It follows Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar), an engineering graduate who takes a low-paying job as panchayat secretary in Phulera, a village in Uttar Pradesh’s Ballia district.

19 funniest dialogues from Panchayat
1. “Aatmasamman naam ki bhi koi cheez hoti hai.”
Meaning: There is something called self-respect too. A line that turns up whenever someone in Phulera feels insulted, which happens often.
2. “Pehli beer thoda tezi se gatkiyega, varna dusri ka number aate aate garam ho jaati hai.”
Meaning: Finish the first beer quickly, or it gets warm before your turn for the second. Practical drinking advice, village style.
3. “Kab tak chhupoge Phulera ki aad mein, kabhi toh aaoge Phakouli bazaar mein.”
Meaning: How long will you hide behind Phulera? Some day you will come to Phakouli market. A filmy threat that comes out of the rivalry with the neighbouring village.
4. “6 baje poora gaon uth ke baith jayega, toh 9 baje dopahar hi lagega na.”
Meaning: If the whole village is up by 6, then 9 o’clock will feel like noon. Abhishek’s city clock clashes with village time.
5. “Yeh jo tanki dekh rahe hain na, upar chadh kar gaon itna sundar lagega ki aapko gaon se pyaar ho jayega.”
Meaning: Climb this water tank and the village will look so beautiful you will fall in love with it. The water tank later becomes the show’s most famous hangout spot.
6. “Chakke wali kursi par baith kar har aadmi apne aap ko bada samajhne lagta hai.”
Meaning: Sit on a chair with wheels and everyone starts feeling important. This ties to the Season 1 wedding episode, where the groom fights over Sachiv ji’s wheeled chair.
7. “Aadhaar card nahi beta, ek rapat mein sudhaar card bana denge tumhara.”
Meaning: Forget the Aadhaar card, one police complaint and we will make you a “correction card”. A pun on Aadhaar and sudhaar (correction).
8. “Kitni baar bole hain chaabi janeu mein baandh ke rakhiye, par nahi, humein toh fashion karna hai.”
Meaning: How many times have I said to tie the key to your sacred thread? But no, you want to be fashionable. From the Season 1 episode where the panchayat office key goes missing.
9. “Do bachche hain meethi kheer, usse zyada bawaseer.”
Meaning: Two children are sweet kheer, more than that is piles. The family planning slogan painted on a village wall in Season 1, which leads to a big fight.
10. “Darwaza todne ke liye kaun kaha re?” / “Tod toh darwaza rahe the, darwaze se mazboot toh taala nikla.”
Meaning: “Who told you to break the door?” / “We were breaking the door, but the lock turned out stronger than the door.” Pradhan ji and Vikas, during the same missing-key chaos.
11. “Kaam ke baad ek aadmi nahi hota baat karne ke liye. Na mera koi friend hai, na family, na social life.”
Meaning: After work there is not one person to talk to. No friends, no family, no social life. Abhishek’s loneliness in the early days in Phulera.
12. “Weekend hota hai sir, log party karte hain weekend pe. Aur main kya kar raha tha? Lauki chheel raha tha yahan pe.”
Meaning: People party on weekends, and I was peeling bottle gourd here. Abhishek comparing city life with his new routine.
13. “Padhai likhai pe dhyan de bhai, 5 mahine bache hain exam ko. Nikal iss gaon se.”
Meaning: Focus on your studies, the exam is five months away. Get out of this village. A reminder of Abhishek’s CAT plan, which runs through every season.
14. “Nasha badhiya se badhiya aadmi ko barbaad kar ke hi chhodta hai.”
Meaning: Addiction ruins even the best of men. Delivered with a straight face in a scene that is anything but serious.
15. “Gazab bejjati hai yaar.”
Meaning: This is a huge insult. Said by Ganesh, the angry groom played by Aasif Khan, in the Season 1 wedding episode. It became one of the biggest memes from the show.
16. “Sune hain pariksha mein fail ho gaye aap.”
Meaning: We hear you failed the exam. The village always finds out about Sachiv ji’s results before he is ready to talk about them.
17. “Peshaab karte karte achanak dimaag mein aa gaya.”
Meaning: The idea came to me suddenly while I was peeing. Proof that the best plans in Phulera are born in odd places.
18. “Itna badka badka chhed hai.”
Meaning: There are holes this big. Complaining, as usual, about the state of village facilities.
19. “Dekh raha hai Binod?”
Meaning: Are you watching, Binod? Bhushan, also called Banrakas (Durgesh Kumar), says this to Vinod while mocking the Pradhan’s camp in Season 2. The line went viral online and is still used for any “look at this” moment.
Why Panchayat dialogues work
Chandan Kumar writes the way people in eastern UP actually talk. The jokes are small and come from situations: a missing key, a chair, a wall slogan, a beer that gets warm. Nobody in the show is trying to be funny, which is why the lines land.
The cast also makes plain lines memorable. Raghubir Yadav and Neena Gupta play it straight, while Chandan Roy and Faisal Malik add warmth. Durgesh Kumar and Ashok Pathak became breakout names after Season 2. For more lists like this, see our listicles.
