was a bit of a dip in week three, the show still managed to grab the number one spot for the week of July 7–13, according to Ormax. Looks like Phulera is still everyone’s favourite virtual getaway!
Panchayat’s Winning Streak
If you’ve followed Panchayat from the beginning, you know this show has never been about big twists or flashy villains — it’s about everyday people doing everyday things, and that’s its biggest strength.
Season 3, which dropped last year, pulled in an impressive 28.2 million views, just behind Mirzapur Season 3, which ruled with 30.8 million. Even Season 2 outdid that with 29.6 million views. Season 1 set the stage for all this love, but the makers never released official viewership for it. Still, it’s safe to say it gave everyone a reason to stick around in Phulera for four seasons!
Panchayat Season 4 Beats The Biggies?
Here’s the big question — can Panchayat Season 4 catch up with Bobby Deol’s Aashram Season 3 Part 2 (35.3 million views) or Criminal Justice Season 4 (34.2 million views)? It’s a tough climb, but if there’s one thing Panchayat has proved, it’s that slow and steady does win the race.
And here’s a fun fact — this new season has already overtaken the entire lifetime views of Gram Chikitsalay (another TVF show), which had a total of 9.9 million views. Now that’s what we call steady growth!
Why People Keep Coming Back To Panchayat Season 4
There’s no scandal or high-speed chase here — just a simple story about a man who didn’t want this job but ends up becoming part of a village family. Maybe that’s exactly what makes Panchayat Season 4 special — it feels real. The characters argue, gossip, laugh, and look out for each other just like our own families do.
Jitendra Kumar slips back into his role so naturally that you’d think he’s lived in Phulera his whole life. Add to that the ever-charming Raghubir Yadav, Neena Gupta, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy — and you’ve got a perfect cast to keep the village alive on our screens.

What’s Next For Panchayat Season 4?
With each passing week, the big question is: can Panchayat Season 4 break its own records and topple the big boys on the leaderboard? The viewership might have slowed down slightly, but don’t underestimate the power of good word-of-mouth. There’s something about Phulera that makes people come back, and come back again.
Final Thoughts
