Panchayat is a comedy-drama, which captures the journey of an engineering graduate Abhishek, who for lack of a better job option joins as secretary of a panchayat office in a remote village of Uttar Pradesh. Stuck between crazy villagers and a difficult village lifestyle Abhishek starts his job with the sole motivation of getting out of there as soon as possible, for which he even prepares for CAT.
Four naive and vulnerable wing-mates (Ankit, Chirag, Jaat, and Jhantoo) develop lasting bonds as they jostle hard to survive the first semester in a hostel. Peppered with absurdities, chutzpahs, clashes and debacles inherent to hostel life, 'Hostel Daze' depicts the grill that every Indian hostel-resident goes through.
