The Mahodiya village, situated in the Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh, where the popular web series Panchayat was filmed, is in the news yet again. A video showing the dilapidated state of the village, filled with mud after heavy rain, has gone viral on social media, with fans questioning the government why proper amenities have not been provided.
The area in front of the Panchayat Office, as depicted in the show, can be seen riddled with mud and water, while the road has only a narrow passage left for commuters to walk.
"This is the condition of Madhya Pradesh's most famous village, which became nationally popular because of Panchayat, now imagine the condition of an average village in MP," wrote the user on X (formerly Twitter).

'That's why Pradhan ji...'
As the post went viral, a section of social media users questioned the authorities for not taking care of the village and its surroundings, while others had a humorous take on the situation.
"Such things often make me sad and question authorities that despite so many schemes and policies, our rural villages are so underdeveloped," said one user while another added: "Honestly, the panchayat team should have used a part of their profits to at least give this village the basic requirements. It's coz of this village, that they were able to make the series."
A third joked: "That's why Pradhan ji lost in this season."
A fourth said: "Looks like any typical Indian village, nothing alarming here it is just muddy after the rains."
That's why Pradhan ji lost in this season.

'Saiyaara' box office day 16: Mohit Suri's film shows strong Saturday surge and growing theatre buzz

Saiyaara continues its impressive box office run, with early estimates placing the day 16 (third Saturday) collection at ₹ 6.35 crore. This brings the total earnings to a formidable ₹ 291.35 crore, as the film edges closer to the ₹ 300 crore milestone. After earning ₹ 107.75 crore in its second week and ₹ 4.5 crore on its third Friday, Saiyaara witnessed a noticeable uptick on Saturday, reflecting growing weekend interest and positive word-of-mouth. Theatre occupancy also showed a strong trend across major cities. Nationally, Saiyaara recorded 34.38% occupancy in evening shows, up from 30.79% in the afternoon and 16.14% in the morning, indicating a steady climb throughout the day. City-wise, Bengaluru led the surge with 58.67% occupancy, followed by Chennai at 48.67%, and Pune at 35.33%. The National Capital Region (NCR) also held firm at 30.67%, while Mumbai stood at 24.33%. Other metros like Hyderabad (31.67%) and Jaipur (32.33%) contributed to the film's momentum. While some cities such as Surat (10%), Bhopal (19.67%), and Kolkata (19%) showed relatively modest numbers, the overall performance across urban centres suggests continued audience engagement. With Sunday yet to come and momentum building, Saiyaara is well on track to surpass ₹ 300 crore in the coming days. The strong Saturday performance has reinforced the film's commercial success, making it one of the top-grossing Hindi releases of the year. Saiyaara has also become the second Indian film of 2025 to cross the ₹ 400-crore mark globally, next only to Chhaava ( ₹ 808 crore). It is now eyeing entry into the prestigious ₹ 500 crore club, possibly by the end of the third weekend. Saiyaara is a romance-drama about Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a budding musician, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a shy writer. Through their relationship, the film explores love, loss, and drama.
