5 reasons why we feel Amol Parashar’s Gram Chikitsalay mirrors Jitendra Kumar’s Panchayat’s rural charm

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.
