Sivarapalli is the official remake of Panchayat

Although the series wasn’t heavily promoted, Sivarapalli has gradually become a topic of discussion. Viewers who have watched the series have shared overwhelmingly positive feedback about the village drama. As of January 26, 2025, Sivarapalli has been trending in Prime Video's top ten charts in India. This is a remarkable feat, especially since the show does not feature any major stars.

Directed by Shanmukha Prashanth, the series boasts impressive production values. Set in a small town in Telangana, the tongue-in-cheek humor has resonated with audiences. It depicts the challenges faced by government officers in rural villages with subtlety and wit. The absence of vulgarity and the inclusion of clean, relatable dialogues have made the series appealing to family audiences.

Rag Mayur delivers a crazy performance in Sivarapalli

Rag Mayur delivers a commendable performance as the frustrated government officer who dreams of leaving his job to move to the US. However, the standout performer is Muralidhar Goud, who shines as the Sarpanch. His comedic timing, body language, and interactions with Rag Mayur form the heart of the series, which also conveys a strong social message.

Based on a story by Chandan Kumar, Sivarapalli features music by Sinjith Yerramalli. The rustic songs and background score add an authentic touch to the narrative. The only downside of Sivarapalli is its slow pacing, but if you’re willing to embrace that, this series is worth watching. Stream Sivarapalli now on Prime Video, you won’t be disappointed.
