Gram Chikitsalaya

.. at all. I can't say this enough because anyone who has watched that is certainly going to compare Gram Chikitsalaya with it on some level and they'll end up extremely disappointed.

Gram Chikitsalaya is far more serious, not meant to be as wholesome or even as simple as Panchayat. It is slightly less cheerful and complex. And most of all, it is slow. Agter having watched 5 episodes, I'm not sure if I can identify its genre. In fact, some issues that were raised in earlier episodes are still unresolved, so it's not a "drama of the episode" kind of series either.

It was only after the fifth episode that I could tell that this whole time they were just setting it up. It's too early to tell if this is a good one or not, and that's already saying something.

It may not be compulsory for a series to get you hooked early enough. After all, TVF has earned our trust enough that we could hang on for a few more episodes.

All that said, there's still potential, and once it finds its ground, I'm sure this will be great in its own way.

This is a TVF creation and thus public instantly expects a lot and somewhere they compare it with its blockbuster creation "Panchayat."No matter Panchayat is extremely good but this series "Gram Chikitsalay" is different. At many places you will laugh out loud and at many places you will be emotional. The set up is extremely good,music is good as well as all the actors did very well. Watch it but without any high expectations and also without comparing it with "Panchayat". Both are different and both are entertaining.

The complete series is about a dedicated intelligent doctor who chose to serve the people of a remote village But for him this decision turned out to be a great challenge for him and the story continues as he tries to overcome all his hardships to make his primary health center into a fully functional heath center. Its sweet simple. Definetly it's a one time watch series. Do give it a try. Streaming on amazon prime and it's a prime exclusive.

The first two episodes of the series had me completely with light hearted gags and superficial struggles of Amol's character. However the story gets serious from episode 3 and ends in a way no one would have imagined after watching the trailer. The character choices are drawn heavily from Panchayat (web series) and hence do not feel fresh. Amol Parashar's attempt is honest but Anandeshwar Dwivedi, Vinay Pathak and Akash Makhija are spot on. Garima Vikrant Singh however overshadows them all. I had last seen her in a daily soap called Nimki Mukhiya and had never imagined her doing such a role. Every single actor including the one who plays Sudhir has given his 100% but the story and character development is so abrupt that you cannot remain connected with anyone for long. The series does not stay with you after you complete it but does manage to keep you hooked through out. Probably because you want to see more of Vinay Pathak, but that never happens.

The story as I said is weak and is merely touching upon the struggles MOs have to face during their mandatory rural postings. The research is not proper and grounded. The screenplay also seems to have been written in haste. May be the makers were in a hurry to release it.

Goofs: 1. People are wearing sweaters in September.

2. The guy who delivers vaccine to MO should have come from CMO office, but comes from the direction of village.

3. Village people keep switching from bhojpuri to maghi and maithili.

I was waiting for the series for a week since the time I got to know another TVF series is coming soon, watched the trailer, seemed promising but the show is exactly opposite of it, the story is just like a honeycomb maze and at the end of 5 episodes you'll be left alone questioning yourself.

Im just disappointed, so dont want to write further,

the scenes were set up beautifully, the research part for the show is somehow good, Vinay Pathak, Anandeshwar Dwivedi were great, even Akash Makhija for that matter, they somehow kept me watching till the end, else I would have left the show few episodes earlier.

Amol Parashar was also ok, though I dont think he's much at fault, just the story and the plot didnt make much sense.

I came here to read reviews after watching the show and surprisingly 9, 10 stars, and the language wriiten definitely anyone can figure out are not genuine reviews.

Anwar Says: Another tvf creation after Panchayat with different intent and plot. In the former, we see reluctance to settle the lead in a village, here it is willingness. An honest try to show the truth of PHC In village but a bit exaggerated. The series could not take off because of its sloppy writing and murky pace.

Amol Parashar as Dr Prabhat carries his emotions well. The compounder Puthani -Anandeshwar Dwivedi gave a solid performance. But the standout is Indu played by Garima Vikrant Singh , the depth of her character for her son and Bairagi husband is the sound feature of the story. Vinay Pathak as quack couldn't be exploited. Village elections sequences and characters were hardly funny and were unrealistic. Cinematography and the actual settings of a fictional village of Jharkhand are worth mentioning.

Some of the issues are unresolved like the contents of letter of CMO and what happened to Sudhir, the vanished vaccines,I am expecting the second season, which I hope will be more crisp.
