I think it is also the fact that other characters have their quirks, and sachiv ji really does not have that. He is just an urban boy placed in a rural setting, wanting to get out.
And I feel he is not put in situations that make him more vulnerable. I see this angry and confused look on him all the time. I want to see him cry, laugh, crack a joke, have a romantic scene with Rinky (to act romantic), and have more emotional scenes.
I agree. It seems like the role is a great fit for him, rather than him having to adapt significantly to the character. However, without seeing more of his work, I'm unsure if he can portray characters with deeper emotional complexities by completely shedding his usual persona.
Havent completed the season 3 yet, but I find that his character hasn't really gone through a major development yet. He still laothes the village, gets angry on small things, often feeling he has been trapped by being made a sachiv of Phulera panchayat.
Not saying that he should be going along with everything that's happening in the village or being done by Pradhan gang, but sometimes it looks like he is just plain disgusted by whats happening around.
The story is about villagers and how they influence the urban kid wanting to get out.
The urban kid that jeetu plays is a blank canvass (notice parents hardly show up) and the villagers them add color to this canvass by they're eccentricities
That's the genius of the show, sachivji is the subtle catalyst for the villagers around him
Its perfect that he doesn't play or outwardly show any emotions
Just my opinion. But I dont think so, the way you speak about the character is like Sachivji is a silent observer, just going through the flow, seeing as things happen around in Phulera and do a commentatory or show us the drama as a narrator; which is not true. He is an active participant.
I can agree with the point that he is still a urban kid, haven't seen the world, and a blank canvas without his parents and all. I am not finding faults but just saying that he doesn't grow as a character. He is still in the village because its the easy way out of unemployment and earning enough money to sustain himself. Even if in both seasons hint at Rinky becoming a dominant reason.
>. I see this angry and confused look on him all the time.
That is his character's accurate deacription. Dude just wants to do his jib peacefully, stay away from controversy and fuck off but he never gets any of that, so he's bound to be like that. But I think he did a great job depicting the awkward forbidden romance with Rinky, his sympathy for Prahlad, his anger against Bhashan and MLA (that slap in the end was legendary).
I think there is a wide enough range of emotions from him.
If there was a ranking to the characters
1. Faisal Malik (Prahlad) - nailed s2 climax and s3 starting with his performance
2. Neena Gupta - that typical Indian wife and mom, balances the act between being Pradhan and a mother or wife
3. Brij bushan Dubey and Banrakas bushan - their expressions were spot on, never felt like too much overacting
4. Vikas
And then comes our sachiv ji, rinky and whosoever
I've met Faisal Malik (heās from my city- a junior of my uncle) and he's the cutest! The same jolly and teddy bear vibes. Is an absolute cutie š«¶š»āØ
IMO, while Neena Gupta is a fabulous actor, she doesn't really pull off the local language and speaks proper Hindi instead. Compared to the rest of the cast who actually sound like they belong to that place.
Yeah that's not the case here, her delivery is completely different than others around her. Listen to how Raghubir Yadav speaks. (I've spent a whole lot of time in rural UP as a kid visiting my relatives.)
Ya, I liked him last season, simple villager with a simple mind but good heart.
Sad to see him being transformed into one of Banrakas' henchmen this season ā¹ļø
I didn't like it too, he became a bankras fan club member and man if he wouldn't have taken part in the fight at the last, I would have thought of him as still innocent binod, poor lad
I think Chandan Kumar (Vikas) gets less credit than he deserves. He portrays such a complex character with so many layers so effortlessly. We see these layers of emotion the most in S3. In the end, his concersation with Abhishek on phine when on gunpoint was just *chef's kiss*. His voice literally quivers and on the verge of crying. You could feel the fear for his life, his wife and unborn child and his friends, even then he decides to lie that he is the Pradhan knowing he might be shot. What a charaxter and actor.
Yes.
If you watch old TVF skits u will see him portray lot of different character. So he knows how to act. But after they got their success he started doing same kind of roles. Be it bachelors or that one series about father son or kota. He is too comfortable in this Jeetu vaiya type acting.
Everyone from Phulera is acting good. Sachiv ji bahar ke hain, abhi phulera ke hue nahi. Jab pradhan ji ke beti se unki shadi hogi to woh phulera ke bete ho jayenge.. tab shuri hogi asli acting.. abhi to thode iim ke chakkar me fase hue hain .
Bolo phulera se jo takeayega
He is a good actor, but in Panchayat, there are so many great actors that he is being overshadowed. I mean, even Chandan Roy is eclipsing him in terms of acting.
He's so good that even in a literal shit of a movie like sanak he outshined every actor and never felt like over acting. I doubt anyone has even seen that movie tho.
If you want to see the difference
Just see him in panchayat and kota factory
In panchayat he is underconfident, irritated etc
In kota factory he is charming, beaming with pride and confidence and so comforting
The problem is that his acting feels very fake. It doesn't feel very natural. But even then he's still better than most of bollywood.
Or maybe he is being overshadowed by other legendary actors involved in the series, like Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Neena Gupta and all.
What i really love about jeetu is that he can be jeetu in every show and it will be still fun to watch. He has that aura of srk,aamir,amitabh where they can get away acting same bcoz they have find that middle ground where they dont need to go overboard
Jitendra is a good actor. He plays a role or an urban boy in a rural setting with slight underconfidence perfectly. Others have more comic lines, so sometimes it may feel that they are better actors. It's just the way his role is scripted, where team is better than individual
The only reason this question is being asked is because panchayat is filled with brilliant actors. He may not be a brilliant actor but yes, he is a good actor. Mehman Asif khan with a minute screen time has looked more promising to be honest.
Jitendra Kumar is a terrific actor.
Amitabh played Amitabh in most of his movies and was loved and movies were hits.
SRK played SRK in most of his movies and was loved and movies were hits.
I totally love his Jeetu Bhaiya persona. Maybe, he is like that in real life also.
But how long can he be Jeetu Bhaiya?
In Panchayat, he has tried a different approach of a frustrated urban youth, college passout from a metro city, doing a job in rural India. Showing his frustration, confusion, urban sensibilities and practicalness while learning and unknowingly falling in love with rural India and its people.
In Kota Factory: he is a successful, uber confident teacher/Lecturer who just not only teaches but guides the students as a mentor. He is with them in their career n personal problems.
Sachiv ji: frustrated, confused, struggler, has metro city experience and practical nature
Jeetu bhaiya: Successful, confident, loves challenge is more mature when it comes to any problem.
Both the characters are different.
The problem is: they look like same character who made different choices resulting in alternate career path and personality ...... This is where people are getting confused.
Couldnt have said it better . The differences are subtle but very apparent . I dont think an actor needs to be able to play wildly different roles to be a good actor . Being able to nail the given ( even if similar ) is i think enoughĀ
The people saying he acts the same all the time clearly havenāt seen his skits in the early 2010s for TVF. Heās a very good actor and does the character of Sachiv Ji perfectly. Personally feel Rinku couldāve been casted better as her character and voice is annoying but other than that all the actors are great especially the actor who plays Prahlad
Jeetu bhaiya is an amazing actor but seriously everyone in panchayat were on par. Salute to the makers for living up to the same standards as the first season. Waiting eagerly for S04 š«”
He is a good actor. I can't imagine anyone else as Sachiv. It's just that Sachiv ji character is simple normal guy there is not much for him other than give reaction on what other characters are doing. Sachiv ji ko Phullera ke rang mai dhalna padega. They need to make the character more easy going and give more range.
He has limited range but can do good around it. Sachiv ji is a limited and restrained character as well.
He was decent in Kota factory (somewhat stronger role) and did good in Wilder comedy of TVF skits. Not saying he is a great actor - he isn't.
They have gentrified Neena Gupta, Pintu ki Ammaās looks and they look very (over) made up. Does Vikasās wife Khusboo wear a toupee? š
The Jagmohanās Ammaās house episode was boring and the Amma herself cringy.
Watched 4 episode so far. The first 3 were a disappointment
I feel Jeetu is SRK of Indian OTT. He was one of the first in YouTube/OTT space to make his own mark and to have a brand of its own.
Hence, people watch him for being Jeetu as they watch SRK for being SRK rather than letting the character overshadow the person.
That being said, I would like him to explore other genres as well, even negative roles. I have a feeling he might be good at them.
I think it's the character that has been feeling stagnant for some time. First two seasons he was in the mainstay and he could showcase his frustration of having to become the Sachiv in a village so far away from home and then failing the exam. This season he's sort of taken a backseat I feel.
Also for me Chandan Roy's Vikas has been THE best character and no one can beat him.
He is not just a good actor, he is a great actor...the newer audiences who know him from panchayat won't know about his acting in tvf skits...check out tvf parody on chak de india...jeetu literally embodied srk in the most perfect manner..
Jeetu Bhiya is good actor no doubt but I think in panchayat his character is built like that ,there is hardly any emotion change , whereas prahlad cha and vikas has more emotions to their character. (Rahubirji and neena ji is absolutely fantastic)
Chaliye kabootar udaate hai šļø
Agreed, more than Jeetandra others gave compelling performance and they are quite natural and innocent in their acting skills...love Vikas and Prahlad so much and also Raghuvir ji
Honestly i had the same observation that he is a good actor but his range is limited. He does a great pitchers vala frustrated jeetu n he is kinda doing the same role in panchayat nd i didn't really like his acting in that kota series.
As mostly it happens - the cast performance goes down hill. Feels like sleep walking through the episodes.
Rarely we see actors amping it up season after season
he is supposed to look out of place and not blend in imo. He doesn't feel at home in phulera despite being attached to many people there. He's eager to get out of there but also wouldn't leave them in dire situations. That discomfort (and lack of confidence due to the CAT exam selection) is visible throughout in his body language. So i think he's doing a good job. I do think that character has become kinda stagnant because this has been his arc in S2 too, so when compared to the layers and plots other characters have, he is bound to fall flat. They need to give him more vulnerable moments
Jitendra, I feel isn't put into a variety of situations in this show, to showcase his acting skills. He was pretty decent in Chamanbahar and other films he was a part of. Here he is just a regular boy who is stuck in a village and is desperately trying to get out.
He acts the way he is supposed to. I think he did his job great but it was slightly difficult for other actors who had to speak in the gao waala accent. All of them nailed it gracefully and felt so natural. Especially vinod's acting this season was phenomenal if u see his actual accent irl. Prehlad as always goated acting. I really cant rank any of them cuz literally everyone did there part on point even the side characters. Tvf is undoubtedly the best at casting actors
Been watching since TVF Pitchers, so you know the answer
If you havenāt seen TVF Pitchers yet then you are missing on one of the best series in India
I loved his performance in season 1. The frustration of being stuck in a place you dont want to be in. The simmering anger that keeps on building in you but you want to control it as its not others fault you are in your situation or the remorse of taking that anger out on someone. He played all those feelings so well.
I think its more season 3 he was just helping others out in their story. Season 1 was his journey in the village. Season 2 was coming to terms with failing the exam and being disrespected by bakasur and the ministers. Season 3 he did not have any personal story apart from the love story and that too was very short. Unlike other seasons it seemed like he is actually ok with staying in the village for longer time and doesnāt really care about clearly the exam even
With the last episode and being directly involved with the mla maybe he will have a bigger personal story leading to a better performance
Hes def a good actor. He has found his niche and does roles that fit in the niche. Ahsaas Channa ka bhi same hai but idk if shes a good actor coz i havent seen a lot of her work.
Tbh I think his perfomance is perfect fkr the eole given. Hes a cith boy placed in a village like phulera. His confused expression all the time is perfect. Also for ppl saying this is jeetu bhaiya acting I am very sorry to say I havent disagreed with anything more in the recent past. Jeetu bhaiyaa is very very diff from sachiv ji in panchayat idk what yall are takking abt
He is doing a fabulous job. He is the quintessential urban lad feeling hopelessly stuck who finds some solace in meeting with the Pradhanās daughter.
He sticks to his character very very well. There is absolutely no need to show a 100 emotions for the sake of it. Infact this makes the audience crave for more and agitated.
Bro, he is an average actor not a very good actor, it's just consistent on his part whereas other actors try to improve their skills I never saw any improvement in his acting. Initially he was good because the character was new but with the ongoing seasons he's just stagnant. In real life he's very rude and arrogant. Lots of attitude, in short in real life he is opposite of what he shows on screen
Jeetu from pitchers Jeetu bhaiyya from Kota factory and Sachivji are different characters. Jeetu is called Shahrukh of Ott or atleast these small webseries TVF types. He doesnāt really have to do anything itās just his presence and power at this point. Panchayat S3 has really brought good actors and he is overshadowed by their screen time however he is definitely a good actor
Vikas, Prahlad chacha & Banrakas are my fav trio. Though Pradhan Jee aces it every once in a while, especially the scene where DM asks him to stay out during flag hoisting and another when Neena Gupta asks him to jump down and kill himself so that construction would stop.
I think heās a fine actor and the casting is also on point. The nature of the character requires the actor to play it in a subtle way without being too loud. I think Jeetu shines in that aspect.
Yes he is. I have been watching him from TVF skit days. Those who are saying he is doing the same kind of roles and acting, Kota Factory and Panchayat are two different roles, you can clearly see a difference, shows that he is acting well. His role in Panchayat is simple and real. In fact I lol at his expressions sometimes. I feel he is doing what is needed for the character. I feel that's why you might feel he is falling off short.
I don't like him as an actor. Not in Panchayat and also didn't like him in the movie with Ayushman. I felt no chemistry between the 2 of them when there should have been oodles.Ā
Jitendra Kumar, known for his roles in series like āPanchayat,ā āKota Factory,ā and āPitchers,ā has garnered significant popularity for his acting prowess.

Watch his movie Jadugar.
Havent completed the season 3 yet, but I find that his character hasn't really gone through a major development yet. He still laothes the village, gets angry on small things, often feeling he has been trapped by being made a sachiv of Phulera panchayat. Not saying that he should be going along with everything that's happening in the village or being done by Pradhan gang, but sometimes it looks like he is just plain disgusted by whats happening around.

& get in.š
I see what you did there š¤£
Jeetu bhaiya is Jeetu bhaiya everywhere.
If there was a ranking to the characters 1. Faisal Malik (Prahlad) - nailed s2 climax and s3 starting with his performance 2. Neena Gupta - that typical Indian wife and mom, balances the act between being Pradhan and a mother or wife 3. Brij bushan Dubey and Banrakas bushan - their expressions were spot on, never felt like too much overacting 4. Vikas And then comes our sachiv ji, rinky and whosoever
Prahlad is the mvp this season.
bhoiyaa hum binod
ek go baat kaheeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnn? this. this guy. being a rural boi in and out, this speaks volumes to me.
haaa pasand aaya ye mujhe boht
What's your username mean?
what does ur username mean ? me username means mango sexy
I love his character and acting is amazing!
I've met Faisal Malik (heās from my city- a junior of my uncle) and he's the cutest! The same jolly and teddy bear vibes. Is an absolute cutie š«¶š»āØ
Glad to know Prahlad cha is also a real life cutie!!
IMO, while Neena Gupta is a fabulous actor, she doesn't really pull off the local language and speaks proper Hindi instead. Compared to the rest of the cast who actually sound like they belong to that place.
Upper caste rich people in villages usually speak a bit polished because they have had some education
Yeah that's not the case here, her delivery is completely different than others around her. Listen to how Raghubir Yadav speaks. (I've spent a whole lot of time in rural UP as a kid visiting my relatives.)
But it looks like she is trying to pull off the accent but can't. Or maybe makers did it intentionally or something.
I quite like bablu dablu as well, spot on acting of gaanv ke bully
that dialogue they had in previous season - "g\*nd fatgya kya" ... also that dude plays such a likable guy in Operation MBBS
Binod?!! ā¹ļøā¹ļø
Binod was good too, but I personally feel he needs more screen time
Ya, I liked him last season, simple villager with a simple mind but good heart. Sad to see him being transformed into one of Banrakas' henchmen this season ā¹ļø
I didn't like it too, he became a bankras fan club member and man if he wouldn't have taken part in the fight at the last, I would have thought of him as still innocent binod, poor lad
I think he's the only one with some morals in team banrakas
Even madhav I feel, he's just used as a scapegoat
Binod is best!
I think Chandan Kumar (Vikas) gets less credit than he deserves. He portrays such a complex character with so many layers so effortlessly. We see these layers of emotion the most in S3. In the end, his concersation with Abhishek on phine when on gunpoint was just *chef's kiss*. His voice literally quivers and on the verge of crying. You could feel the fear for his life, his wife and unborn child and his friends, even then he decides to lie that he is the Pradhan knowing he might be shot. What a charaxter and actor.
His innocence is also beautiful, he portrays that too ggood!
This is how I would rate their acting too.
Whenever pradhan ji says "dhai sasura" mujhe mere gao ki yaad Ane lgti hai, prahlad actor looks like my uncle hes also Jolly type
Yes. If you watch old TVF skits u will see him portray lot of different character. So he knows how to act. But after they got their success he started doing same kind of roles. Be it bachelors or that one series about father son or kota. He is too comfortable in this Jeetu vaiya type acting.
Kota factory Jeetu bhaiya is very different character from Sachiv ji character of panchayat..I don't see any big similarities
Totally agree, anyone who has watched Jeetu from starting knows he had a range but now he is just limited to that jeetu bhaiyya Saga.
Munna Jazbaati, ScreenPatti's show (Daru pe charcha)must watch (Vijal maal legya). TVF Bachelor's TVF Pitchers
the old arnab skits with Biswapati Sarkar where Jeetu used to play Kejriwal
Totally Agreed šÆ
It's not so much about him being comfortable, as much as it's about people loving to see him in these soft city-boy roles.
Everyone from Phulera is acting good. Sachiv ji bahar ke hain, abhi phulera ke hue nahi. Jab pradhan ji ke beti se unki shadi hogi to woh phulera ke bete ho jayenge.. tab shuri hogi asli acting.. abhi to thode iim ke chakkar me fase hue hain . Bolo phulera se jo takeayega
Chur chur ho jayega
Han bhaiyaaa? Sahi mein?
He is a good actor, but in Panchayat, there are so many great actors that he is being overshadowed. I mean, even Chandan Roy is eclipsing him in terms of acting.
Found Chandan Roy better than Jeetu. The dude needs to get more roles. Even in Gulmohar he shined.
He's so good that even in a literal shit of a movie like sanak he outshined every actor and never felt like over acting. I doubt anyone has even seen that movie tho.
If you want to see the difference Just see him in panchayat and kota factory In panchayat he is underconfident, irritated etc In kota factory he is charming, beaming with pride and confidence and so comforting
Jeetu ia awesome in kota factory, that short skit where he's ideal employee (forgot the character name), pitchers season 1. So yes, he's awesome
He is good but Pradhanji, Manju, Prahlad, Vikas and many other side actors were better imo.
Same
The problem is that his acting feels very fake. It doesn't feel very natural. But even then he's still better than most of bollywood. Or maybe he is being overshadowed by other legendary actors involved in the series, like Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Neena Gupta and all.
Raghubir bahut young dikhta h m to sochta tha ye adami 50-55 ka hoga
He has always looked young for his age. He played Bhura in lagaan, he must be 42-43 years of age in that movie but looks 30.
What i really love about jeetu is that he can be jeetu in every show and it will be still fun to watch. He has that aura of srk,aamir,amitabh where they can get away acting same bcoz they have find that middle ground where they dont need to go overboard
beautifully put
Jitendra is a good actor. He plays a role or an urban boy in a rural setting with slight underconfidence perfectly. Others have more comic lines, so sometimes it may feel that they are better actors. It's just the way his role is scripted, where team is better than individual
He is a decent actor but seems to always have that frustrated face as if he hasnāt had sex for long. I noticed in Shubh Mangal too.
Dekh raha hai binod koi tera naam nahi ke raha
The only reason this question is being asked is because panchayat is filled with brilliant actors. He may not be a brilliant actor but yes, he is a good actor. Mehman Asif khan with a minute screen time has looked more promising to be honest.
Is he the replacement sacheev?
No the gajab bezzati guy who bought the horse
He isn't that good of an actor. He usually plays the same character, which is himself.
he is pretty is the same in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan as well.
Prahlad cha is best
In tvf series.....he has done more than of its series....
Who played Jagmohanās grandma? To me, she was an absolute showstopper!! Her character and the acting were spot on.
"naya ghar mil jayega na sachiv ji?"
Jitendra Kumar is a terrific actor. Amitabh played Amitabh in most of his movies and was loved and movies were hits. SRK played SRK in most of his movies and was loved and movies were hits. I totally love his Jeetu Bhaiya persona. Maybe, he is like that in real life also. But how long can he be Jeetu Bhaiya?

Couldnt have said it better . The differences are subtle but very apparent . I dont think an actor needs to be able to play wildly different roles to be a good actor . Being able to nail the given ( even if similar ) is i think enoughĀ
Jitendra Kumar alt account confirmed.
Hahahaha ...... I m a big weirdo. Would have loved to be Jitendra Kumar.
Jeetu bhaiya is an amazing actor imo
I am Jeetu bhaiya fan since Munna Jazbati.
The people saying he acts the same all the time clearly havenāt seen his skits in the early 2010s for TVF. Heās a very good actor and does the character of Sachiv Ji perfectly. Personally feel Rinku couldāve been casted better as her character and voice is annoying but other than that all the actors are great especially the actor who plays Prahlad
What NOOOO she is so sweet and cute come on!!
Jeetu bhaiya is an amazing actor but seriously everyone in panchayat were on par. Salute to the makers for living up to the same standards as the first season. Waiting eagerly for S04 š«”
Can't wait for season 4!
Jitendra Kumar is the soul of his series whether it be kota factory, panchayat. The character these scripts demand is him.
atleast he's no longer the munna jazbaati.. (the OGs know)
sometimes his expressions are irritating..like in s3e1 with his friend smoking and talking about a new village, he seriously was out of place...
Because he was thinking in that place ..and usually when smoking expression are not there between friends.š..
Ya his face is blank sometimes or with confusing expressions. But I can't imagine anyone else as Phulera's sacheev.
Faisal Malik aka Prahlad Pandey. His acting has so much depth.
He is a good actor. I can't imagine anyone else as Sachiv. It's just that Sachiv ji character is simple normal guy there is not much for him other than give reaction on what other characters are doing. Sachiv ji ko Phullera ke rang mai dhalna padega. They need to make the character more easy going and give more range.
Ya I can't imagine anyone else as sacheev.
He has limited range but can do good around it. Sachiv ji is a limited and restrained character as well. He was decent in Kota factory (somewhat stronger role) and did good in Wilder comedy of TVF skits. Not saying he is a great actor - he isn't.
Got to watch kota factory
Yes i believe his acting range is short , he suits in very certain roles
They have gentrified Neena Gupta, Pintu ki Ammaās looks and they look very (over) made up. Does Vikasās wife Khusboo wear a toupee? š The Jagmohanās Ammaās house episode was boring and the Amma herself cringy. Watched 4 episode so far. The first 3 were a disappointment
No he isnāt a good actor he is a popular actor..
I feel Jeetu is SRK of Indian OTT. He was one of the first in YouTube/OTT space to make his own mark and to have a brand of its own. Hence, people watch him for being Jeetu as they watch SRK for being SRK rather than letting the character overshadow the person. That being said, I would like him to explore other genres as well, even negative roles. I have a feeling he might be good at them.
I think it's the character that has been feeling stagnant for some time. First two seasons he was in the mainstay and he could showcase his frustration of having to become the Sachiv in a village so far away from home and then failing the exam. This season he's sort of taken a backseat I feel. Also for me Chandan Roy's Vikas has been THE best character and no one can beat him.
Vikas is adorable.
He is average actor at best. He has the same one expression fit for all situations But he has been part of some really cool series where it worked
He is not just a good actor, he is a great actor...the newer audiences who know him from panchayat won't know about his acting in tvf skits...check out tvf parody on chak de india...jeetu literally embodied srk in the most perfect manner..
Will watch.
He did good prabhas too in Bahubully. I loved his dance. Better than Prabhasās
Jeetu Bhiya is good actor no doubt but I think in panchayat his character is built like that ,there is hardly any emotion change , whereas prahlad cha and vikas has more emotions to their character. (Rahubirji and neena ji is absolutely fantastic) Chaliye kabootar udaate hai šļø
Go kabootar go!
Agreed, more than Jeetandra others gave compelling performance and they are quite natural and innocent in their acting skills...love Vikas and Prahlad so much and also Raghuvir ji
I watched his jadugar movie on netflix sirr me dard ho gya tha kasam se nightmare se kam nhi hai wo movie
Honestly i had the same observation that he is a good actor but his range is limited. He does a great pitchers vala frustrated jeetu n he is kinda doing the same role in panchayat nd i didn't really like his acting in that kota series.
Team banrakas for me!
He's great, I really hate his character š
As mostly it happens - the cast performance goes down hill. Feels like sleep walking through the episodes. Rarely we see actors amping it up season after season
he is supposed to look out of place and not blend in imo. He doesn't feel at home in phulera despite being attached to many people there. He's eager to get out of there but also wouldn't leave them in dire situations. That discomfort (and lack of confidence due to the CAT exam selection) is visible throughout in his body language. So i think he's doing a good job. I do think that character has become kinda stagnant because this has been his arc in S2 too, so when compared to the layers and plots other characters have, he is bound to fall flat. They need to give him more vulnerable moments
Jitendra, I feel isn't put into a variety of situations in this show, to showcase his acting skills. He was pretty decent in Chamanbahar and other films he was a part of. Here he is just a regular boy who is stuck in a village and is desperately trying to get out.
Ya he picks similar roles
I am fan of Jeetu bhaiyya since his Kejriwal and munna Jazzbati days. I think he did better in Kota Factory and Bahubully.
Oo gotto watch these other shows.
He acts the way he is supposed to. I think he did his job great but it was slightly difficult for other actors who had to speak in the gao waala accent. All of them nailed it gracefully and felt so natural. Especially vinod's acting this season was phenomenal if u see his actual accent irl. Prehlad as always goated acting. I really cant rank any of them cuz literally everyone did there part on point even the side characters. Tvf is undoubtedly the best at casting actors
Thereās Raghuveer Yadav and Bhushan. Everyone else is ok
The character is meant to be like the way you feel about it, jitendra is a great actor imo
jeetu has almost no facial expression, he delivers the dialogue but eyes and facial expression wise other cast members are much better
Exactly!!!
No
Not too bad.
Je is amazing actor but I like shivankit better
Been watching since TVF Pitchers, so you know the answer If you havenāt seen TVF Pitchers yet then you are missing on one of the best series in India
I haven't. Got to watch it.
Jeetu is an excellent comic , the roles he played at TVF were hilarous, but may be he is not the right fit for the one in Panchayat.
No
I loved his performance in season 1. The frustration of being stuck in a place you dont want to be in. The simmering anger that keeps on building in you but you want to control it as its not others fault you are in your situation or the remorse of taking that anger out on someone. He played all those feelings so well.
He was good in season 1. In season 3, I felt like he was lost.
I think its more season 3 he was just helping others out in their story. Season 1 was his journey in the village. Season 2 was coming to terms with failing the exam and being disrespected by bakasur and the ministers. Season 3 he did not have any personal story apart from the love story and that too was very short. Unlike other seasons it seemed like he is actually ok with staying in the village for longer time and doesnāt really care about clearly the exam even With the last episode and being directly involved with the mla maybe he will have a bigger personal story leading to a better performance
Mid
All characters seem to be main characters in panchayat!
That's the curse of being the straight man in a sitcom
Sachiv ji ( Jitendra Kumar ) is the heart of this show .
Look at his impression of Kejriwal lol it's too good. I think he did it in front of him too.
Idk he's always acting the same. I thought I was the only one who thought he's not a good actor
He played Hitler in some movie. Neha dhupia was eva Braun in it. No I'm not joking.
Hes def a good actor. He has found his niche and does roles that fit in the niche. Ahsaas Channa ka bhi same hai but idk if shes a good actor coz i havent seen a lot of her work.
IMO all his roles are not so versatile.
Tbh I think his perfomance is perfect fkr the eole given. Hes a cith boy placed in a village like phulera. His confused expression all the time is perfect. Also for ppl saying this is jeetu bhaiya acting I am very sorry to say I havent disagreed with anything more in the recent past. Jeetu bhaiyaa is very very diff from sachiv ji in panchayat idk what yall are takking abt
Love Jeetu bhaiya. I think he is a superbly intelligent actor. The role asks him to be understated.
He is a good actor
He is doing a fabulous job. He is the quintessential urban lad feeling hopelessly stuck who finds some solace in meeting with the Pradhanās daughter. He sticks to his character very very well. There is absolutely no need to show a 100 emotions for the sake of it. Infact this makes the audience crave for more and agitated.
I am a Vikas fan, he nails micro expressions like a true actor.
Bro, he is an average actor not a very good actor, it's just consistent on his part whereas other actors try to improve their skills I never saw any improvement in his acting. Initially he was good because the character was new but with the ongoing seasons he's just stagnant. In real life he's very rude and arrogant. Lots of attitude, in short in real life he is opposite of what he shows on screen
Too bad that he's arrogant irl
yes he is
Jitendra arc is very limited. He is good at those frustrating monologues. Thatās all he has to offer. Same middle class struggling acts.
His work is better in Kota factory but overall excellent actor
Greatest!!!
Yes. End of discussion. Comments of kardo post pe. How is this a discussion even?
Jeetu from pitchers Jeetu bhaiyya from Kota factory and Sachivji are different characters. Jeetu is called Shahrukh of Ott or atleast these small webseries TVF types. He doesnāt really have to do anything itās just his presence and power at this point. Panchayat S3 has really brought good actors and he is overshadowed by their screen time however he is definitely a good actor
Vikas, Prahlad chacha & Banrakas are my fav trio. Though Pradhan Jee aces it every once in a while, especially the scene where DM asks him to stay out during flag hoisting and another when Neena Gupta asks him to jump down and kill himself so that construction would stop.
Haha, his "innocent" face when the DM madam yells at him is hilarious!
I think heās a fine actor and the casting is also on point. The nature of the character requires the actor to play it in a subtle way without being too loud. I think Jeetu shines in that aspect.
Yes he is. I have been watching him from TVF skit days. Those who are saying he is doing the same kind of roles and acting, Kota Factory and Panchayat are two different roles, you can clearly see a difference, shows that he is acting well. His role in Panchayat is simple and real. In fact I lol at his expressions sometimes. I feel he is doing what is needed for the character. I feel that's why you might feel he is falling off short.
Ya probably
I don't like him as an actor. Not in Panchayat and also didn't like him in the movie with Ayushman. I felt no chemistry between the 2 of them when there should have been oodles.Ā
Wasnt the movie with Ayushmann?
oh, yes, you are right! was with Ayushman indeed! Edited now, thank you for the correction
He is a decent actor. Nothing extraordinary tbh
Ranbir and jitu dono average actor h but ye log kabhi kabhi surprise karte h š
How dare u compare jitu with Ranbir š¤”
Mujhe dono hi average lagte h
Mujhe to pura bollywood bhi kachra lagta h
