The series titled “Gram Chikitsalay,” starring Amol Parashar and Vinay Pathak, had its premiere on May 9th. Similar in essence to the creators behind Panchayat, this show shares an uncanny resemblance in spirit and atmosphere with Jitendra Kumar’s series. With its backdrop of a rural setting, eccentric characters, and a protagonist navigating village life, it echoes much of the enchantment and humor that catapulted Panchayat to success.

Although it has a unique narrative, Gram Chikitsalay shares recognizable themes and character dynamics reminiscent of Panchayat, making a striking resemblance for its viewers. Let’s explore the reasons behind this apparent linkage.

5 reasons why Gram Chikitsalay mirrors Panchayat

Both series take place in quaint, countryside locales, providing a genuine look at the daily struggles and lifestyle of those living in such areas.

2. Outside Point of View: In both series, the principal figures, Dr. Prabhat from Gram Chikitsalay and Abhishek from Panchayat, are individuals coming from urban environments who are adapting to life in rural areas. They grapple with fitting in and understanding local traditions.

3. Unique Townside Personas: In the series ‘Panchayat’, figures such as Prahlad Chacha and Vikas lend strong assistance to Sachiv Ji, providing advice and allegiance, even with their eccentricities.

In Gram Chikitsalay, both Anandeshwar Dwivedi (Phutani Ji) and Akash Makhija (Govind) play crucial parts with their distinct characters. Phutani Ji often indulges in gossiping and chewing tobacco rather than focusing on work, whereas Govind’s endearing naivety adds a touch of warmth to the clinic.

In the spirit of the subtle yet captivating love story unfolding between Sachiv Ji and Rinky in Panchayat, the medical drama Gram Chikitsalay tantalizes with a hint of blossoming romance between Dr. Prabhat (Amol Parashar) and Dr. Gargi (Akansha Ranjan Kapoor). Here’s a peek into my thoughts as I eagerly wait to see how their relationship unfolds!

The way they interact suggests a growing bond, one that might develop further in upcoming periods, mirroring the gradual development seen in Panchayat across its seasons.

5. Social Themes: Both shows delicately critique rural issues concerning infrastructure, healthcare, and administration, without being didactic. They skillfully portray the intricate aspects of rural existence using narrative and character development.
