A critic from Cinema Express wrote that "Despite a premise that offers plenty of eccentricities to play with, it is let down by blandness and needed a fleshed-out screenplay". [6] A critic from OTTplay wrote that "Sugan Jay's eight-part series effortlessly segues from one episode to another, but as a whole, doesn't really leave an impact, thus relegating it to a one-time watch". [7] A critic from Scroll.in wrote that "The eight-episode show could easily have been wrapped up at half the length. There is actually a fine and fun movie here, about stereotypically clueless villagers sitting on the equivalent of the discovery of oil in their backyard". [8] A critic from India Today wrote that "An example of an excellent village-based comedy drama is Panchayat, which has all the elements in the right proportion, from performances to story to narrative style. A leaf must definitely be taken out of that show by Sugan Jay". [9]
